## Description

We're hedgehog lab, a digital product consultancy building products that do good and get results. Our design team works heavily in financial services, particularly fintech and wealth, alongside healthtech and insurtech.

This role needs someone who has designed for financial services before. You'll be working on regulated products where trust, clarity and compliance shape every decision, so we need that experience from day one.

What's in it for you

 * Real autonomy and a strong design voice. You'll shape journeys, interfaces and outcomes, not just tickets.
 * Meaningful work on a portfolio of products with social value and measurable impact.
 * Modern craft. Contemporary tooling, rapid testing and iteration are baked in.

What you'll do

 * Own end-to-end product design on web-first projects: flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI and polished prototypes.
 * Prototype fast in Figma and validate with users and stakeholders before build.
 * Create and evolve design systems, from setup through documentation and governance.
 * Facilitate workshops, stakeholder interviews, usability tests and C-suite playbacks.
 * Partner closely with product, engineering and research to ship outcomes.
