The Telegraph are looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our award winning in-house Product Design team.

It’s an exciting opportunity to work on and influence reader experiences across our subscription product. You’ll be working on everything from paywalls and checkouts to bespoke engagement features, churn strategies and editorial campaigns. You’ll play a key role in the future of how The Telegraph communicates with its readers across our platforms using new and pre-existing technologies, utilising user research, data insights and testing to develop and optimise them.

You’ll be joining a friendly and empowered multidisciplinary team of designers and developers where experimentation and learning is encouraged. Day to day you’ll be working with Editorial, Subscriptions, Research, Product and Technology stakeholders to drive positive change to our reader experiences whilst also working towards our business goal of reaching 1 millions subscribers by 2023.

We’re looking for a hands-on designer with a keen eye for detail and a solid graphics background. You won’t be afraid to challenge a brief and will strive to constantly find ways to evolve and iterate our experiences. Data and research are our secret weapons and you won’t be afraid to dig into the numbers, heatmaps or conduct research to get to the bottom of a problem. You’ll know failures are as important as successes and be able to build upon your learnings. Confident in presenting concepts to the design team and wider stakeholders, you’ll be capable of acting on feedback and knowing when to prioritise user experience over business goals and vice versa.

You will map out experiences through user journeys and flows to establish ideas.
You’ll continuously improve your designs, working with our in-house user research and data teams to gain deeper understanding of how your designs are working.

Facilitate workshops with business owners, stakeholders and collaborators, capturing requirements and documenting outcomes.

Be a motivated team player, ambitious in your thinking and brave in your designs, with the ability to perform well under pressure.
