Do work that matters

At CommBank, we’re transforming banking to enhance the financial health of our customers and communities.

As Senior Product Designer, you’ll help shape the overall UI and navigation for staff-facing experiences, making complex work simpler, faster and more consistent ensuring it’s easier for more Australians to apply and purchase property with CommBank

You’ll help modernise an in-development platform, creating the patterns, tooling and ways of working that enable teams to progressively refactor existing experiences and build new ones using a scalable, accessible design system.

See yourself in our team

We’re looking for a senior designer who is equally comfortable in Figma, design-system architecture, technical conversations with engineers and business prioritisation with product leaders.

This role needs more than strong craft. You’ll build trusted relationships with Product and Technology leads and work closely with delivery teams operating under pressure. You’ll help make better UX easier to deliver by providing practical tooling, guidance and pathways for adopting the design system.

You’ll also help mentor and support a small team of designers, helping lift their craft, confidence and technical capability.

Key Responsibilities

• Shape platform UI, navigation and information architecture.
• Use and contribute to the shared staff design system.
• Build scalable Figma components, patterns, variables and libraries.
• Partner with engineers to translate design-system intent into code.
• Use AI tooling to accelerate design, prototyping and design-to-code workflows.
• Create pragmatic approaches for migrating legacy experiences to the design system.
• Make high-quality UX easier for delivery teams to adopt.
• Build trusted partnerships with Product and Technology leads.
• Improve design-to-development workflows, guidance and quality practices.
• Mentor and coach developing designers.
• Facilitate alignment across Design, Product and Engineering.
• Champion accessible, consistent and evidence-led design.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong experience designing complex digital products or platforms.
• Deep expertise building and evolving design systems in Figma.
• Technical fluency working with engineers and coded component libraries.
• Understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript and frameworks such as React.
• Experience with design tokens, Storybook, Figma Dev Mode or similar tooling.
• Practical experience using AI in design and software-delivery workflows.
• Strong UI, interaction and information-architecture craft.
• Ability to influence delivery-focused stakeholders without relying on authority.
• Pragmatism in modernising legacy products incrementally.
• Strong communication, facilitation and relationship-building skills.
• Experience mentoring and developing other designers.
• A portfolio demonstrating design-system, platform and technical impact.

Why Join Us

• Shape the foundations of crucial staff-facing experiences.
• Modernise a complex platform and improve UX at scale.
• Influence a design system shared across lines of business.
• Work at the intersection of design, engineering and AI.
• Partner closely with senior Product and Technology leaders.
• Coach and develop a growing design team.
• Help make great design easier to build and maintain.
• Grow and learn as a member of a large & dynamic Product Design team
