All underpinned by technology created with purpose.

As a User Experience Designer, you will be joining the growing and exciting Digital Factory community who are continually sharing knowledge and expertise. We are all passionate about user‑centred design, critical thinking, problem solving and designing and building digital services and products.

You will champion inclusive design practices throughout our project life cycles, ensuring solutions are accessible to as many users as possible. This includes engaging with diverse user research, applying accessibility guidelines and legislation, and advocating for inclusive design principles in your deliverables.

Working at Capgemini Invent would give you opportunities to develop and grow, working with major clients in both public and private sector. Our offices are in a variety of locations including London, Manchester and Glasgow. We offer hybrid working, however depending on your project you may have to travel to client locations.

• Use different techniques to identify and understand users and their needs, so that you can translate user stories and propose user‑focused, evidence‑based design approaches to meet these needs.
• Design accessible and impactful products and services for some of our public and private sector clients.
• Employ a wide range of skills, interviewing users, creating detailed plans, understanding and extrapolating data, facilitating workshops, presenting research findings and more.
• Visualise, articulate and solve complex problems and concepts, and make disciplined decisions based on available information and research evidence.
• Apply technical knowledge and experience to create or design interactive prototypes, both products and services.
• Understand and resolve design‑centric disputes across varying levels of complexity and risk.
• Lead and guide teams, setting the pace, ensuring teams are delivering.
• You can work in a fast‑paced, evolving environment and use an iterative method and flexible approach to enable rapid Agile delivery.
• Communicate effectively across organisational and technical boundaries, understanding the context and making complex and technical information simple and accessible for non‑technical audiences.

As part of your role you will also have the opportunity to contribute to the business and your own personal growth, through activities that form part of the following categories:

• Business Development – leading/contributing to proposals, RFPs, bids, proposition development, client pitch contribution, client hosting at events.
• Internal contribution – campaign development, internal think‑tanks, whitepapers, practice development (operations, recruitment, team events & activities), offering development.
• Learning & development – training to support your career development and the skills demand within the company, certifications, etc.

We’d love to meet someone with:

• Grounding in user‑centred design, from concept to final delivery. Knowledge of which tools, processes or methods to use and how to bring an agile delivery team along with you.
• Evidence of working with user‑centred design colleagues to synthesize insights and act on the outcomes.
• You already have SC (Security Check) Clearance.
• Experience working with Government Digital Service (GDS) service standards, using GDS design principles.
