Head of Design

Help shape the future of energy
Good Energy is one of the UK’s original renewable energy pioneers, built around the belief that people should be able to take practical action on climate change. Today, we’re expanding beyond energy supply to help customers generate, store, share and use clean power.
Our ambition is to create the most trusted digital customer experience in UK clean energy, which works for both business and domestic customers, empowering them to generate, store, and trade energy seamlessly through one integrated ecosystem.
As Head of Design, you’ll lead the creation of experiences that make complex energy journeys feel simple, intuitive, and genuinely human. This is a senior leadership role: you’ll shape the design culture,
capability, and customer experience of a company helping accelerate the transition to cleaner energy, while bringing a strong customer and experience perspective into strategic decisions across
the business.
You’ll lead a talented design team, working closely with product, engineering, commercial, service and operational leaders to create experiences that customers love across web, app, service, and
operational touchpoints. You’ll be expected to influence beyond Design, building alignment with senior stakeholders and helping the organisation make better decisions grounded in customer insight.
We’re looking for someone who combines strong design craft, systems thinking, customer obsession, and modern leadership - someone who can elevate both the quality of our experiences and the way we work together.
