**The role**

Reporting to the Head of Customer Experience & Design, we are after an Experience Design Lead who is ready for their next challenge to make the experience for our customers the best it can be. A leader within the team, you are both a product SME and a mentor for the junior team members. With a portfolio of high profile clients, you want to understand, identify and pre-empt their needs. You are happy to get 'on the tools' bringing your experience of building high quality and fit for purpose artefacts.

You are endlessly curious and love delving into a problem. You work with our teams, clients and end-users to create best-in-class experiences and to bring them to life, ensuring that results are tangible and measurable.

**Your Ticket to Success**:
**Be an advocate. **For Frankie, for the product, for our people and for our values.

**Own your craft.**
