The Role
You’ll be the primary design lead across complex, high‑impact digital programmes. You’ll own the process end‑to‑end, from discovery and user research to UX exploration and UI delivery, and be the person stakeholders trust to tell them what to do next.

* Act as the escalation point for design decisions, removing blockers and keeping quality high
* Coach and mentor designers, raising the bar for the whole practice
* Present, persuade, and build trust with senior stakeholders across the business
Qualifications
Strong experience in complex enterprise environments, with a portfolio that demonstrates real end‑to‑end thinking and a genuine interest in inclusive, accessible design.
Deep expertise in product design, UX, and design systems; plus proficiency in user research, accessibility, content design, and agile delivery.
Background in financial services or corporate banking is a plus.
Benefits
Work for one of the UK’s most recognised financial brands. Real influence from day one. Your fingerprints will be on products that millions of people use every day.
