Backed by Nestlé and loved by hundreds of thousands of home cooks across the UK, we're scaling fast and looking for exceptional talent to help us grow.

We're looking for an experienced Product Designer to join one of our cross-functional product squads. This is a great opportunity to play a leading role in how our customers use and enjoy our product.

Your mission

Lead on our digital design. This includes contributing to the future vision for this area, making sure our users have a cohesive and consistent experience across the whole platform.
Work as part of a cross-functional product squad. You’ll be responsible for the creation and user testing of all designs; from initial discovery and user journey mapping through to the final UI details.
Be an expert on our users. Regularly speaking and interacting with our passionate users, you'll learn about their needs, pain points and habits, ensuring everything we do addresses an opportunity to improve their experience.
Collaborate using strong communication, documentation and facilitation skills. You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Developers, Data Analysts and other Product Designers to make sure their input is leveraged throughout the design process.
Advocate for and implement intuitive and accessible user experiences. You'll take a pragmatic approach to balancing the ideal user experience with technical constraints, delivery strategy and business risk.
Help improve how design operates at SimplyCook. We're a small but fast-growing team where design is a key role in every cross-functional squad. You'll contribute to improving our design team as a whole.

About us

At SimplyCook we want to get Britain cooking! Despite our nation’s love of food, constant cooking shows on TV and a few too many celebrity chefs, most of us only have 6 meals or less in our repertoire. We want to change that by making cooking a simple and hassle free process without meaning bland and boring!

We want to achieve 3 things:

- We love flavour – we want your dinners to taste amazing.

- We want to save you money – our short shopping lists mean you don’t have to spend on 20 ingredients to cook a tasty new recipe and our meals work out between £2 and £6 per person in total.

- We want you to be in control – you can use our kits when you want, our recipes take around 20mins, and the items you have to add are easily accessible.

SimplyCook boxes contains 4 easy to follow recipes and 4 ingredient kits. Each kit is designed to provide perfect taste containing ingredient blends devised by professional chefs.
