This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll lead design for key initiatives, mentor designers across the mobile portfolio, and help us continually raise the bar for quality, usability, and craft.

              • Influence, challenge and support designers within your product area to deliver high quality product experiences
                • Develop phased design solutions that bridge the gap between a future state and current patterns, XUI Mobile design system, iOS, iPadOS, Android and other relevant constraints and considerations
                  • Develop detailed interactions and interfaces which are smart and contextually relevant
                    • Create effective handover materials which clearly communicate how the design should look and behave throughout interaction flows and journeys (e.g. User flow diagrams, design specifications, experience/interaction specifications etc)

What you'll bring with you

  • Track record of designing native mobile experiences across iOS and Android.
    • Track record of innovating and delivering complex design experiences at scale
      • Ability to solve customers' problems through design thinking and execution
        • A portfolio that demonstrates high-quality design outcomes, contributing to user experience and business value
          • A mastery of the entire design process from uncovering customer needs and pain points, to executing elegant interfaces
            • Excellent communication skills
