This role requires someone who can confidently balance user needs, business objectives, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations while producing clear, effective content experiences within digital channels.
Key Responsibilities
- Design clear, user-focused content and experiences for employer-facing digital journeys.
- Work within agile, multidisciplinary product teams to define priorities, shape solutions, and deliver customer value.
- Create and maintain content designs and user journeys using Figma.
- Collaborate closely with UX Designers, Researchers, Service Designers, Product Owners, and Engineers.
- Facilitate workshops and stakeholder discussions to gather requirements and drive alignment.
- Document current and future-state customer experiences and service journeys.
- Use research findings, customer insight, and design thinking methodologies to inform decisions.
- Communicate effectively with senior stakeholders and manage competing perspectives.
