About this opportunity
We’re looking for someone who can work collaboratively alongside a full design team and take full ownership of their design output.

As a UX Designer, it’ll be your role to:

• Skillfully 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 i.e. Figma
• Balance business requirements with user needs – you'll be gathering user research and rationale to align stakeholders 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

• Familiarity working in a complex landscape – ideally, you’ll have experience in financial services
• A collaborative mindset to work closely and quickly with a multi-disciplinary team
• 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
• Strong advocacy of customer inclusivity and accessibility
