OVERVIEW

Each product has its own team made up of developers of different levels managed by a Product Director.

We share best practice and learning across our product teams. We work with our colleagues outside of development understanding the needs of our customers and their users. The Senior UI/UX Designer will ideally have 5 + years’ experience in visual user interface design and be responsible for overseeing all user experience and design aspects of organisations’ products.
