Job description

We are looking for a Senior UI/UX Designer to help define how RUUT looks, feels and worksacross our digital ecosystem.

This is not a role about producing screens from predefined requirements.

We want you to challenge those requirements. To ask whether a journey needs seven steps when it could have three. To find simplicity inside complex financial and regulatory processes. And to help us create experiences thatcustomers don’t need to learn how to use.

Working alongside Product, Technology and Business teams, you will influence propositions from the earliestidea through to the experience that reaches the customer.

You will also play a key role in creating and evolving the RUUT Design System - building a designlanguage capable of scaling across products, platforms and markets.

What you will own

· Design intuitive, elegant and high-performing experiences across iOS, Android and web

· Own end-to-end customer journeys - from discovery and early concepts through prototypes and production-ready UI

· Build, evolve and help govern the RUUT Design System

· Turn complex banking, payments and regulatory requirements into remarkably simple experiences

· Partner closely with Product Managers and engineers from problem definition through delivery

· Challenge assumptions and help shape product requirements rather than simply receiving them

· Prototype rapidly to explore, communicate and validate new propositions

· Conduct user research, usability testing and structured customer feedback

· Combine customer insight, behavioural data and design judgement to continuously improve experiences

· Create consistency across consumer and business products while accommodating different markets and customer needs

· Champion accessibility, usability and mobile-first design

· Help establish the design principles and ways of working that will support RUUT as it scales

Requirements

We care about how you think as much as what you have designed.

· A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional digital product thinking

· At least 5 years of experience

· Proven experience designing sophisticated mobile-first products

· Advanced expertise in Figma, including components, variants, auto-layout and prototyping

· Strong experience building and evolving scalable design systems

· Excellent interaction, visual and information architecture skills

· Deep understanding of mobile-first and responsive product design

· Strong knowledge of Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines and Google’s Material Design

· Experience partnering closely with iOS, Android and web engineering teams

· Practical experience with user research, usability testing and iterative product development

· Strong understanding of accessibility and inclusive design

· The ability to simplify complex workflows without sacrificing functional depth

· Confidence working across Product, Technology and Business

· The ability to move comfortably between strategic product thinking and pixel-level execution

· An ownership mindset and confidence to challenge decisions constructively

Experience in fintech, banking, payments, cards or other regulated digital products is valuable. Experience working in the UK market is an advantage.

What you’ll get

Beyond the benefits, we think the real value of this opportunity is impact.

· Real ownership of key parts of the RUUT customer experience

· Early influence on product decisions

· Direct access to Product, Technology and Business leadership

· Freedom to challenge existing ideas and improve ways of working

· Opportunity to build a design capability from the ground up

· Exposure to diverse products, customers and European market, You will be able to look back at RUUT’s product years from now and recognise the decisions you helped make when it was still being shaped.
