Tell me more… 👀 

Softwire is a leading digital software consultancy. They offer services in software engineering, design, innovation, cloud, mobile and data.

Trusted by well-known organisations, including the BBC, David Lloyd Clubs, LNER and The Cabinet Office, Softwire has grown into a business that consistently delivers large, high-profile digital projects for the UK’s leading brands.

They are looking for an experienced UX Lead to join their Design team and asks questions of them, their processes, and their clients. The key is someone who can ask the right questions at the right time.

Questions like ‘Why is this a problem?’ and ‘Why does it need solving?’.

Questions like ‘How do we get people to collaborate better?’ and “Is this really the best way of explaining our approach?”. Questions about work itself, questions about creating the conditions that enable them to produce the best work of their careers, help them grow and flourish as individuals, as a team and as a company.

They value colleagues who have learned as much from failures as from successes and are humble enough to share their learnings without reservations. People who think deeply and have a point of view on everything from workshops to prototypes to work-life balance but are also able to listen to and encourage others to make their own contributions. While growing with them, you will have a strong opportunity to craft your future role in the team.

Their design team is a wonderful mix of researchers, UI, UX and service designers working together with developers to create unique experiences that solve people’s real problems. This is a fast-expanding team within a more established agency, where you’d have the rare opportunity to follow your work across both design diamonds. Unlike most agencies, they don’t just focus on innovation, proof-of-concept and early-stage engagements, they also have the cross functional teams to deliver the amazing experiences they conceive. They work very closely with their clients in intense, user-focused, prototype driven sprints, that grow into long-term relationships.

They don’t just design. They have impact.

So here’s another question – does this sound like you?

Do I fit the bill? 🕵️

Experience and qualifications

The exciting bits!

Additional benefits

What’s the culture like?

“We’re innovators. We’re passionate problem-solvers in both software engineering and digital design. We are dedicated. And we love what we do.

It all started when our founders Pete, Dan, and Phil realised that there was a better way to do things. A way that delivers results without squeezing the fun out of what we do. A way that is never corporate, but always professional.

When you work with Softwire, you’re not only becoming part of a team with in-depth technical skills and delivery expertise – you’re joining a team filled with passion, guile, and an absolute dedication to producing the best work possible.

Voted in the Sunday Times as one of the Top 100 Companies to Work For (now known as Best Companies), you’ll be working in a thriving environment full of innovation, devotion, and outright electricity.”

What we stand for

Here at Softwire, we hold four key values at the core of everything we do:

When we say we care, we honestly mean it. Our work is our passion, and eve-rything that comes through our doors is treated with the utmost respect and with the same level of care that we’d treat our own work. Because honestly – we really do care.

We’re not micromanagers. We place a level of trust in each member of our team to work their hardest and produce the best they can achieve. This is an innovative but fun place to work – and we trust that you’ll meet our standards.

Clients come to us with complex, exciting, but often challenging projects. And we are the friendly face that will help them reach their goals – and be with them for the long run. Our team is open, accepting, and always ready to accept new ideas. Because after all, in a world where being kind is free – why be anything but?

When you’re working at the forefront of technology, every day is different. And in this fast-paced environment, we realise that work isn’t always going to be fun. Some days can be stressful, but despite this, we know the importance of enjoying ourselves. Because at the end of the day, we spend a lot of time at work – so we might as well have fun while we’re there.”
