UX Designer

At Ohme we’re on a mission to make the global transition to green energy faster, easier and more affordable. Our intelligent electric vehicle charger, mobile app and web platform are already helping many customers save money and manage their energy smarter.

Now is an exciting time to join the Ohme team - the coming 10 years will bring huge changes in energy and transport, and with our integrated technology, robust data and strong partnerships, Ohme is set to be at the heart of this. Our vision goes well beyond electric vehicles - Ohme’s products could help shape the future of energy management not just for individual consumers but for the whole UK grid, and beyond.

We are looking for a UX Designer to join us on the next stage of our growth journey. Working closely with the product team, you’ll play a leading role in the end-to-end design of our digital products, coordinating user research and creatively solving user problems.

You will help us take Ohme’s UX to the next level through the development of user research activities, design systems and processes. You will be responsible for making sure all design output is not only beautiful but well researched, easy-to-use and delivers a consistent user experience.
