• Produce and iterate interactive prototypes for stakeholder presentation, user research / workshops and A / B testing.
• Proactively collaborate with managers, developers, copywriters and clinicians.

What you'll need to have

• At least five years experience as a Digital Designer for web and app products.
• A confident and skilled designer, able to present and defend high-quality, creative design work and articulate design decisions to senior stakeholders.

• An advocate for user-centric design approaches.
• Strong understanding of front-end development constraints and capabilities.
• Experience working on 'social first' campaigns would be desirable.
