This plays a pivotal role in shaping user-centred solutions that address the unique challenges of self-employed individuals and those who support them.

It's a fabulous opportunity to make your mark and join our team in the UK to be part of one of the world's leading finance solution providers.

The role - what you'll do

The day-to-day:

• Shape and deliver impactful product solutions by leading discovery and design efforts.
• Collaborate with the delivery team to define and execute the product roadmap, aligning with the team's objectives and north star metrics.
• Partner with key stakeholders across the business to ensure seamless collaboration and alignment.
• Adapt designs to account for regional differences, supporting rollouts in France and Canada/US.
• Use data and user insights to inform continuous product development, improving user experience across web and mobile platforms.
• Create, test, and iterate on concepts and prototypes, incorporating feedback from customers and stakeholders.
• Deliver high-quality, scalable UX solutions using design patterns and best practices from the Dext design system.
• Confidently manage stakeholders of all levels, leading workshops and collaborative sessions to drive problem-solving and alignment.

About you - what we are looking for

Below are our ideal requirements, but we hire on potential, not just on experience, and we know that some people are less likely to apply for a role if they don't meet 100% of the criteria. At Dext we are committed to cultivating a diverse, inclusive and empowering culture, so please apply if you meet the majority of these competencies.

We are looking for a designer who is curious, empathetic, and passionate about solving complex problems. You should have solid fintech experience and a deep understanding of customers, their needs, and how to deliver experiences that drive meaningful outcomes.

• 5+ years in user experience design and 3+ years working in the FinTech space.
• Familiarity with different requirements and user behaviour across different markets.
• Confident in discovery and experienced in using data and user insights to make the right design decisions, at the right time.
• Confident with agile practices.
• Excellent communication skills, with experience presenting and collaborating with C-level executives and senior stakeholders.
• Background in B2B SaaS, ideally with experience working alongside integration partners to deliver essential functionality.
• Familiarity with accounting practices or expense/ spend management will be a plus.

What you will be part of - our values, culture and behaviours

We are a highly ambitious, innovative, market-leading FinTech. We are a global, Private Equity backed business (HgCapital), but we have the dexterity and pace of a scale-up. We are uncompromising in our desire to achieve our best, day-in day-out, and we have three clear values which guide everything we do:

Be Brave - Everyone in the company has a voice to challenge ideas and the status quo.

Be Exceptional - We set high standards for ourselves. We aim to be exceptional at what we do.

Be Together - We are one team. There is no such thing as individual success without team success.

Our behaviours are how we practically live and breathe our values and are an essential part of life at Dext. Our behaviours guide us and inform how we communicate, collaborate and support each other. They are:

Be Diverse, be Courageous, be Considerate, be Transparent, be Focused, be Accountable, and above all, be Dexterous!

What we will give you - the perks

• Competitive salary.
• Flexible working.
• 25 days off plus bank holidays volunteering days, summer hours and a day off the week of your birthday.
• Employer-paid private medical insurance and health cash plan (Medicash - reloadable shopping cards, cinema ticket discounts, online discounts and more!).
