The Senior UX Designer is a key contributor within the Experience Design team, working closely with strategists, product owners, visual designers, creative directors, researchers, copywriters, developers, and client stakeholders.  

This role is suited to someone with 5+ years of experience who can independently own significant UX activities within a workstream, while collaborating with senior leads on larger or more complex initiatives.

The role operates across three core dimensions: Thinking, Interaction, and Storytelling.

Set foundations for a design system and help visual design document the interface to pixel-perfection.

Storytelling: Narrative & Content Design    

Shape user-centered narratives and content hierarchies that align business goals, brand ambition, and user needs, translating research insights into compelling journeys and experience concepts. 

Contribute to UX writing and interface content where appropriate — navigation labels, calls to action, onboarding, microcopy, form guidance, and instructional content.  

Partner with copywriters, content strategists, brand teams, and creative disciplines to craft cohesive experiences that help users understand products, services, and value propositions.

Collaboration & Delivery 

Partner with product, strategy, technology, and client stakeholders throughout the design process. 

Present UX rationale, concepts, and recommendations clearly and confidently.
