• Define and communicate UX and product design strategy across adjacent design efforts.
• Create design specifications, prototypes, mock-ups and product models that guide implementation.
• Use data, metrics, UX testing and stakeholder feedback to evaluate design impact and improve product outcomes.
• Drive design-system, design-language or holistic design-process improvements across teams or products.

• Strong senior-level product design or UX design experience in a complex technology product environment.
• Evidence of owning design outcomes for mature products, platforms, complex programmes or ambiguous new areas.
• Depth in product design, interaction design, UX research methodology and product development lifecycle.
• Confidence using data analysis, synthesis, user insight and metrics to inform design decisions.
• A strong portfolio showing craft, systems thinking, stakeholder influence and business-aware design choices.
• Clear communication, storytelling and presentation skills with the ability to influence cross-functional partners.

If you are a senior product designer who enjoys complex product challenges, cross-functional influence and design work that has to scale, this contract is worth a conversation.
