Does this sound like you?

You’re eager to progress your career and your next step is towards an environment of innovation and empathy, putting yourself in the shoes of your customers. You’re looking for an opportunity to belong within an industrious Product team and believe that feedback and being challenged are some of the best ways to grow.

You thrive working closely with the wider team and you’re inspired by the opportunity to collaborate with Engineers and Product Managers. You’d love to utilise your design mindset in a team where you can gain a deep understanding of a product, in a company that really encourages you to do so.

It’s important to you that the product you’re helping to create is impactful and solves real-world problems. You’re looking for an opportunity to be highly visible and absolutely integral to the growth and success of the business.

You'll also have:

• 2+ years of product design experience, including exposure to native app design.

• Familiarity with data collection and visualisation software such as Mixpanel, Databricks, Power BI, Google Analytics or similar.

What you'll be doing (in a nutshell)

Working end-to-end with Product Managers, Designers and Engineers to continually improve and contribute to the design of our newly enriched product offering within the now merged Perkbox Vivup organisation.

You’ll have visibility of strategic decisions and the opportunity to enjoy a wide remit for solutionising and decision making.

A key focus will be continuously discovering and understanding our customers' needs and challenges through both customer research and data analysis. This will provide the foundation for you to create clear, compelling narratives and deliver simple but meaningful outcomes that bring real value to our customers, building an experience they truly love using.
