At Clarion Housing Group, we're making websites and apps that are simpler, more accessible, and more useful.

* Improving complex journeys and back-office processes
* Co-creating components with front-end developers
* Owning and evolving our design system (Figma + Storybook)

* Good understanding of front-end development
* Strong communication and collaboration skills
