• Design System Ownership & Governance: Architect, audit, and maintain the Pixel Design Language and its scalable component library in Figma, ensuring long-term visual consistency and efficiency across all products.
• User Research & Optimisation: Conduct user research, create detailed flows, wireframes, and prototypes to champion user-centred design principles, continuously optimising complex system interactions based on testing, data, and feedback loops.
• AI Integration & Innovation: Be at the forefront of integrating AI and machine learning concepts into new customer-facing products, actively enhancing the user experience and utilising AI tools to optimise your own design workflows.
• Collaboration & Quality Assurance (QA): Serve as the central design point, articulating rationale to stakeholders and working collaboratively with the Product Manager and Development teams. This includes performing meticulous design QA to ensure implemented features meet precise design specifications before sign-off.
