• Demonstrable experience working cross-functionally across the entire product development cycle, from ideation to implementation and iteration.
• You can identify problems and opportunities, your favourite question is “why?”. You use quantitative and qualitative insights as well as customers and internal teams interviews to inform a problem space, prove or disprove hypotheses and evaluate user experience
• You have experience facilitating the creation of a shared vision and approach for new product and features, creating alignment and driving projects to completion
• You are comfortable communicating internally, up, out and down to gather feedback and onboard others in your design approach
• You have contributed to the creation, maintenance and evolution of a design system

Person Specification

• You are self-aware and able to collaborate cross-functionally, functionally, across teams and departments, caring to build trust and long-lasting relationships
• You are motivated by goals and outcomes, staying focused on the big picture while giving care to the details when necessary
• You iterate quickly, you seek, uncover and utilise data and user research to ensure you’re on the right path towards your goal
• You are a great communicator of design work and your rationales behind proposals, you empathise with your audience and adapt your communication style to them. You frame problems and solutions in a way that onboards others and guide your product team to deliver impactful work
• You are a facilitator, you use different facilitation techniques to gather different point of views and requirements, collaboratively ideate and create alignment
• You are always looking to improve yourself and to lift up others around you
