MMT Digital Hiring for UX DESIGNER STUDENT PLACEMENT Job at London, England , UK Full Time

Our Placement Programme

At MMT we have an exciting future ahead of us and we want to share that with you through our placement programme and we offer students the opportunity to grow and learn with us across a number of placement positions

We are proud of our placement programme and rightly so as over the last 20 years we have seen this grow and develop and many students who have been through placements with us have returned to us after graduation, kickstarting their careers in their chosen field in a Digital Transformation Agency, working alongside some of our global partners such as Vodafone, BP and Virgin Atlantic.

Our Finance Director and Chief Technology Officer, both started at MMT as placement students – when we say we take your career seriously we mean it! In addition to learning on the job, we have a dedicated placement student programme run by our experienced L&D team who will help you thrive not just in the technical aspects of your role, but by immersing you in the world of business, your own personal brand and providing a number of socialisation days to help you thrive in your career.

As a small company with a large reach you will get hands on exposure with our senior leaders, access to dedicated and tailored Learning & Development to support you throughout the year and an opportunity to come together with your placement cohort on a regular basis to learn from each other. As part of MSQ partners (an international group of creative agencies) if you are in our London Office (which is opposite the Royal Opera House, right in Covent Garden) you will also be working alongside these partner agencies. Did we mention that we also have a free bar in London on a Thursday to say thank you to all our staff?

If you are looking for a placement opportunity that could kick start your career, give you responsibility from day one and one that provides an exciting learning opportunity and are motivated, aspirational with the aptitude to succeed then we’d love to hear from you.

Depending on the role, you will be based out of our Uppingham Office in the Midlands, our Leeds Office in the North, or our London Office but you will need to on occasion travel to other offices when you are not working from home. Students should be able to get themselves to our offices.

Please note you must currently hold valid UK Right to Work documentation in order to take up this position and be a student in your placement year. We are interviewing on a rolling basis so please do apply at your earliest opportunity.

The Opportunity

We are looking for forward thinking people to help us create amazing things! That’s why we’re recruiting for this UX Designer Placement role, which is designed for a university student looking for a year in industry as part of their degree.

You will be working within the Experience Design Team, designing new features on real projects for some huge clients of ours.

You will learn about our user-centred design process and how to practice ‘design thinking’ to help clients solve problems and deliver products and services that delight their customers and help them achieve their goals.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work alongside some of the industry’s best designers and developers on some great projects. No two days are the same – our client list is wide and diverse – and we will ensure that you are on the front line, interacting directly with them.

In order to flourish in this role, you’ll need the following:

• Studying for a design-related degree

• Keen to develop your design thinking and problem-solving skills

• Ability to demonstrate how you approach design projects

• Be a confident and articulate communicator

• Ability to understand the importance of involving users in the design process

• Passion for the broader field of design

It would also be great (but not essential) if you have:

• Experience in user research and analytics – to learn about user’s behaviour, goals, motivations and needs

• An understanding of user journey mapping and information architecture – to describe routes through products and define the best structure, language and labelling

• Experience in prototyping & wireframing – to describe the features, functionality and usability of products

• An interest in visual and interaction design – to bring prototypes to life and build engagement and delight with users

These skills are not a prerequisite, the role will help you learn and develop those areas.

We are looking for someone that will embrace this opportunity, be keen to learn from experienced industry professionals, and in return we will set them up for success in their future design career.

These values influence our ways of working, how we treat each other, and how we engage with our clients. They also guide and shape our behaviours and mean we are clear about what we stand for.

Here at MMT, we care about the people that work with us, and we reflect this in our benefits package, so in addition to a good salary and a starting holiday allowance of 25 days (that rises with service) you will also work in an environment that supports and celebrates your contribution, invests in your learning and development and supports your wellbeing through a number of initiatives. We are also a social bunch with a number of events that take place throughout the year as well as quarterly company updates and get togethers.

That means working together to create a culture where everyone can thrive and succeed; striving towards no pay gender gap, increasing ethnic and gender diversity at all levels of our company, training our people in areas that promote minority, racial and gender equity, and ensuring the diversity and inclusivity of our work product.
