Role
Who you are
- This is a high-impact, high-ownership role, ideal for someone who combines sharp product thinking, strong UX skills, and a passion for simplifying complexity
- You have experience within UX design and cross-platform – you’ve designed both web and mobile features in a B2C or D2C environment
- You are comfortable working with data and insights to guide decisions and experienced in customer research methods
- You have a keen eye for detail, strong visual design skills, and the ability to translate complex user journeys into simple, intuitive interfaces
- You have a clear bias for action and proactivity – you take the initiative to spot opportunities, gather insights, and move things forward, even when the path isn’t fully defined
- You have the ability to bring clarity to ambiguity – structuring problems and shaping them into actionable work
- You have empathy for others – through mentorship, sharing knowledge, and modelling high standards
- If this sounds like your kind of thing, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick every box. We’d love to hear from you!

- Act as the trusted adviser to product leadership, shaping scalable, user-first design whilst remaining hands on designing the product and a scalable design system
- Create the UX strategy and roadmap for a fast-growing fintech that wants to disrupt an outdated industry
- Conduct market research, competitor analysis, and gather user feedback through various methods to understand customer needs and pain points
- Lead on the UX for product initiatives - representing the voice of the customer to directly improve the overall customer experience ultimately reducing friction and increasing efficiencies
- Contribute to multiple high-performing, autonomous squads where your ideas will directly influence our success
- Designing and optimising end-to-end customer journeys across mobile and web platforms to address pain points, drive business outcomes and deliver value for our customers

- Defining UX approaches and research plans across initiatives and teams
- Engaging directly with customers to gather requirements, validate solutions, and ensure the product delivers real value

- Our interviews are conversational, so come with questions and be curious
