Key duties and responsibilities:

• Use Figma and other design tools to create, test, and refine design concepts, wireframes, customer journey maps, workflows, and prototypes.

About you:

You are passionate about getting to the root of a problem and identifying the ‘why’. You’re someone who knows how to use the tools and allow the data to drive your design and decision-making process while balancing the needs and identity of a brand.

• Experience in A/B testing and applying findings to future improvements.
• Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously.
• Strong communication, presentation, interpersonal, analytical, organisational, and problem-solving skills.
• Passion for usability and accessibility, with the ability to translate this into your work.
• Good technical knowledge to understand what is and is not possible.
