We are looking for a Senior User-Experience Designer responsible for conceiving and conducting user research (interviews, surveys, personas …) before translating these valuable insights into UX deliverables (flows, site maps, wireframes, use cases, experience and journey maps …) that you then bring to life through prototypes.

- Translate fuzzy concepts into clear direction through UX deliverables such as moodboards, sketches, wireframes, mockups and prototypes that lead to intuitive user experiences.
- Deliver experiences that are optimised for a wide range of devices and interfaces, including phone, tablet, and web, and desktop.
- Adopt (and champion) a user-centred design approach through rapidly testing and iterating on your concepts and designs.
- Operate in cross-functional teams; including design, product, content, engineering and marketing in a collaborative effort to share and implement research and user experience insights.
- Encourage and promote UX and design thinking within the teams that you work with.
