• Familiarity working in a complex landscape – ideally, you\'ll have experience in financial services
• A collaborative mindset to work closely and quickly with a multi-disciplinary team
• Strong ability to see designs through to delivery – communicating with developers to ensure designs meet specifications and can be used by a broad range of users of all backgrounds, ages and abilities
• Strong advocacy of customer inclusivity and accessibility

About Working For Us

We’re disability confident. So if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.
