We're currently recruiting for a User Experience Designer to join a high performing trading technology team at a leading investment bank. The successful person will help shape and implement the design philosophy across a complex data rich trading environment, turning intricate workflows into intuitive, efficient user experiences.

The Opportunity

You'll play a key role in defining how users interact with sophisticated internal platforms. Working closely with product managers, engineers, and business stakeholders, you'll lead the design of end-to-end journeys and interaction models that bring clarity to complex systems.

As part of a newly formed team, you'll also have the opportunity to influence design standards, tooling, and best practices from the ground up.

This is a predominantly UX-focused role, with some involvement in product and visual design where appropriate.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead end-to-end user journey design across complex trading platforms
  • Facilitate and deliver journey mapping and workflow mapping
  • Define clear, scalable interaction models for multi-step processes
  • Simplify dense information and operational workflows
  • Produce wireframes, prototypes, and UX documentation
  • Collaborate closely with product and engineering in an agile environment
  • Advocate for user-centred design principles across stakeholders

What We're Looking For

  • Strong background in UX design for complex data intensive systems
  • Proven experience in user journeys, service mapping, and interaction design
  • Ability to translate business and technical requirements into intuitive experiences
  • Confident communicator comfortable working with senior and technical stakeholders
  • Exposure to product design and visual design fundamentals
  • Experience in banking or financial services is beneficial, but not essential

Tools & Ways of Working

  • Experience with modern design and prototyping tools (eg, Figma, Sketch or similar)
  • Comfortable using collaboration and journey mapping tools (eg, Miro, Mural or equivalent)
  • Familiarity working within agile product delivery environments
