We’re looking for a senior user experience designer to join our growing global UXD practice at Springer Nature and work within a large programme of work that looks at internal legacy systems and processes in the business. The job is based in Lisbon and you will work remotely at times with colleagues in London (UK), Pune (India), Dordrecht (The Netherlands) and Berlin (Germany). Some travel will be required.
Overview
Springer Nature has a portfolio of over 3,000 peer-reviewed journals and books across all areas of science. The Content Acquisition (CA) programme you’ll be joining has been re-looking at the legacy systems and processes across our imprints and working on creating a world-class submissions experience for our global audience of academic researchers and editorial staff.
Within the CA programme sits the Peer Reviewing Experience team. This team will deliver solutions to make the peer reviewing experience fast, simple, convenient and rewarding for researchers who take time out of their day to review work of their peers, through a combination of efficient editorial workflows and finding forward-looking solutions for our reviewing researcher’s problems.
Working across the Springer Nature imprints, you will work closely with editorial and operational staff and the wider CA product, design and development team. Working closely with the rest of the team, you will help everyone to focus on the right problems to explore, then deliver solutions in innovative ways.
Why it matters
Ensuring a peer reviewing process of the highest standard is at the core of our publishing process and an indispensable key piece in the way we add value to our researchers who choose to publish their work with one of our journals.
How the team works
Working closely with the rest of the team, you will help everyone to focus on the right problems to explore, then deliver solutions in innovative ways. Day-to-day, we aim to keep design and development as lean as possible - working towards delivering through incremental experimentation and learning
