Description

At RVU we combine the close-knit and agile environment of a startup, with the know-how, technology and backing of a well-established company.
Our mission is to empower people to make confident decisions. With our unique set of brands, including Uswitch, Confused.com, Tempcover and Money.co.uk, we have the power to reach millions of consumers and the technology to deliver a world class online experience for them.
About Money.co.uk:
Money.co.uk exists to help consumers make more informed financial decisions. Our free, online comparison service allows consumers to compare financial products, from credit cards to savings accounts, loans to travel money. We want our users to feel reassured that we're on their side when it comes to their finances.
About the role:
As a mid-level Product Designer, your role is to meet the diverse needs of our users by making sure that they have the best experience across our products. You will work closely with engineers, product experts and the wider multidisciplinary team to craft end-to-end journeys that help customers achieve their goals — from finding the right savings product, to setting up their new business.
You’ll be working through design problems from start to finish, translating research, analytics and business insights into ideas that become new products and features, as well as designing detailed user journeys and the interactions needed to make them viable.
What you will be doing:
  • Designing and ideating through sketching, creating prototypes and creating high quality mockups, and knowing how to best test and validate your designs through user research and product testing
  • Using your inquisitive mind to solve problems and challenges in order to develop simple and usable products. Working at a dynamic pace across multiple projects whilst ensuring high quality of your work
  • Working closely within a multidisciplinary team of engineers, product managers and analysts, whilst enabling and empowering the wider team through knowledge sharing and strong documentation
  • Contributing best practices to our style guides, design patterns and design system
  • Contributing to and leading workshops with stakeholders from various functions
What we’re looking for:
  • Solid working knowledge of end-to-end design processes for user-centred design and how to tailor this for various audiences, including those with accessibility needs
  • Good understanding of how to design appropriate tests to guide design and product strategy, based on analytics and insights
  • Strong in Figma, including using and feeding into design systems, utilising features such as auto-layout and variables to facilitate rapid prototyping and multi-brand design thinking
  • Strong all-round product design, user-centred design and accessibility technical skills with an good understanding of designing consumer journeys and prototypes
  • Confident at communicating the design thinking and breadth of considerations behind your work and knowing how to engage stakeholders at all levels, in particular by designing and running workshops to facilitate knowledge extraction and collaborative ideation
  • A collaborative working style, strong interpersonal skills and an ability to work well in small group settings as well as independently
A flavour of what the team have done this year:
  • Rethinking and redesigning our SEO pages and journeys from the ground up with a focus on user-centricity - bringing usability and accessibility to the forefront
  • Further building out our multi-brand design system, as we expand our financial products to Confused.com (on top of Uswitch.com and Money.co.uk)
  • Using product-centric design processes to reevaluate our PPC journeys and products, creating tangible benefits for customers and the business alike
Our commitment to you:
At RVU, we are dedicated to developing valuable, inclusive, and user-friendly products and services that deliver positive outcomes for all of our customers. To achieve this it’s essential that our teams reflect the diverse range of people in our community. We believe in being the change we wish to see in the world, by embracing our differences and holding ourselves accountable to being open and inclusive teammates and wider community members.
