• • You will take ownership of the creation and cohesive integration of visual styles and reusable components, forming the backbone of our burgeoning design system. This involves meticulously crafting and maintaining design system styles and libraries within Figma, ensuring consistency and scalability across all our digital products.
• • A core aspect of your responsibility will be to measure and validate design decisions through direct engagement with team experts and, crucially, with our customers. This iterative process of user research and feedback integration will ensure that our designs are not just theoretical but are grounded in real-world usability and user needs.

This requires a strong rationale and the ability to articulate the benefits of such deviations.
• • You will actively solicit reactions, requirements, and recommendations from both internal team experts and external customers. This proactive approach to gathering feedback is vital for continuous improvement and for refining the look and functionality of our UI.
• • We encourage you to challenge and improve the practice of Design within the team. This includes staying abreast of prevailing patterns, emerging trends, and the innovative application of AI techniques in design and prototyping.
