As a Messaging & Services Designer in our Core Engineering team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping how critical messaging and service platforms are designed, evolved and delivered across Virgin Media O₂.
You will translate complex technical capabilities into clear, robust designs that support both live and test environments, enabling services that are relied on every day by our customers and the wider business.
In this role, you will work at the heart of our messaging and services ecosystem, supporting initiatives such as satellite connectivity, emergency broadcast services and enhanced location services.
You will act as a trusted technical authority and consultant, aligning supplier roadmaps with our long-term plans and budgets, while ensuring every service is designed with customer experience, resilience and performance at its core. You will collaborate closely with teams across marketing, security and procurement, helping to turn ideas into deliverable, high-quality services that meet business and customer needs.
Who we are
Who We Are
The UK’s fastest broadband network. The nation’s best-loved mobile brand. And, one of the UK's biggest companies too. We put our customers first, making life simpler, smoother, and more joyful. With big ambitions and a brilliant team, we’re building a more connected future for everyone.
Our ways of working
We’re a flexible-first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration, we ask everyone to spend at least eight days each month connecting in person.
That doesn’t just mean time in the office, it could be team meetings, offsites, volunteering days, cross-functional projects, or away days - anywhere meaningful collaboration happens. What matters is making those moments purposeful, so when we come together, it really counts.
Accessible, inclusive and equitable for all
