Product Designer, UK

Job Description

We’re on a mission to create a diverse group of future leaders. We do that through professional apprenticeships because we believe learning on-the-job creates a more equitable and successful path to careers. We find, train and support talented individuals, wherever they are in their career journey, and equip them with the in-demand tech, software engineering, and data skills to transform their careers and deliver a better route to growth for their employers.

We’ve had some big achievements. We hit 10,000 apprentices in our community - and counting. We launched one of the largest data apprenticeship programs in the UK with Jaguar Land Rover, and we’ve partnered with companies like Mars, Verizon and CitiBank. Not to forget becoming a mission-driven EdTech unicorn after our $220m Series D.

But we aren’t stopping here. Join Multiverse and build the future of learning at work.

We are Multiverse, a tech scaleup with a social mission. We’re creating a diverse group of future leaders by building an outstanding alternative to university and corporate training, through the power of professional apprenticeships.

We’re one of the fastest-growing businesses in Europe and rapidly expanding in North America, working with over 500 clients including Facebook, KPMG, Morgan Stanley and the NHS. In June 2022, we broke the EdTech funding record (again!) by announcing our $220m Series D, making Multiverse the UK’s first ever EdTech unicorn.

Join us on our journey to democratising access to the best careers and learning opportunities.

The Opportunity:

We need an exceptional Product Designer to contribute to the future direction of our Multiverse product to ensure we are continually challenging who gets access to the best careers. You’ll be working with peers in Engineering, Product, and User Research to build new products and features for our apprentices and the client companies who host them.

No two days at Multiverse are the same, so we need someone who is comfortable with the unknown unknowns. On top of that, we’re looking for an all rounder who starts with the problem, takes time to understand their users, and who gets into the details designing solutions that work well and spark joy for internal and external users of our product.

If you are inquisitive about the ‘why’ we do things, you live to prove and disprove hypotheses and you’re keen to work in a fast-paced, exciting environment, we’d love for you to join us during this exciting growth phase.

Specifically, you will:

• design products and features that are world-class

• develop a deep understanding of the needs of our users

• create click-dummy prototypes to evaluate ideas

• conduct and be involved in concept and usability testing with user researchers

• communicate and collaborate with product managers and engineers

• contribute to a growing Design System and design process

• stay aware of competitor product and industry trends
  

About You:

• have an understanding of UX principles and methodologies

• have proven experience as a Product Designer, UX designer or similar with a strong portfolio of design projects

• are familiar with interaction design and information architecture

• are able to prioritise your time efficiently

• work effectively in a collaborative environment and are comfortable with the nature of change within a growing organisation

• are proficient in design software (we’re using Figma)

• are able to move between focussing on design and research with support

Benefits

• Time off - 27 days holiday, plus 7 additional days off: 1 life event day, 2 volunteer days and 4 company-wide wellbeing days

• Health & wellbeing - private medical Insurance with Bupa, a medical cashback scheme, life insurance, and access to Spill - all in one mental health support

• Hybrid & remote working - weekly or monthly visits to the London office

• You have the opportunity to share in the business’ success (depending on your level)

• Team fun - weekly socials and regular offsite events
