Senior Product Designer

Synechron is looking for an experienced Senior Product Designer (UX & UI) to help create highly usable and intuitive digital products for our clients and staff.

The role requires a strong passion for the user-centred design process, leading user research and discovery, working with business requirements and helping to define new product and feature solutions. You will be the voice of design expertise through the facilitation of workshops and user interviews, to concept sketching, wireframing, prototyping and testing your solutions.

Working closely with Product Owners and development teams, you will be an advocate for the user at all times and ensure that everything we do is client-centered. You’ll be able to demonstrate that you have successfully designed and delivered complex enterprise applications at a large scale, combining strategic thinking with hands-on, detailed-oriented UX design.

• Strategise, conceptualise and design new products and features across multiple product teams
• Conduct user research and synthesise complex business and user needs into tangible design solutions, bringing a product concept to life quickly
• Plan and facilitate workshops along the design process to align the product vision and gather all needed requirements of the product: e.g. journey mapping, concept exploration, storyboarding or other design methods
• Build prototypes to communicate journey flow and interaction details that can also be used to test and validate with end-users
• Feel equally comfortable sketching and wireframing a design solution as making strong UI and data visualisations
• Contribute interaction design patterns and components to our Design System and be an advocate for consistency and re-use across all digital products

Job Requirements:

• At least 6 years’ experience designing user-centered digital products and enterprise applications, ideally in the financial services sector
• A strong portfolio and a user-centered design process that you can present and articulate clearly
• Experience conducting detailed user research and working closely with users and stakeholders to gather requirements
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain the rationale behind your design solutions
• Demonstrable strategic thinking on client projects and experience running creative workshops within continuous design sprints
• Experience with agile methodologies and integrating design with product delivery teams
• High attention-to-detail in everything you do, from storytelling and clarity of communication through to detailed wireframes and prototypes
• Knowledge and experience working in Figma to an advanced level
