  • Analyse research findings and support the creation of personas, journey maps, and other user-centred artifacts.
  • Benchmark competitors and industry best practices to inform design decisions.

Interaction & Visual Design

  • Define information architecture, user flows, and interaction models for clear and intuitive experiences.
  • Develop low- to mid-fidelity wireframes and translate them into polished UI designs.
  • Build interactive prototypes to test concepts and gather feedback from users and stakeholders.

Collaboration & Communication

  • Work closely with Product Owners, Developers, and other Designers to deliver features that meet business and user needs.
  • Participate in agile ceremonies, providing design input to sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
  • Present design concepts and rationale to peers and stakeholders in a clear, engaging manner.
  • Support team knowledge sharing by documenting design decisions and contributing to case studies or design showcases.

Testing & Continuous Improvement

  • Assist with usability testing and A/B testing to validate design solutions.
  • Apply insights from data, user feedback, and testing to improve product experiences.
  • Stay current with UX/UI trends, tools, and methodologies to continuously improve skills and practice.
     

Qualifications

  • 4+ years in UX, UI, and product design, ideally in consultancy or digital product environments.
  • Tertiary qualification in Design, HCI, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience with Figma, prototyping tools and the MS Office suite.
  • Understanding of user-centred design principles, accessibility, and responsive design.
  • Strong visual design and interaction design skills, with attention to detail.
