About the opportunity

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

• Bring designs to life with using Figma software.
• 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.

• 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.
• 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.
