About our team:

The UX Design team is the largest team within Design & Research, consisting of eight highly talented individuals (and growing) with diverse and complementary interests and skill sets. Over the past few years, the team has experienced significant growth, creating a dynamic and exciting environment where there is ample opportunity for personal and professional development.

Each designer is embedded in a specific product team as part of a product trio, where we prioritise user-centric design and contribute to the product vision. But, even though we have 2 UX Design teams, we still organise ourselves as one UX Design practice to ensure consistency across all of our solutions, collaborate on design challenges, and provide valuable feedback to one another when a second opinion is needed. We believe that our team's strength lies in our ability to work together and offer a critical eye to each other’s designs, rather than working in isolation.

As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work with highly talented and passionate UX designers, while contributing to the success of our products and the satisfaction of our users.
