The Opportunity

This is an opportunity for a hands-on Senior UX/UI/Service Designer to play a pivotal role in a major digital integration program, helping transform multiple advisor, customer, member and partner experiences into a unified, scalable ecosystem. With a critical first phase of delivery targeted within the next six months, we're looking for someone who can hit the ground running and take ownership of design outcomes across a large-scale portal consolidation initiative. You'll work closely with stakeholders across Product, Technology, CX, Marketing and Operations, leading design conversations, applying strong UX and service design principles, and ensuring consistent, accessible and user-centred experiences throughout a fast-moving transformation program.

This role is ideal for a designer who thrives in a dynamic, agency-style environment where priorities can shift, stakeholder engagement is constant, and creativity is highly valued. While the initial focus will be on integration and rationalisation work, there is significant opportunity to contribute to future digital experiences across retirement, wealth and insurance products, including customer journeys, campaign concepts, educational content, RFP responses and innovative digital propositions. You'll bring expertise in modern UX/UI design, design systems, accessibility standards and human-centred design practices, while confidently balancing user needs, business objectives and regulatory considerations.

We're seeking a collaborative and commercially minded designer with strong communication skills,



a proactive leadership style and a portfolio that demonstrates both strategic thinking and visual creativity. Experience within financial services or other highly regulated industries will be highly regarded, as will exposure to digital transformation and platform migration programs. In return, you'll enjoy significant autonomy, flexibility, variety and the opportunity to influence meaningful customer experiences during an exciting period of growth and change

- Influence the organisation's digital evolution by advocating for human-centred design, leading design discussions and helping shape the future experience for customers in a rapidly changing and highly regulated environment.

- Proven experience delivering UX, UI and/or service design outcomes across complex digital products, platforms, portals or customer-facing experiences, with a portfolio that showcases both strategic thinking and visual creativity.
