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 Sketch / InVision / Figma / Axure / Adobe XD
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

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
