• Create production ready design assets and work with engineers to ensure a high quality experience is shipped. 
• Facilitate workshops and/or design sprints that bring stakeholders and others along the product development journey.

Who you are

• You have a portfolio that demonstrates your design process and core craft skills including interaction and visual design across app and web. 
• You know how to run, evaluate and interpret user research findings in order to wireframe or prototype solutions. 
• You have experience iterating or launching mobile app or web products by working collaboratively with engineers, product managers and other designers in an agile way.
• You have a well-trained eye for design quality, usability and consistency. 
• You have an understanding of technologies used to build world-class mobile product experiences. You have experience in agile working and sprints, will be hands-on with user-acceptance testing (UAT) and have a familiarity with the fundamentals of accessibility and usability.
• You have experience with prototyping and design tools like Miro, Protopie or Figma and can prioritise choosing the right tool at the right time. Experience in AI enabled prototyping tools would be a plus. 
• You are a motivated team player with the ability to perform well under pressure and take ownership of your work end-to-end.
