• Enhance design quality and craftsmanship
• Occasional travel (~monthly) to the North of England to work with another team linked to POS products

THE CANDIDATE

• Proven experience in UI and UX design within B2B2C environments (e.g., fintech, ecommerce, lending)
• Experience as a Lead Designer within embedded product teams and influencing across disciplines
• Comfortable in fast-paced, agile environments with a hands-on delivery approach
