- Build a design system from the ground up, creating a consistent experience that designers and engineers can easily work with.
- Make complex trading and investing journeys feel simple, from finding products to trade through to managing risk and moving money.
- Lead and develop the design team, with responsibility for hiring, team structure, performance and career progression.
- Build a strong research practice, spending time with real customers and using their feedback and behaviour to shape product decisions.
- Connect design to business results, looking at how the experience impacts acquisition, conversion, retention and revenue.
- Stay hands-on with the design work while working closely with product, engineering and commercial leaders to shape the wider product strategy.
