Reporting to the Group Director - Digital, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality services aligned with NOCN's strategic objectives., * Plan and run discovery and evaluative research - interviews, usability testing, surveys and contextual enquiry - throughout the product lifecycle. * Apply design thinking to frame the right problems: turning research into actionable insight, personas, journey maps and clearly prioritised opportunities before jumping to solutions. * Facilitate the team's thinking - workshops, sketching, service mapping - so the whole team designs with users, not just the designer. * Design wireframes, prototypes and interaction flows in Figma at pace, so ideas can be tested with real users within days. * Use AI tooling to accelerate research synthesis, ideation and even the shaping of UX plans - applying human judgement to the outputs. * Work in continuous discovery with developers and data colleagues to move seamlessly from validated design into working software. * Champion accessibility (WCAG) and inclusive, user-centred design across everything we build. * Establish and grow a shared design language and reusable pattern library as our design maturity develops. * Help set the direction for design and research at NOCN and raise the bar for how the whole team works with users. ## Related Videos - [The What, Why, Who and How of accessibility on the web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/403-the-what-why-who-and-how-of-accessibility-on-the-web) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [Designing for Every Direction: Logical CSS for Global, Adaptive, and Effortlessly Reversible UIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2026-designing-for-every-direction-logical-css-for-global-adaptive-and-effortlessly-reversible-uis) - [UX is a fullstack job!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1020-ux-is-a-fullstack-job) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Gaps in CSS, EU Accessibility Act and more!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1314-wearedevelopers-live-gaps-in-css-eu-accessibility-act-and-more) - [Decoding web accessibility through audit](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/507-decoding-web-accessibility-through-audit) ## Related Articles - [The future is here: How artificial intelligence is influencing UX design](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/65-the-future-is-here-how-artificial-intelligence-is-influencing-ux-design) - [How Developers Can Focus on Maintaining Satisfaction With Accessibility](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/109-how-developers-can-focus-on-maintaining-satisfaction-with-accessibility) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [Top 5 Web Design Trends for 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/155-top-5-web-design-trends-for-2023) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025)
