Job description

About The Role

Our users are investment professionals around the world, working across multiple asset classes, sectors and regions. They rely on our products for news, data and analysis and networking, and they expect those products to be urgent, precise and rigorously curated.

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to help us deliver that. It's a broad role: part UI, part UX, and part advocate for good design across the business. The impact goes beyond individual features, because you'll help shape how the whole organisation designs and builds products.

You’ll work on our design system. We need someone with deep design system experience to refine and extend what we already have, and to work closely with engineering so that what ships matches what was designed.

Beyond the system, you'll take product problems from start to finish: understanding what customers need, prototyping and testing ideas, and seeing them through to delivery. You'll present your work to senior leaders with confidence, backing each decision with clear reasoning.

AI is already changing how we work. We've moved quickly, building our own models to make the business more efficient, and we want a designer who sees that as an opportunity: someone keen to bring AI into the design process as our tools and practices evolve.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Transformational Impact: Lead complex projects from concept through to delivery.
• System thinking: Contribute to the design language and system.
• Prototyping: Build functioning prototypes to test with customers, ensuring designs meet user needs.
• Collaboration: Work closely with product designers, UX researchers, BAs, engineers, and product managers, as we embrace new processes and technology.
• Facilitation: Confidently run workshops and meetings to understand user needs and get stakeholder buy-in.

• Keen to get stuck in – we have lots of work to do

Qualification & Experience

• 7+ years’ experience as a Product designer
• Experience creating design systems
• Highly capable using Figma
• Strong visual, interaction, UX design and prototyping background
• Financial services experience beneficial but not essential
• Experience with accessibility best practices
