• Translate research findings into actionable insights that inform UX strategy and product decisions.
• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and other designers to shape the user experience of the new Avantra interface.
• Lead usability testing of legacy and new designs to ensure continuous improvement.
• Help define and implement a Continuous Discovery process, including tools, methods, and routines for insight management.
• Design wireframes, user flows, and low-fidelity prototypes as needed to explore and communicate ideas.
• Document and share research insights in a structured, accessible manner for cross-functional use.
• Advocate for user-centric design principles and foster empathy for end users across the organisation.

• Experience working on complex platforms or legacy software transformation projects.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage both internal and external stakeholders.
• Comfortable managing your own workload, with a high degree of autonomy and initiative.
• Familiarity with tools such as Figma, Miro, Dovetail (or similar), and analytics platforms.
