- Managing competing priorities and scope to protect MVP delivery
Essential skills and experience:
- Strong stakeholder engagement, communication and relationship management skills
- Analytical, detail-oriented approach to complex technical information
- Ability to manage scope and maintain focus on project objectives
- Advanced Figma skills — design systems, component creation, prototyping
- Strong user-centred design capability, with hands-on research and usability testing experience
- Outcomes-focused, with strong research-to-design translation skills
- 3–4+ years' Product Design experience
- Experience on complex products/services involving multiple user groups, workflows, business rules, approvals, exceptions and integrations
