Description

Our journey:

At Shell Energy, we believe that home energy matters.

Our home energy business was born out of Shell's acquisition of First Utility in 2018.

As an original challenger to the big energy suppliers, First Utility had a heritage of supplying great value energy and broadband to customers.

Shell Energy supplies 100% renewable electricity, as well as gas, smart home technology and broadband, to British homes.


Who you'll work with:


We're ambitious with a pace to match, and as part of one of the world's largest companies, the opportunity and ability to push forward is greater than ever before.

We foster a culture of continuous improvement. Accountability matters, which means enabling transformation through autonomy to influence and see progress through.


Every day we work to provide an environment where all employees feel valued and included, and are able to nurture their talent as individuals and as part of a collaborative team.


Your part in our journey:


Working as part of a digital product team, you'll be tasked with helping senior designers to create brilliantly simple, innovative and intuitive digital experiences that blend effortlessly with our customers' lives.

The energy market is evolving quickly, and we want to stand-out in a crowd.

Consistency is really important, so not only will you need to know what a good user experience looks like, you'll also need to have a great eye for detail.


Your part in the team:


You'll be collaborating closely with senior designers to take insights from customer research, ethnographics, analytics and MVT testing to continually improve the commercial performance of the site and delight our customers.

This is a great opportunity for a junior level UX designer to learn from a supportive team and expand your knowledge and experience within the industry.


You'll be developing new ideas for our customer journeys, breaking down the traditional barriers and challenging the norms of the energy industry.

You'll iterate and refine these ideas through sketching and wireframing before working on brilliantly intuitive designs that show what our customers will see.


What you'll need to help you make the best of the role:
A good understanding of UX design and the tools involved

Proficient in wire-framing and comfortable producing concept sketches and user flows

A passion for UX

A portfolio which demonstrates good thought processes and problem solving

Experience with mobile and responsive design is highly desirable

Strong communication skills


The nice to haves:

Some experience of user research and usability testing

Visual design skills

Experience of working in an agile environment

Energy industry experience
