UI/UX Designer

AND Introduction

At AND, we accelerate the development of digital capabilities. In practice, that means helping ambitious leaders and organisations build the teams, products, processes and even operational structures they need to close the digital skills gap within their organisation today, so that they thrive tomorrow.

Clients rely on our experience, agility and craft skills across tech and business strategy, software development and product management to address some of the toughest challenges facing their businesses.

We bring aboard thinkers, tinkerers, passionate software craftspeople and inspiring technologists to help us solve these challenges. Together, we’re united by a sense of pragmatism, purpose and a deeply-held belief that digital products and technology alone won’t transform a business or save the world: it’s the people that count.

About You

As a UI/UX Designer, you will help to deliver world class customer experiences for our clients, guiding them on best practice in visual design, user experience and design development, as well as delivering design outputs of your own. We’re interested in speaking to people across the UX and UI spectrum. 

Critical for us is your ability to take data and insight and turn it into great-looking, intuitive experiences. You should be able to demonstrate how you take that insight to define user needs, build out journeys and, ultimately turn that into processes, interfaces or prototypes that you then test and validate.

This is a client-facing role with a mix of advising, implementing and delivering, sometimes across multiple clients. You could be one of a team of designers, or leading the way as the design expert. You should be able to collaborate, and build trust, backing your designs with evidence, and communicating confidently with stakeholders across levels.

You will be an ambassador on user experience and visual design, supporting the creative direction and vision within our fast growing design function. You’ll have the chance to shape and deliver communication and training internally and on client. But you’ll also have the ability to grow your skill set, with opportunities to stretch into research, explore service design, dig into strategy and more.

Joining AND

From the work we deliver, to the way we serve and support our people, we work hard to ensure that there’s nowhere quite like AND. But joining a company is a two-way street: the fit has to work on both sides. So before you apply, here’s three key things to understand about us:

We’re built for people - like, real humans. Not ‘resources’ or ‘staff’. That means happiness and well-being really do matter to us, and we hate unnecessary hierarchy and bureaucracy.

• The ability to design based on data and insight
• The ability to work both independently and as part of a team
  

It’s helpful if you also have:

• Interest or experience in UX research
• Experience working with design systems
• Ability to flex between UX and UI if required is a plus
• Experience in native design

There’s no well-trodden path ahead: AND is growing fast and forging a new trail. That’s exciting, and gives us all the autonomy and opportunity we love - but bear in mind it also demands focus, patience and resilience.

Diversity is a priority. After all, to build great products that a wide variety of different people love to use, we need a wide variety of people to help us build them. So diversity is more than a policy or a word: it’s business critical for us.
