We have an exciting opportunity for an IT Applications Designer to join the Solution Design team on a permanent basis. In this role, you’ll work closely with internal teams and external partners to design, prototype and guide the delivery of elegant solutions that meet the needs of the user, comply with our design principles, and fall within brand guidelines. You’ll communicate design solutions to delivery teams and stakeholders, supporting problem solving, gaining consensus, and helping to facilitate the build process. You’ll play a leading role in supporting both technical design processes and embedding the culture of good user experience, where appropriate, whilst ensuring the solution remains fit for purpose. You’ll ensure solutions meet business and system requirements and are successfully transitioned into business-as-usual.
As an IT Applications Designer, you’ll understand, evaluate and challenge IT system requirements from Subject Matter Experts and Business Analysts to ensure that they are complete and provide sufficient clarity to produce fit-for-purpose low-level solution design documents and enable accurate IT solution development estimates.
