As a User Experience Designer, you will play an important role in helping us deliver against the

Working in cross-functional teams predominantly within the Marketing, Fundraising, and Engagement (MFE) Directorate, Technology, and business teams to support this ambitious change programme. This will involve improving MFE products by creating compelling, emotionally engaging experiences based on the needs of the charity’s supporters and staff; and designing applications/products/services that are useful, easy to use, and delightful to interact with.

This is an opportunity for you to be part of a stable, ambitious, cross-discipline team with a successful track record of delivering career development and progression opportunities. The team is known for delivering exceptional end-to-end work that spans a broad range of user experiences, products, and services. You will be a part of this by solving complex problems for users and Cancer Research UK by gathering and analysing insights and combining them with your knowledge of interaction design best practices.

  • Collaborating with other capabilities and business owners in multi-disciplinary product and project teams.
  • Influencing, coaching, and upskilling team members across the organisation to help embed user-centred design thinking and approaches.
  • Actively participating in the day-to-day operations of the UX team.
What skills are you looking for?
  • Demonstrable User Experience background operating within Product teams and Agile methodologies (e.g. working in sprints)
  • Strong design history with experience in:
    • Prototyping
    • Designing for multiple devices and platforms
    • Running design workshops
    • Usability testing
    • Inclusive design and accessibility
  • Acted as a self-sufficient UX subject matter expert within a Product environment
  • Can clearly communicate UX concepts with strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
  • Available for 18 month fixed term contract
