Job Description
Are you an experienced UX leader who wants to shape digital experiences that make a genuine difference to people’s lives?
UWE Bristol is looking for an experienced UX Lead to help us design clearer, more accessible and more effective digital journeys across our digital products, platforms and services. This is a strategic, hands-on role for someone who can combine user research, service design, accessibility, analytics and stakeholder influence to improve experiences for prospective students, applicants, students, staff and wider audiences.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead user-centred design in a large, ambitious university with a strong commitment to inclusion, innovation and continuous improvement.
As UX Lead, you will play a key role in shaping the future of UWE Bristol’s digital experience. Working across Student Recruitment and Marketing, digital, content, design, development and wider university teams, you will help us understand our users, improve complex journeys and design experiences that are intuitive, accessible and effective.
You will lead UX research, experience design and service design activity across our websites, platforms and digital services. You will use insight, analytics, user testing and stakeholder engagement to identify what needs to improve, then turn that understanding into clear recommendations, prototypes, journey maps, design principles and practical improvements.
This is not just a delivery role. It is a leadership role for someone who can connect user needs with organisational priorities, influence decisions, bring people together and champion evidence-led design across a complex environment.
You will be joining a cross-functional team that already works across digital marketing, analytics, platform development and personalised digital experiences, with a clear appetite for testing, learning and improving.
