About the opportunity
We're looking for someone who can work collaboratively alongside a full design team and take full ownership of their design output. You'll be confident when presenting work to stakeholders, and able to adapt designs to reflect their feedback and feedback from user research and usability testing.
As a UX / Product Designer, it'll be your role to:
Skilfully craft the end-to-end user experience, bringing together a cohesive journey step by step, creatively using components from a central design system to figure out the right balance of content and UI (User Interface) elements on screen
Bring designs to life with a choice of prototyping software, such as Sketch / InVision / Figma / Axure / Adobe XD
Balance business requirements with user needs - you'll be gathering user research and rationale to align stakeholders on individual user needs. You'll know when to diplomatically push back, if necessary, to act on what's right for the customer
Be adaptable to the technical constraints of different platforms yet still be able to give guidance on creating the best possible end user experience
Advocate customer inclusion - what it means to make an inclusive and accessible design to be used by customers of a wide range of ages, backgrounds and technical abilities

Demonstrable experience within User Experience design / Interaction Design
Strong experience as an Interaction Designer, UX Designer (or possibly from a Visual Design background)
Full ownership of the Interaction Design project
Excellent prototyping and layout skills which they can articulate clearly to internal customers and development teams
Comfortable using existing design systems, proactively recommending new ways to improve and extend them to benefit both the project and other designers
Ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative research, and how this informs the interaction design process. We have dedicated user research teams supporting designers on real data, providing a great wealth of customer insights.
Familiarity working in a complex landscape - ideally, you'll have experience in financial services
A collaborative mindset to work closely and quickly with a multi-disciplinary team
Strong ability to see designs through to delivery - communicating with developers to ensure designs meet specifications and can be used by a broad range of users of all backgrounds, ages and abilities
Strong advocacy of customer inclusivity and accessibility
