Senior Product Designer

About The RoleOur users are investment professionals around the world, working across multiple asset classes, sectors and regions. They rely on our products for news, data and analysis and networking, and they expect those products to be urgent, precise and rigorously curated.
We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to help us deliver that. It's a hands-on, craft-led role: UI first, backed by strong UX thinking. The impact goes beyond individual features, because you'll help shape how the whole organisation designs and builds products.
You’ll work on our design system. We need someone with deep design system experience to refine and extend what we already have, and to work closely with engineering so that what ships matches what was designed.
Beyond the system, you'll take product problems from start to finish: understanding what customers need, turning that into polished, intuitive interfaces, prototyping and testing ideas, and seeing them through to delivery. You'll present your work to senior leaders with confidence, backing each decision with clear reasoning.
AI is already changing how we work. We've moved quickly, building our own models to make the business more efficient, and we want a designer who sees that as an opportunity: someone keen to bring AI into the design process as our tools and practices evolve.
Your main responsibilities will include:

• Transformational Impact: Lead complex projects from concept through to delivery.
• System thinking: Contribute to the design language and system.
• Prototyping: Build functioning prototypes to test with customers, ensuring designs meet user needs.
• Collaboration: Work closely with product designers, UX researchers, BAs,
engineers, and product managers, as we embrace new processes and technology.
• Facilitation: Confidently run workshops and meetings to understand user needs and get stakeholder buy-in.
