• Responsibility for the design and requirements gathering and delivery of our new mobile apps.
• Running workshops to ensure our design processes include UX/industry best practice.
• Conducting usability research with customers and subsequently iterate the design if necessary.
• Drive optimisation of user flows through our products.
• Coaching teammates, including group and individual review and input into their designs.
• Collaborating with colleagues across the group to define shared style guidelines and UX patterns across our ecosystem of products and technologies.
• Managing your own project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables.
• Consideration of and adherence to clinical safety processes.
• Experience working as a UX designer in an agile software house.
• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written; able to present complex scenarios with clarity.
• Expert understanding of usercentred design fundamentals and practical experience of UX design, research methodologies and practices at each stage of the delivery cycle.
• Experience educating stakeholders and team members in the value of UX design, especially when paired with Agile processes.
• Experience of conducting usability testing and qualitative and quantitative research.
• Expert user of design and prototyping software.
• Able to work well alone and take own initiative.
• Strong attention to detail and problemsolving.
• Willingness to learn new skills and develop within the role as required.
• Awareness of industry best practices and desire to innovate and adopt emerging design, UX and technology trends.

Desirable additional criteria:

• Experience working with software developers to create reusable components in React.
• Bachelor's degree or above in design or a related discipline.
• Experience of bringing mobile apps from concept to launch.
• Experience of product localisation.
