- Nurture and manage key relationships within the company beyond your immediate team and invested in the success of your team and pursue shared goals.
- Cultivate a mindset of continuous growth through actively seeking and giving constructive feedback, with the end goal of achieving good outcomes for the user and business.
- Are highly organised and comfortable with a certain degree of context-switching in your day-to-day.
- Are pragmatic and understand the iterative nature of your projects and can prioritise according to impact and constraints.
- Are a good communicator, able to bring stakeholders and peers on board / along with you for the journey and can demonstrate the impact of your work and decisions
- Proactively and autonomously seek opportunities for growth, improvement and innovation and set the pace and standards for outcomes and outputs.
- Understand the complexity of working on regulated B2C products and play a key role in shaping strategic discovery and planning, ensuring design decisions align with long-term product and business objectives.
What you’ll bring to the role
- You have proven experience as a high performing Senior Product Designer within an end-to-end role, owning projects for their entire lifecycle, from conception and ideation to delivery.
- Your portfolio projects showcase a combination of research, UX and UI skills, clear outcomes and impact on the user and business alike.
- Knowledge and experience with research methodologies and associated tooling (independently or in support of user researchers), journey mapping, problem-framing and solving, running workshops and collaborative sessions - highly desirable and necessary at least at a base level.
- Systems thinking and ability to implement established best practices and patterns to deliver outputs of high standards and accessible, inclusive experiences.
- You display maturity and autonomy in managing your time and focus - you can comfortably utilise your skills to craft the vision for your domain, even when navigating some ambiguity.
