Product/UX Designer

A leading global investment firm is hiring a Product/UX Designer to help shape intuitive, accessible digital experiences across their European public websites for retail & professional investors.

In this role, you’ll be working in a specific value stream within their customer’s end to end lifecycle and you’ll be collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team (Product Manager, Content Designer, Data analysts, UX researchers, scrum teams). Your job will involve understanding what their customers need/want and, in collaboration with other designer, solve problems and design sensible experiences.

This role is focused on their European public websites for professional and retail investors. The purpose of our websites is to increase awareness of their brand and investment principles and to attract, engage and educate end investors, financial advisors and wealth managers. Experience in the investment space (particularly targeted to professionals) is therefore preferred.

Your Design skills

• You’re familiar with WCAG 2.2 and the broader practice of accessible and inclusive design. An accessibility certification is ideal.
• You are familiar with the gov.uk content guidelines.
• You’re comfortable working with Design Systems (Storybook & Figma) and readily able to build prototypes & designs from these building blocks
• You’re familiar (and ideally experienced) with AEM or other CMS.
• You understand that consistency is important but also that, at times, breaking away from it is necessary.
• You contribute to research activities by helping with research plans, discussion guide, build prototypes and insight synthesis. You can also conduct usability tests.
• You autonomously drive the production of design work and lead the sign-off process with business stakeholders, legal and compliance
• You proactively engage with your immediate stakeholder group (Marketing, Content Management, other designers) but also other relevant SMEs (legal, compliance, business strategy, sales, etc)
• You engage with the Content and Design practice through show and tell and contribute to the betterment of the Design craft as a whole.
• You’re highly proficient in Figma – this is their workspace and where you’ll need to execute all design work.

Your Designer skills

• As their team is lean, you’re able to work on multiple projects at the same time and are comfortable with content-switching
• You are a UI perfectionist and ensure the design matches the end experience
• You’re an adaptable designer and you’re able to flex your ways of working depending on the nature of projects and the team you work with (mixture of proactive and reactive work)
• You’re able to work autonomously, you know what to do without being given specific tasks

Experience

• Proven experience designing for CMS-based websites.
• Experience in asset management highly preferred.
• You will be working on websites in different European languages (German, Spanish, Italian, French, with more to come). As such, fluency in one of those languages (particularly German) is highly preferred.
