UX Designer

Join Our Team at Hawk-Eye Innovations: UX Designer
Location: Basingstoke, Bristol, or London (Hybrid – 2 days in-office)
Salary: £37,420 – £53,460 per year

Hi, I’m Howard Gadsby, UX Lead at Hawk-Eye Innovations, and we’re looking for a UX Designer to join our growing team.

If you're passionate about intuitive interfaces, curious about how users think, and ready to get stuck into projects that shape the future of sport — this could be the role for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll join a multidisciplinary team working across a range of cutting-edge sports technologies — from umpiring tools and player tracking systems to live replay and tactical analysis software. No two days are the same, but your work will always have real impact.

Your day-to-day could include:

→ Mapping user journeys and pain points
→ Creating prototypes and UI mockups for complex workflows
→ Collaborating with UX researchers to run usability studies
→ Partnering with developers and product managers to build top-class experiences
→ Presenting your designs to stakeholders across the business
→ Contributing to and evolving our design system and component library
→ Mentoring a junior UX designer or researcher on the team

Your Accountabilities

As a UX Designer, you’ll be expected to:

→ Work closely within a multidisciplinary team, including stakeholders, operations, product, and developers
→ Collaborate with product managers and UX researchers to understand user needs, behaviours, and pain points
→ Understand work across multiple product streams, spotting common goals and design patterns
→ Contribute to team processes and occasionally lead regular UX meetings
→ Handle ambiguity in projects, uncover core user needs, and define clear pathways forward
→ Help maintain and evolve our shared design component library
→ Map user journeys and ensure designs directly address identified needs
→ Simplify complex workflows for non-technical users through clear design
→ Iterate on design ideas and prototypes to communicate product direction
→ Present design concepts and work confidently to stakeholders across the business
→ Support or lead usability testing in partnership with the UX research team
→ Collaborate closely with developers to bring your designs to life
→ Design towards usability benchmarks and monitor how we perform against them
→ Champion user needs in product discussions
→ Prioritise your workload effectively in a fast-paced and evolving environment

What We’re Looking For

Essential:

→ A university degree in UX, Interaction Design, HCI, or a related field
→ At least 3 years of commercial experience in UX, product, or interaction design roles
→ A portfolio showing thoughtful, user-focused design on complex applications (not just mobile)
→ Experience conducting usability testing and applying insights to your work
→ Strong communication and collaboration skills
→ Comfortable working across multiple streams and juggling priorities
→ An analytical mindset and high attention to detail
→ Knowledge and experience of creating and using design systems
→ Familiarity with tools like Figma, Axure, or Adobe Creative Suite
→ Understanding of front-end technologies and how designs are implemented

Bonus Points For:

→ Experience in sport, broadcasting, or live event software
→ Speaking a second language beyond English

Reward, Benefits, and Wellness

We offer a comprehensive package to support your growth and wellbeing.

UK Benefits:

→ 25 days of annual leave (plus bank holidays)
→ Enhanced pension scheme with 5% matching
→ Flexible hybrid working (2 days in-office)
→ Optional private healthcare
→ Complimentary Unmind app for mental health support
→ Onsite gym at Basingstoke HQ
→ Access to sporting events and tickets
→ Sony Group company discounts
