About this opportunity:
We launched the Dundee Tech School in November 2023 with the first cohort of 12 Junior Developers who underwent a 20-week Engineering training programme before joining their business teams under supervision of the Tech School Lead. Following its’ success, we’re now looking to recruit approx. 20 more roles that will make up 2 teams to deliver our Gamification initiative.
As part of our Dundee based Tech School cohort, you will be supported in upskilling through a structured 9-week training programme before becoming an integral part of a feature team within our Customer Waterfront Lab evolving our Digital Channels.
This new opportunity is to join our Experience Design team and help us take on an exciting challenge to create gamified experiences that inspire people across the UK to secure their financial future.
Using gamification techniques and approaches, you'll be responsible for designing new ways to engage and motivate people so they can make positive changes in their lives.
We're looking for creative, passionate and self-motivated design candidates with expertise in Interaction Design who are familiar with gamification and can apply that to an in-app setting. Experience in mentoring and coordinating work for others is key to the role.
Working as part of a new, fast-paced team, you'll be expected to continuously learn about the latest theory of behaviour change and game mechanics, so you can help us stay one step ahead of the competition.
This is a unique opportunity to improve the journeys in which we engage our millions of customers, while supporting them with the right products, tools, and services.
As an Interaction Designer, it’ll be your role to:
Skilfully craft the end-to-end user experience, bringing together a cohesive journey step by step, creatively using components from a central design system to figure out the right balance of content and UI (User Interface) elements on screen
Bring designs to life with a choice of prototyping software, such as Sketch / InVision / Figma / Axure / Adobe XD
Balance business requirements with user needs – you'll be gathering user research and rationale to align stakeholders on individual user needs. You’ll know when to diplomatically push back, if necessary, to act on what’s right for the customer
Be adaptable to the technical constraints of different platforms yet still be able to give guidance on creating the best possible end user experience
Advocate customer inclusion – what it means to make an inclusive and accessible design to be used by customers of a wide range of ages, backgrounds and technical abilities
What you'll need:
Demonstrable experience within User Experience design/Interaction Design
Strong experience as an Interaction Designer, UX Designer (or possibly from a Visual Design background)
Familiar with gamification and can apply that to an in-app setting.
Full ownership of the Interaction Design project
Excellent prototyping and layout skills which they can articulate clearly to internal customers and development teams
Comfortable using existing design systems, proactively recommending new ways to improve and extend them to benefit both the project and other designers
Ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative research, and how this informs the interaction design process. We have dedicated user research teams supporting designers on real data, providing a great wealth of customer insights.
Familiarity working in a complex landscape – ideally, you’ll have experience in financial services
A collaborative mindset to work closely and quickly with a multi-disciplinary team
Strong ability to see designs through to delivery – communicating with developers to ensure designs meet specifications and can be used by a broad range of users of all backgrounds, ages and abilities
Strong advocacy of customer inclusivity and accessibility
