How We Hire
Everyone is welcome at M&S. No exceptions. It’s your background, abilities and differences that make you, uniquely you. And when you’re part of M&S, that individuality has the potential to make waves.
About the role
This section tells you all you need to know about the position and its responsibilities, outlining everything we hope to see in a successful candidate.
Summary
Summary
Are you ready to shape the future of retail with one of Britain’s most iconic brands?
M&S is reimagining its experiences for customers and colleagues – both online and in-store. As part of that transformation, we’re looking for a curious, analytical, and collaborative UX Researcher to join our Product Design and UX Research team.
In this role, you’ll advise the product lifecycle with insights from customers and colleagues. You’ll champion evidence‑based thinking, bring clarity to ambiguity, and ensure the voice of the user is at the heart of what we design and build.
You’ll collaborate closely with Designers, Product Managers, and Data analysts to contribute insights that shape decisions which influence how our customers shop and our colleagues do their work.
We believe the best ideas come from working together. That’s why our teams spend three days a week in the office, staying close to end users and each other.

Meet the Team
Being an in-person business
We're at our best when we're close to customers, and for many of us at M&S, that means working in store every day.
To stay close to customers, our support teams are in the office three days a week as we believe that skills are developed through collaboration, and that spending time together makes us more creative and connected. It also means we can solve problems as soon as they arise, learn and grow as a team, build trust, and get closer to our colleagues.
