The Design team focuses on one (admittedly huge) thing, and they do it very well…
Making sure our users have the best experience on our app!
They are data informed researchers, innovators, content and design experts, casting a laser focussed eye over the execution and validation of our platform and its features.
We’re building the foundations of a world-class function and anyone who joins will be building the future in the context of a hyper-growth start-up.
We're looking for a solid practitioner with good knowledge of both UX and UI design who can create exceptional human-centred experiences. You’re comfortable using data to inform your decisions, and don’t mind learning through experimentation, but you’re equally comfortable challenging decisions which are detrimental to our users’ experience.
As a proactive team member, you love collaborating with the other disciplines to explore different solutions to problems, and you work well with product managers and stakeholders.
Your Experience
Must have:
- Competence in Figma and common design tools
- Good product thinking and a human-centred design approach
- Ability to create interactive prototypes, showing knowledge of composition, colour and interaction design principles
- Confident communication skills, providing a clear rationale for your decisions
- You’ll have 5-8 of experience in product design – preferably in a fast-paced, commercial environment – with a strong portfolio or case studies that demonstrate results
- Experience in design transformation projects (for example: design system implementation, design processes definition, team scaling)
Nice to have:
- If you’ve worked on mobile products or in healthcare, that’s also great, but not essential.
What you'll be doing
You'll be responsible for:
- Mentor junior designers and drive team ceremonies
- Work with the product design lead on improving the design processes
- Help the product manager define their product vision, initiatives and roadmap
- Design and visualise concepts – co-designing with UX writers
- Evolve concepts to the relevant level of fidelity, from prototypes to final mock-ups
- Carry out discovery activities, run ideation sessions and initiate the necessary team activities to develop future product visions
- Engage in research sessions and act on insights to further develop our products
- Carry out heuristic analysis and optimise current designs through hypothesis-based AB testing
- Present work in design review sessions or demos
