About this opportunity

We're looking for someone to lead one of our Experience Design squads in Everyday Banking. You'll provide guidance to stakeholders, development teams and other Interaction Designers, working alongside and leading a design team. You'll take full ownership of their output, providing rationale for design decisions and confidently present their work back to stakeholders.

As a Senior UX Designer, it'll be your role to:

• Shape and implement experience strategy for the product area
  
• Having a deep understanding of customer needs, pain points and expectations
  
• Understand goals and challenges in the context of business and engineering priorities
  
• Work with service designers to influence and develop the roadmap and overall product strategy
  
• Engage with leadership to understand objectives and opportunities aligned to good customer outcomes
  
• Provide leadership to a team of multi-disciplinary designers to support decision-making, delivery and team culture
  
• Establish a growth culture and build capabilities through the formal development and mentoring of team members
  

What you'll need

• A proven track record of building brilliant digital product experiences
  
• The confidence to advocate for Dual Track Agile (continuous discovery & continuous delivery)
  
• Deep expertise within Product Design/User Experience design/Interaction Design
  
• Experience leading multidisciplinary design teams
  
• A cross-functional mindset and strong stakeholder engagement skills; you'll be able to build strong relationships with Product & Engineering peers and wider partners
  
• A strong strategic vision that aligns well to the overall business strategy
  
• We insist that the people we work with are considerate and have a high sense of personal accountability to do the difficult, right things. We look for people with generous natures and high standards of fairness. Most important, they must be able to put their egos aside and assess themselves candidly.
  

About Working For Us

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture.

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative. And it's why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups.

We're disability confident. So if you'd like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
  
• Share schemes including free shares
  
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
  
• 30 days' holiday, with bank holidays on top
  
• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
