Job description

Senior Product Designer – Perpetual Corporate Trust

Perpetual Group is an ASX-listed company (ASX:PPT) headquartered in Sydney, Australia, consisting of 11 leading brands across three distinct businesses: Asset Management, Wealth Management and Corporate Trust.

Perpetual Corporate Trust (PCT), a specialist business within the Perpetual Group, is a leading fiduciary, custody and digital business in Australia, with operations in Singapore. We provide a unique range of products to help clients, and the industry, be more effective, efficient and economical while managing ever-increasing cyber security risks and maintaining compliance. Domestic and global financial institutions leverage our corporate strength, commercial approach, risk and compliance practices, expertise and service excellence in debt markets, managed funds and digital solutions to enable our clients success.

About the Role

Help Perpetual Corporate Trust move more quickly from customer opportunity to validated digital product solutions.

As Senior Product Designer, you will bridge Product and Engineering, leading product discovery, experience design and rapid technical prototyping. You will turn customer and commercial opportunities into validated concepts, interactive prototypes and clear, development-ready designs.

This is a hands‑on role with the scope to become the cornerstone of a sustainable internal product design capability. You will establish design systems, retain valuable product knowledge and intellectual property, and strengthen the design capability within the Product team.

You will be equally comfortable leading discovery workshops, conducting customer research, creating functional software prototypes and working with architects and engineers to navigate technical constraints. The role will also help establish responsible, repeatable ways of using approved AI enabled design and development tools. Using tools such as Figma and approved AI enabled design and development platforms, you will move ideas from early concepts to technically credible, development-ready solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technical design practice enabling product discovery, journey mapping, experience design and product prototyping
• Translate customer needs and commercial opportunities into concepts, user flows and prioritised design hypotheses
• Create functional, technically credible prototypes that demonstrate journeys, behaviours and data interactions
• Partner with architects and engineers to design solutions that reflect technical, security and accessibility requirements
• Deliver annotated, development-ready designs, interaction specifications, acceptance guidance and reusable assets
• Establish and evolve the product design system, component libraries and responsible AI-enabled design and prototyping practices
• Support Product Team in facilitating client workshops and go-to-market activities

About you

• Senior product design or UX leadership experience, with at least seven years across product design, UX, service design, design technology or digital product development
• Strong capability in product discovery, customer research, concept testing and workshop facilitation
• Advanced Figma expertise, including components, variables or tokens, libraries, prototyping and design system administration
• Demonstrated experience creating functional or technical prototypes, rather than visual designs alone
• Front-end or full stack engineering experience is highly regarded
• Confidence working with architects and engineers, with the ability to understand technical constraints and translate designs into buildable solutions
• Practical experience using AI assisted design, coding, prototyping or modern product development tools, with sound judgement around security, privacy, intellectual property and quality
• Experience designing enterprise software, regulated products, financial services solutions or data-rich digital products is preferred
• Bachelor degree in Product Design, Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Digital Design, Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related discipline
• Relevant postgraduate qualification or recognised certification in UX, accessibility, service design or software development is desirable

Work environment and culture

Our unique culture is underpinned by our three organisational behaviours, Stretch, Own it, Make an impact which drive our approach of day-to-day interactions with colleagues and clients, the way we approach decision-making to the questions we ask and the problems we solve. We’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace where diversity is celebrated. No matter your background or circumstances, we aim to provide an environment where you can thrive.

Employee benefits

• We’re committed to supporting hybrid working with our philosophy balancing business client and individual needs with 2–3+ days in modern recently renovated office
• Work from anywhere in Australia for up to one month each year
• An annual allowance to empower you to prioritise your personal wellbeing
• Study support and commitment to supporting professional development

What you’ll do

• Develop and execute organic search strategies across multiple brands, driving growth in visibility, traffic, and search performance
• Lead end-to-end design initiatives, delivering intuitive, user-centred experiences aligned to product strategy and business goals
• Conduct user research, usability testing and discovery activities to uncover insights and validate design decisions
• Create high-quality wireframes, prototypes and polished designs that balance customer needs, technical feasibility and commercial outcomes
• Champion design quality and consistency through active contribution to Domain’s design system, patterns and design standards
• Partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers and cross-functional teams to shape solutions and influence product direction
• Drive continuous improvement by facilitating design critiques, sharing best practices, and advocating for new tools, processes and ways of working

Ideal qualifications

• 5+ years’ experience in Product Design, UX/UI Design or a related field, supported by a degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a similar discipline
• Demonstrated expertise in at least one design specialisation, with a strong portfolio showcasing user-centred design practices and outcomes
• Advanced proficiency in Figma, with experience creating wireframes, prototypes and high-fidelity designs
• Skilled in user research, usability testing and leveraging data insights to inform and validate design decisions
• Experience working in agile, cross-functional teams, partnering closely with Product Managers, Engineers and other stakeholders
• Strong understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG), design systems and agentic workflows, with a proven ability to contribute to and improve scalable design practices
