Description

Closing Date: 04-Dec-2024

We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That’s waiting for you at Sainsbury’s. Think about the scale it takes for us to feed the nation. The level of data, transactions and variety it involves. Then you’ll realise that ours is a modern software engineering environment because it has to be. We’ve made serious investment into a Tech Academy and into setting standards and principles. We iterate, learn, experiment and push ways of working such as Agile, Scrum and XP. So you can look forward to awesome opportunities in everything from AI to reusable tech.

At Sainsbury’s we believe that the customer should be at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is to create the easiest, most enjoyable experiences that better serve our customers’ ever-changing needs. We work across a range of services, products, touch points and tools to deliver distinctive, integrated, and consistent experiences for our customers and colleagues across Sainsbury’s Group (which includes Sainsbury’s Food, Argos, Nectar, Tu and Habitat).
We drive brilliant experiences across all our brands in-store and online, operating in agile teams and squads, working seamlessly with teams right across the business to make the most of the exceptional knowledge, insight, and talent we have.
The role:
With more than 18 million customers, Nectar is the UK's largest loyalty scheme, but there's more to it than points and Nectar Prices. We also work with hundreds of partners across retail, travel and more, that includes some of the UK's favourite brands, such as Argos and BA to offer our customers real value.
This is an exciting role in the Customer Loyalty team, designing experiences for our marketing campaigns and supporting our evolving design system

You’ll also bring your eye for detail and visual expertise to influence and align the Nectar experience across platforms along with the Design System for a consistent, beautifully crafted customer experience.
As an Experience Designer, you will be responsible for understanding how our customers shop with us, what value and loyalty means to them and what their pain points are. You will have access to research and insights and work closely with our Loyalty product, engineering and Marketing teams. You will take those customers pain points and the business needs and design solutions that support customer’s needs.
You will be working within a team of experienced product managers and engineers alongside stakeholders from other parts of the operation who will rely on your knowledge of user experience, accessibility, and interaction design.

  • Interact with stakeholders from across the group to share insights and ideas.
  • Work with the content strategists and accessibility specialist to design the best experience for all our customers and colleagues.
  • Design and test concepts and solutions, working with our researchers and journey managers to understand the customer journeys and customer pain points.
  • Be part of an exciting design community, pairing up with other designers and sharing ideas to constantly iterate the customer experience.
