Role summary

- Organise and moderate remote or in-person usability tests; synthesize feedback into actionable design iterations
- Work with PMs and Engineers to ensure designs ship with pixel-perfect fidelity and optimal performance on both web (React) and mobile (React Native).
- Establish and evolve design systems, accessibility standards and usability guidelines across the product.
- Define UX metrics (task completion, time on task, NPS) and track impact of design changes.

- Accessible and Inclusive Design Expertise
- Mobile-first, Systematic Design Thinking
- Rapid Iteration & Hypothesis-driven Design
