UX Designer - [022668]

As a UX designer you will work as part of the design team in close collaboration with the Sports Product and Development teams to deliver best-in-class digital products to our customers. You will work closely with the team lead to help develop and manage the more junior team members and their work.

With a strong understanding of UX practices and methodologies, you are an end-user advocate who produces experiences that engage even the most discerning audiences. You are a research and data enthusiast who consumes large amounts of information and distils it into simple, yet engaging, and useful products and services to serve a wide variety of experiences. Think research, testing, wireframes, and prototypes.

• Provide support to and manage more junior staff in their duties, and help nurture their understanding of our products, processes, tools, and techniques
• Conduct user research, test and study usage, alongside reviewing and prioritising user and product requirements
• Develop sketches, wireframes, prototypes, and designs that succinctly illustrate user journeys, content structure, hierarchy, and navigation
