Senior Product Designer, Defence

Improbable Defence’s product group exists to build products which enable governments to use synthetic environments to plan and train. The Product group manages a portfolio of valuable product-based offerings through the lifecycle. Our team works as part of the broader Product team and enables our customers to harness the power of our technology, focusing our capabilities to bring them and their user's unquestionable value, delivered through intuitive and insightful interfaces.

You will join a well-established, agile Product team as an embedded Designer, working on evolving our Digital Twin capability as part of a customer-facing solution(s). You will play a vital team role, contributing and influencing how we design, test and iterate to deliver meaningful user experiences.

Digital twins are real-time representations of systems or networks. They aim to enhance existing capabilities, for example by improving visualisation and enabling experimentation, to support holistic planning and optimised decision-making. We build synthetic environment digital twins that allow users to understand how to design and manage their assets optimally.

Due to the nature of this role, you will be expected to meet requirements associated with obtaining UK security vetting clearance; including an unbroken residency in the UK for the previous 5 years. If you think that this might be an issue for you, please let us know.

We'd like to hear from you if you identify with the following:

• You have experience and demonstrable expertise in engaging and influencing customers and stakeholders to achieve optimal, user-centred outcomes.
• You are fluent in modern product design approaches and foundational interaction design principles and patterns.

While we think the above experience could be important, we’re keen to hear from people that believe they have valuable experience to bring to the role. If you identify with the team and mission, but not all of our requirements, then please still apply.

This role is hybrid so partly in-office and partly remote. We are located in London, with some travel required to customer and user locations. Flexibility will also be required so that you can join in-office team activities when required.
