  • Support discussions at a senior departmental level
  • Design usercentred solutions and transaction flows
  • Support in an Interaction Design capacity when needed
  • Create and rapidly iterate prototypes to help the wider team learn about user needs for different scenarios or tasks

Desirable Skillset-

  • Have experience of working directly with frontend code to update prototypes skills in HTML, CSS and java script aren't essential, but all our designers learn the basics

  • Have demonstrable experience of collaborating on designs with a software engineer
