Product & UX Designer Placement

We are looking for a highly motivated individual who loves designing products and is driven by the desire to create great user experiences. The user is at the core of our design and decision-making process, so you'll need to love creating products as much as we do!

• Test prototypes on users and record observations
• Collate feedback, present it to the rest of the team, and use this information to make improvements
• Create beautiful mockups, graphics and iconography
• Help swarm on team tasks when needed

You'll have:

• A love for all things 'design'
• An empathetic attitude that puts the user first
• An analytical mind that can search for and solve weaknesses in a design
• Experience in some form of a vector graphics package, like Sketch or Illustrator
• Some experience in design, whether that's designing products, apps, websites or graphics
• Some experience making wireframes or interactive prototypes
• Experience building something among a team of people

About Us

Doing a 12-month placement at Focusrite is like becoming one of the family. A rapidly growing, global family. We’re focused on providing opportunities for everyone and anyone to enjoy creating music.

Our placements are very popular, and that’s mainly because you can really get stuck in during your year with us. We don’t ask you to answer the phones and do the photocopying. We want you to help develop our products, market our brands, speak to our customers and make us better. A lot of our previous placements are now full-time employees.

All placements last for 12-months. We pay you £16.5k per year (£17.5k in London), and you get to share in some of the same benefits as our permanent employees; an employee purchase scheme, free breakfast and lunch, health insurance, generous holiday entitlement, company music events, lunch and learns from across the business and external visits – we’re all about innovation, fresh thinking and creating awesome music making experiences for our customers.

Our four brands, Focusrite, Focusrite Pro, Novation and Ampify, come together around a common mission to remove barriers to creativity.

Focusrite is The Interface Company. That’s what it does. More people record and listen to their productions through Focusrite than any other interface brand. The Focusrite Pro division has been created as a distinct group, focused on serving the unique needs of commercial operations.

From the ubiquitous Launchpad 8 x 8 grid behind over a billion YouTube views, to the synthesisers behind a constantly evolving new musical landscape, Novation plays a huge part in shaping the music and art of tomorrow.

Born out of Novation and based in Tileyard, Kings Cross, Ampify holds true to our fundamental purpose, creating cool music-making software that brings the life-enriching experience of music making to a larger audience than ever before.

We work hard. We are professional. And we play hard too. We select really, really talented and passionate people. And we absolutely love our work. So if you think you can bring something new to the mix, we look forward to hearing from you.
