Overview

As a Lead Product Designer, you will help define and deliver the experience vision for our Digital Banking platform. Working within our Research and Design team, you’ll play a key role in shaping exceptional financial experiences for Macquarie’s customers. This is an exciting opportunity to influence the future of digital banking and make a meaningful impact in a collaborative, innovative environment.

At Macquarie, our advantage is bringing together diverse people and empowering them to shape all kinds of possibilities. We are a global financial services group operating in 31 markets and with 56 years of unbroken profitability. You’ll be part of a friendly and supportive team where everyone - no matter what role - contributes ideas and drives outcomes.

What role will you play?

As a Lead Product Designer, you will be responsible for ensuring the quality and consistency of design output across multiple Agile squads within our Personal Banking platform. Partnering with our Director of Product, you will help shape and deliver our Digital Banking vision, working collaboratively to drive exceptional user experiences.

You’ll work alongside other designers in your portfolio to maintain high standards and a cohesive design language throughout our ecosystem.

In addition, you’ll partner with cross-functional teams, including Designers, Directors of Product, Product Managers, Business Analysts, Tech Leads, and Engineers, to optimise processes and foster effective collaboration within our Agile squads. Your work will directly contribute to delivering outstanding customer experiences and supporting Macquarie’s ambition to become the #1 Digital Bank.

What you offer

• 8+ years' experience in UX and UI or Product Design, with a proven track record of leading design projects to successful outcomes
• Strong portfolio showcasing expertise in user experience design, visual design, and design thinking methodologies
• Proficiency in design and prototyping tools, most importantly Figma
• Experience conducting generative and evaluative research for digital products
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate design concepts and rationalisation of design decisions to stakeholders

At Macquarie, you’re empowered to shape a career that’s rewarding in all the ways that matter most to you. Macquarie employees can access a wide range of benefits which, depending on employment type, include:

• 1 wellbeing leave day per year
