You’re not required to manage anyone as a Lead, but you will mentor others and lead by example, offering design critique, sharing your thoughts and domain knowledge, and helping others develop their skills and expertise. This could be anything from helping deliver the team’s professional development programme to hosting knowledge sharing sessions or even creating better processes that can be implemented across the wider team.

- Promote the value of design and collaborative practice across spheres of influence and participation
- Present and communicate design work to a range of different audiences
- Challenge current solutions, by exploring ideal future concepts and identifying new interaction solutions and patterns that meet customer needs in a better way
- Create prototypes which tangibly demonstrate a proposed concept or solution
- 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 design system 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 innovating and delivering complex design experiences at scale
- Track record of solving 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
- Experience working on platform products/features
- Experience working on information design (i.e. Information architecture)
