Job description

JOB TITLE: Senior UX Designer - 12 Month FTC

LOCATION(S): London

HOURS: Full Time

WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites. Colleagues with disabilities can be supported with workplace adjustments including hybrid working expectations in line with our Flexibility Works policy.

What you'll be doing

We're looking for someone who can work collaboratively alongside a full design team and take full ownership of their design output. They will be confident when presenting their work to collaborators, and able to adapt designs to reflect their feedback and feedback from user research and usability testing.

Skilfully craft the end-to-end user experience, bringing together a cohesive journey step by step, creatively using components from a central design system to figure out the right balance of content and UI (User Interface) elements on screen

Bring designs to life with a choice of prototyping software, such as Figma

Balance business requirements with user needs - you'll be gathering user research and rationale to align customers on individual user needs. You'll know when to diplomatically push back, if necessary, to act on what's right for the customer

Be adaptable to the technical constraints of different platforms yet still be able to give guidance on creating the best possible end user experience

Advocate customer inclusion - what it means to make an inclusive and accessible design to be used by customers of a wide range of ages, backgrounds and technical abilities

We're transforming at pace. Investing billions in our people, data and tech to change the way we meet the needs of our 28 million customers. We're growing, and we'd love you to be part of the journey.

What we're looking for?

A minimum 5 years experience within User Experience design/Interaction Design

Strong experience as an Interaction Designer, UX Designer (or possibly from a Visual Design background).

Full ownership of the Interaction Design project

Excellent prototyping and layout skills which they can articulate clearly to internal customers and development teams

Comfortable using existing design systems, proactively recommending new ways to improve and extend them to benefit both the project and other designers

Ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative research, and how this informs the interaction design process. We have dedicated user research teams supporting designers on real data, providing a great wealth of customer insights.

Familiarity working in a complex landscape - ideally, you'll have experience in financial services

Strong ability to see designs through to delivery - communicating with developers to ensure designs meet specifications and can be used by a broad range of users of all backgrounds, ages and abilities

We know that great talent comes from many backgrounds. Whilst this job advert may reference specific years of experience, we recognise that skills are developed in many ways, so if you have relevant, transferable experience, we encourage you to apply.

This is a place for you

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities and we're committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn and develop.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

A generous pension contribution of up to 15%

An annual performance-related bonus

Share schemes including free shares

Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping

30 days' holiday, with bank holidays on top
