WHAT WE'D LOVE YOU TO DO (AND LOVE DOING)

• You'll work with cross-functional teams to deliver against the design vision and strategy for our B2B multichannel offering in ZEOS, delivering coherent experiences for our merchants and their end customers.

• You'll lead stakeholders and team members towards innovative solutions through design thinking workshops and design sprints.

• You'll generate multiple solutions to complex design challenges, evaluate which to pursue further, and leverage technology to improve experiences, ensuring your designs are technically feasible, scalable, accessible and compliant.

You'll contribute to problem definition through storyboards, press releases, and holistic customer journeys that product managers and other designers draw from.

• You will jointly plan and participate in research together with researchers and product managers, shaping quantitative and qualitative data to support two key areas: assessing new problem spaces and evaluating design solutions as a core part of the iterative validation process.

• You'll validate and refine concepts with internal and external stakeholders, including actual merchants and end users.

• You'll lead by example, role-modelling user-centred design practices and producing high-quality work regardless of the size of the task.
