• Help own and evolve our design system — components, tokens, documentation, and governance — keeping it scalable as the product grows.
• Design end-to-end user experiences across our core product suite, from early concepts through to pixel-perfect specs.
• Lead developer handover with precision: annotating designs, defining interaction states, edge cases, and responsive behaviour so engineers have everything they need.
• Partner closely with frontend engineers, establishing shared standards and a shared language between design and code.
• Audit and maintain component consistency across the product, identifying gaps and deprecating what no longer serves us.
• Contribute to design critiques, help grow design culture, and mentor mid-level designers on the team.
• Work with product managers and researchers to turn complex financial workflows into experiences that feel simple and trustworthy.

• A solid understanding of how components are built in code (you don't need to write it, but you need to speak the language).
• Experience designing for regulated or data-heavy products — fintech, banking, or similar is a strong plus.

• A portfolio that demonstrates systems thinking alongside strong visual craft.
