You'll be the custodian of the design system, ensuring that user-centred design principles are embedded throughout the development lifecycle.

Working closely with product teams, developers, business analysts, AI-enabled delivery teams, and key stakeholders, you'll ensure that designs are not only visually compelling but are implemented effectively and deliver measurable value to users.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and maintain the design framework, standards, and design system.
• Manage and govern design assets within Figma, ensuring consistency across the platform.
• Define and champion UX best practices and design principles.
• Collaborate with development teams to ensure designs are implemented accurately and consistently.
• Provide UX leadership across product initiatives, influencing decisions through user insight and data.
• Support wireframing, prototyping, and concept validation where required.
• Leverage emerging AI-enabled design approaches and tools to improve design efficiency and outcomes.
• Proven experience in a UX position, with at least 3 years experience.
• Strong Figma skills, including component libraries, design systems, and prototyping.
• Deep understanding of user-centred design methodologies and UX best practices.
• Experience working closely with software engineering teams in agile environments.
• Ability to use data, research, and user insights to challenge assumptions and influence decision-making.

Why Join?

This is an exciting opportunity for a design professional who wants to remain deeply involved in UX while taking ownership of design strategy, governance, and innovation within an AI-driven environment. You'll shape how users interact with a business-critical platform while helping define the future of design practices across the organisation.
