UX Research – Digital | Inclusive Jobs

We are seeking a talented Digital UX Researcher (Web & App) to join our Digital Go-To-Market team at E.ON Next. This is a 12-month fixed-term contract, based in London with hybrid working, reporting to the Product Design Lead. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our digital experiences, ensuring every design decision is informed by rich, user-centred insights.

This role is perfect for a midweight to senior researcher who thrives in fast-moving, start-up-like environments. We’re looking for someone self-motivated, hands-on and adaptable, with the ability to turn user research into actionable insights that directly influence product design and strategy. Experience in utilities or service-based sectors is a plus, but your agility, curiosity and ability to work across teams are what will make you shine.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll be doing:

Plan, execute and iterate UX research across web and app platforms, using qualitative and quantitative methods such as interviews, usability studies, surveys, contextual inquiries and A/B tests
Analyse research data and synthesise findings into actionable insights that inform product and design decisions
Facilitate user testing sessions, in-depth interviews and internal workshops to deeply understand user needs and behaviours
Collaborate closely with designers, product managers and engineers to integrate research findings seamlessly into product development
Maintain and refine user personas, journey maps and other research artefacts to guide design strategy
Contribute to prototyping efforts, applying research insights to improve UX and UI experiences
Monitor market trends, competitor activities and emerging UX practices to inform research approaches and recommendations
Engage in agile/scrum processes, providing timely research inputs and updates to guide product development

Are we the perfect match?

Proven experience in UX research, ideally in fast-paced or start-up environments
Demonstrable ability to manage end-to-end research projects independently
Strong portfolio showcasing actionable insights and impactful recommendations
Excellent communication and influencing skills to present research findings to stakeholders
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field, complemented by hands-on experience
Comfortable working across multiple teams and balancing competing priorities

It would be great if you had:

Experience in utility, service-based, or regulated industries
Familiarity with both qualitative and quantitative research methods and tools
Experience contributing to product strategy and design workshops
Knowledge of accessibility standards and inclusive design principles
Confidence in working with prototyping tools and integrating research into iterative design processes
