We’re looking for a UX Designer to help shape digital experiences for a major player in financial services.

• Conduct quick research loops and usability testing to validate ideas and reduce ambiguity early.
• Collaborate with researchers, product owners, and engineers to ensure user intent is reflected through delivery.
• Work within a large‑scale design system, contributing patterns, improving documentation, and maintaining consistency across journeys.
• Design for accessibility from the outset, aligning with WCAG 2.2 standards and inclusive design principles.

• 4 years’ experience designing complex, transactional digital products or services.
• Background in financial, data‑driven, or enterprise‑scale environments.
• Strong grounding in core UX disciplines: IA, interaction design, and user research synthesis.
• Confident in translating insights into practical design solutions that scale.
• Experienced collaborating across multi‑disciplinary teams with structured delivery practices.
