You’ll collaborate with our Marketing, Communications and Audiences teams, as well as teams from other Company divisions, sharing insights about how people are using digital products. And you’ll work closely with external suppliers, sharing information and best practice, and ultimately making sure audiences and the creative industry see us as an innovator in the ways of UX.

You’ll be highly experienced in user experience design, with a keen understanding of digital media and the role it can play in the future of the Company.
You’ll have exceptional communication, networking, influencing and persuading skills. And you’ll be able to gain respect with your credibility, integrity and professionalism.
You’ll think strategically and be able to evaluate decisions in the short, medium and long term.
You’ll have a proven track record of building and sustaining effective working relationships. And you’ll be able to get great results even when working with lots of stakeholders.
