About the role

As UX Lead, you will play a key role in shaping the future of UWE Bristol’s digital experience. Working across Student Recruitment and Marketing, digital, content, design, development and wider university teams, you will help us understand our users, improve complex journeys and design experiences that are intuitive, accessible and effective.

You will lead UX research, experience design and service design activity across our websites, platforms and digital services. You will use insight, analytics, user testing and stakeholder engagement to identify what needs to improve, then turn that understanding into clear recommendations, prototypes, journey maps, design principles and practical improvements.

This is not just a delivery role. It is a leadership role for someone who can connect user needs with organisational priorities, influence decisions, bring people together and champion evidence-led design across a complex environment.

You will be joining a cross-functional team that already works across digital marketing, analytics, platform development and personalised digital experiences, with a clear appetite for testing, learning and improving.

Where you will be working

UWE Bristol is a campus-based University, with vibrant campus communities that are central to student life.

In this role, you’ll be based at our modern Frenchay Campus where we’ve invested in state-of-the-art facilities designed to help both staff and students succeed.

You’ll spend most of your time on campus, although there may be the opportunity to work from home with agreement from your people manager.

Add your individuality to ours

UWE Bristol recognises the power of a truly diverse university community.

We’re part of a vibrant, multicultural city and welcome talented people from all backgrounds. Diversity is our strength, enhancing creativity, decision‑making, and problem‑solving. Join our supportive community and thrive.
