Job Description

Are you looking for the opportunity to bring your extensive Product Designer experience to a world-class company that is market-leading for both content and technology?

We are looking for a skilled Product Designer with experience to work across the agency (B2B) and consumer teams at Reuters.

Reuters.com has recently undergone a full redesign which is currently in a beta phase rolled out to a sub-set of customers. The new site houses the unbiased Reuters news content as well as news from other areas of the Thomson Reuters business. The single source of truth for the redesign process sits within the newly developed design system which you would be influential in continuing to build out as the product grows beyond launch.

Reuters Connect is the most comprehensive digital platform powering the news eco-system. Hosting more than 26 million items from Reuters and a network of 70+ partners, it is the primary touchpoint for media organizations to ingest content to push out to their respective audiences. Connect aims to provide a cohesive experience so that customers can find all the content available to them in an easy to access and seamless manner to support their fast-paced workflows. Since its conception 4 years ago, it has won some of the most prestigious awards including Digi Day in 2018. The platform is evolving every year and there are some exciting features scheduled to be rolled out in 2021.
