About Cazoo

Cazoo was founded in 2018 to transform the way people buy used cars

We believe everyone deserves to feel total confidence when buying a car. That’s why we’re building a new service which is simple, transparent and doesn’t end when you buy the car. Our vision is to deliver the UK’s best car buying experience by putting the customer first and making it no different from buying any other product online today.

We are backed by leading investors and led by an experienced management team including Founder and CEO, Alex Chesterman OBE.

How we design at Cazoo

Design at Cazoo has a lot of influence and responsibility to create an amazing customer experience. Each of us is obsessed with quality, impact, and driving fast to get the right results. We're big on moving intentionally, responding to our customers, and innovating to meet needs they have when it comes to buying a new car.

We strive to learn and understand our users’ needs, behaviors, and emotions to gather insights that inform product strategy and design. At Cazoo, design is part of balanced teams, and you'll work directly in a product squad.

You will be supported by a broader organization that's obsessed with quality and making it right, including two researchers, other designers, and an amazing co-located dev team in Central London. You will work closely with the Head of CRM, and report to the Head of UX. We offer flexible working on a per-team basis, and great benefits.

About You:

You're a frequent learner, and you love feedback on your designs, from stakeholders and customers. You use data to inform how your designs change over time, and you're familiar with multi-variate testing. You keep current with your practice and are proactive about learning the latest tools (Sketch, Figma, Invision, etc.). No job is too small, and you can execute at all levels of design to create the right customer outcomes.

• You're focused on the big picture objectives, and want to help the team succeed across multiple objectives more than winning an argument.
• You can roll with the punches and pivot when we learn new things about the problem we're working on.
• You can deliver design across any stage of the product lifecycle, from idea sketching and lo-fi prototypes, to high fidelity design, you're very comfortable with all of it.
• Rapidly produce multiple concepts and prototypes; knowing when to apply pixel-perfect attention to detail, and when to make low-fi sketches and prototypes
• You can demonstrate a working knowledge of product design in a software team, including how you handle dev constraints, regulatory and other challenges, and stakeholder feedback.
• You're obsessed with quality and a strong advocate for a great experience, and you inform your ideas of quality with frequent research
