| Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement | • Work hand‑in‑hand with Product Managers, Engineers, Data Scientists, and Compliance teams to align design with product strategy. • Present concepts, research insights, and usability findings to senior leadership and external partners. • Serve as the user advocate throughout the product lifecycle. |
| UX Strategy & Continuous Improvement | • Contribute to the evolution of our UX strategy, ensuring it supports both product goals and regulatory constraints. • Refine design processes, workflows, and hand‑off practices to increase speed and quality. • Apply Agile/Lean methodologies to iterate rapidly based on data and feedback. |
| Usability & User Research | • Plan and support usability testing, user interviews, and surveys. • Synthesize qualitative & quantitative insights into actionable design recommendations. • Embed accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) and inclusive design principles into every deliverable. |
| Project Ownership | • Lead design projects from discovery through launch, managing timelines, resources, and quality standards. • Ensure brand consistency across all digital touchpoints. • Mentor junior designers and foster a culture of design excellence. |
