You’ll work closely with UX Writers, UX Researchers, Product Managers, engineers, and business stakeholders to solve complex problems and build digital products that make banking simple, intuitive, and enjoyable for our users.

Great Design and User Experience

Create intuitive, engaging, and consistent product experiences that address user needs and deliver meaningful value.

• Design end-to-end user experiences across apps, websites, and other digital touchpoints, translating complex problems into simple, intuitive, and accessible solutions.
• Develop user flows, information architecture, wireframes, prototypes, and high-quality interfaces that support user goals and business objectives.
• Apply strong visual design and interaction principles to create polished, cohesive, and engaging experiences across platforms and devices.
• Use and continuously improve our design system, contributing reusable components, interaction patterns, and design standards that enable consistency and scalability.
• Identify and solve usability issues, interaction friction, inconsistent patterns, and conflicting product experiences across user journeys.
• Collaborate with UX Writers to integrate content and interaction design, ensuring language, information, and visual elements work together to guide users effectively.
• Explore and validate different design approaches, using creativity, established design principles, and emerging technologies to develop effective solutions.
• Consider accessibility, usability, technical feasibility, and diverse user needs throughout the design process to create inclusive experiences.

 

Design Strategy and Process

Translate user insights, business needs, and technical constraints into effective product solutions, ensuring design decisions are grounded in evidence and aligned with measurable outcomes.

• Identify user problems, business opportunities, assumptions, and knowledge gaps to establish clear design objectives before developing solutions.
• Work with UX Researchers, UX Writers, data teams, and other stakeholders to understand user needs, evaluate concepts, and validate design decisions.
• Translate research findings, behavioral data, and business requirements into actionable design opportunities and practical product solutions.
• Collaborate with Product Managers, engineers, and business teams to shape product features, define requirements, explore trade-offs, and align on intended outcomes.
• Take ownership of design problems from discovery through delivery, ensuring solutions address underlying user needs rather than simply fulfilling predefined requirements.
• Apply and continuously improve our design process, adapting methods and activities to the complexity, uncertainty, and needs of each project.
• Clearly articulate design rationale, trade-offs, and recommendations through compelling narratives that help stakeholders understand the problem, proposed solution, and expected impact.
