Role overview: We are in the middle of a major organisational transformation. It’s a bit chaotic, processes are still being defined, and the “right way” to do things is often something you’ll have to help us figure out.
The Mission: Your goal is to turn complex user insights into simple, accessible products while simultaneously helping us stabilise our design function. You will be accountable for the entire design lifecycle in a specific product area and may sometimes need to move into different business areas as required. You’ll also be a key player in our Design Operations (DesignOps), helping us move from “organised chaos” to a high-performing design engine.
