As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll lead the scoping, direction, and planning of product design for mid-size and increasingly complex projects and programmes, while also contributing to the development of product strategy. A key part of your role is making sure that designs are user-centred, engaging, and functionally effective, supported by validated insights and aligned with business requirements. You’ll also drive the execution of design across initiatives, innovating within defined constraints and balancing originality with usability, brand consistency, and technical feasibility to deliver impactful, scalable solutions. In this role, you’ll act as an escalation point, remove blockers to maintain momentum and quality, and make informed design decisions within your defined authority so that all outputs support project objectives and business goals.
Moreover, we’ll expect you to foster strong collaboration across design disciplines and other functions, engaging key stakeholders to make sure of alignment and effective delivery of projects, programmes, and strategic initiatives. You’ll create, evolve, and promote design guidelines and standards to drive consistency, scalability, and high-quality outcomes across the bank. As part of your contribution to team and practice growth, you’ll continuously develop your own expertise, including leadership skills, while coaching, mentoring, and providing constructive feedback to colleagues. You’ll also play an important role in strengthening the overall maturity of the design practice.
In addition, you’ll be:
- Enabling collaboration across multiple disciplines and functions for programmes and complex projects, ensuring clarity on responsibilities and deliverables for each discipline
- Communicating the value and impact of product design decisions for projects and programmes to a wide range of audiences in a clear and compelling way
- Acting as a key contact for stakeholders, managing expectations, influencing decisions, and resolving risks, conflicts, and alignment issues within defined authority and escalating when necessary
- Shaping and evolving guidelines and standards to drive scalability, consistency, quality, accessibility, and inclusion in product design, and ensuring all outputs comply with necessary regulations
- Supporting product design capability by coaching and mentoring colleagues, sharing best practice, contributing to community engagement, and proactively improving your own product design skills
We’re looking for someone with a strong understanding of user-centred design and a comprehensive knowledge of digital product design within complex systems, including architecture, visualisation, and prototyping. You must also have a solid grasp of how to embed accessibility and inclusion into design. Experience delivering product design for mid-size and increasingly complex projects and programmes, informed and validated by user research, is essential too. This should be supported by a portfolio that demonstrates end to end design thinking from discovery through to UX exploration and UI delivery. The portfolio should showcase visually engaging product design, user-centred solutions, and clear rationale behind key design decisions.
To succeed in this role, you’ll need experience working in multidisciplinary teams and collaborating effectively with cross-functional partners, along with proven leadership skills. Strong stakeholder management is also key, with a focus on clear communication, effective expectation management, and the ability to present the rationale behind your work while advocating for the value and impact of design.
In addition, you’ll need:
- Experience defining and leading design projects and programmes at pace, using agile delivery methods
- Strong skills in design thinking, user experience design, interface design, information architecture, and prototyping
- Experience supporting product design capability development including coaching and mentoring, as well as sharing constructive feedback and knowledge with colleagues
- Experience working with complex corporate banking platforms, products and services would be beneficial
