Description
The Team:
We are responsible for creating meaningful, engaging, beautiful experiences that create emotional connections with our customers. We work hard to understand user needs, champion them and protect them throughout the product design process. We have two teams - one in London and one in Porto and work in clusters across our suite of products including web, mobile and instore.
We’re ambassadors for the business, pushing the boundaries of what's technologically possible, and creating most of the platforms that we use from scratch. We like to apply a bit of revolutionary thinking to everything we do.
The Role:
You will be a creative thinker and technical problem solver who is excited to design the internal tools that solve our unique business needs. This can range from creating an interface for our boutiques to process the orders they receive, to a tool that controls the pricing of their products.

You have formal design training and take pride in creating, evolving and protecting the interactions and patterns that allow us to scale our platform.

Each of our designers is expected to own their work – to put forward how they intend to discover, explore, test and adapt. Join the team that’s making a difference every day to an exciting platform.

• Work collaboratively within an Agile process with; other product designers, product owners, project managers, UI and developer.
• Create solutions that incorporate all of the elements of a great experience while being within style guidelines to meet brand objectives
• Define and communicate the UX direction using appropriate tools and deliverables to describe intent.
• Champion user experience and advocate the best design for our end users.
• Bring inspiring ideas and motivation to an energetic and collaborative team.
