Our client is a major UK financial services organisation with a simple belief: great design should be felt by every customer, every time. They're looking for a Senior Digital Product Designer who can shape strategy on Monday and be knee-deep in accessibility frameworks and design systems by Friday.

This is a rare "thinker-doer" role with real autonomy, real ownership, and real impact.

The Role

You'll be the primary design lead across complex, high-impact digital programmes. You'll own the process end-to-end, from discovery and user research to UX exploration and UI delivery, and be the person stakeholders trust to tell them what to do next.

This isn't a pixel-pushing job. You'll be shaping product design strategy, building scalable design standards, leading cross-functional teams, and creating frameworks that connect great design to real business outcomes.

What You'll Do

• Lead product design across complex digital programmes, from discovery through to delivery
• Shape design strategy and contribute to the product design direction across the organisation
• Define and evolve design guidelines and standards that drive consistency and scale
• Act as the escalation point for design decisions, removing blockers and keeping quality high
• Coach and mentor designers, raising the bar for the whole practice
• Present, persuade, and build trust with senior stakeholders across the business

You're T-Shaped

Your deep vertical is product design, UX, and design systems. But you also speak the language of user research, accessibility, content design, and agile delivery - well enough to lead cross-functional teams, challenge thinking, and ensure everything ladders back to the user and the business.

You've got strong experience in complex enterprise environments, a portfolio that demonstrates real end-to-end thinking, and a genuine interest in inclusive, accessible design. A background in financial services or corporate banking? Even better.
