As a talented Senior Product Designer, you thrive in a fast-paced environment whilst contributing continuously to the team. You are able to respond to challenges with both creative and data-informed ideas.

What you will do...

Own the end-to-end design process whilst considering the impact of your work across the various teams and parts of the application.

• Think in systems and detest copy-and-paste implementation. You will push other designers to optimise their workflow and re-use or repurpose components instead of rebuilding every time.
• Challenge Product Owners, bringing your own knowledge and experience to the table to push for even greater ideas.
• Mobile-first is not just a buzzword to you, it is a mindset. It is the way that you work and is something that you instil in those around you.
• Drive your own research to help uncover new ideas and to find existing problems. You are forever inquisitive and never consider that something is "done".
• Analyse Product Metrics to ensure that your designs and those of the team are working as intended, and if not, you are there to start asking more questions.
• Create interfaces to test your ideas/prototypes with the team and with customers.
• Bridge the gap between design, development and product and understand the role that each team plays in delivering a solid product.
• Mentor and support fellow Designers, Developers and Product Owners to continually raise the bar for quality in our product.
• Influence and support the growth of the team through hiring, networking and sourcing our future team members.

• You can understand, interpret and challenge data insights.
• You come with great references as a true team player.
• You are easy going, enthusiastic, and have the humbleness to let go when you see a design is failing while having a passion for correcting it.
