About this opportunity
We're looking for an experienced User Experience Designer to join our team in Edinburgh. This is a unique opportunity to define and enhance the journeys in which we engage and build relationships with our business customers, while supporting them with the right products, tools and services to meet their needs. We're looking for someone who can work collaboratively alongside a full design team and take full ownership of their design output. They will be confident when presenting their work to stakeholders, and able to adapt designs to reflect their feedback and feedback from user research and usability testing.
Responsibilities
- Skilfully craft the end-to-end user experience, bringing together a cohesive journey step by step, creatively using components from a central design system to figure out the right balance of content and UI (User Interface) elements on screen.
- Bring designs to life with a choice of prototyping software, such as Sketch / InVision / Figma / Axure / Adobe XD.
- Balance business requirements with user needs — gathering user research and rationale to align stakeholders on individual user needs, and diplomatically pushing back when necessary to act on what’s right for the customer.
- Be adaptable to the technical constraints of different platforms while providing guidance on creating the best possible end user experience.
- Advocate customer inclusion — design with accessibility and inclusivity in mind for a wide range of ages, backgrounds and technical abilities.
Qualifications
- Demonstrable experience within User Experience design/Interaction Design.
- Strong experience as an Interaction Designer, UX Designer (or from a Visual Design background).
- Full ownership of the Interaction Design project.
- Excellent prototyping and layout skills and the ability to articulate them to internal customers and development teams.
- Comfortable using existing design systems and proactively recommending improvements to benefit the project and other designers.
- Ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative research and apply insights to the interaction design process, supported by dedicated user research teams.
- Familiarity with working in a complex landscape — ideally experience in financial services.
- A collaborative mindset to work closely and quickly with a multi-disciplinary team.
- Strong ability to see designs through to delivery — communicating with developers to ensure designs meet specifications and can be used by a broad range of users.
- Strong advocacy of customer inclusivity and accessibility.
