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. You’ll be confident when presenting your work to stakeholders, and able to adapt designs to reflect your feedback and feedback from user research and usability testing.

Our Financial Wellbeing team craft human-centred end-to-end experiences for all customers in financial difficulty. Using behavioural insights and behavioural design, we place empathy and the human experience at the heart of all we do. Across human and digital channels, we support our customers in their moments of need. With our work we aim to transform moments of worry into moments of hope to help them back on their feet.

This non-aspirational experience context often differs from other parts of financial services and the ideal candidate will have desired experience with health, mental Health, behavioural design or similar.

If you want to make a difference to the lives of vulnerable customers, why not apply? Find out more about what we’re looking for.

What will I be doing?

• 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 Sketch / InVision / Figma / Axure / Adobe XD

• Balance business requirements with user needs – you'll be gathering user research and rationale to align collaborators 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
