As a Experience Design Senior Associate within the Global Private Bank Design Studio, you will own the end-to-end design of meaningful product experiences, from problem framing through polished, accessible delivery. You will work as a core member of a Product, Technology, Design triad, contributing hands-on to complex challenges while raising the craft and thinking of the team around you. This is a role for a designer who works independently, communicates with clarity, and cares deeply about outcomes and not just outputs.
Job Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end design across complex features and flows, from discovery and problem framing through interaction design, prototyping, and handoff-ready delivery
- Apply design systems accurately and consistently; address primary flows, edge cases, and error states without being prompted
- Act as the voice of the user, ground decisions in research and analytics, push back constructively when user outcomes are at risk, and incorporate accessibility into every solution
- Partner with Product and Technology peers, communicate rationale clearly, surface trade-offs early, and maintain alignment through delivery without creating friction
- Seek and integrate feedback actively, distinguish preference from outcome-driven input, iterate with depth, and close the loop on how input was addressed
- Contribute to team craft, share learnings, support peers through critique and feedback, and introduce tools or methods that improve how the team works
- Explore and apply AI tools thoughtfully to improve design quality and workflow efficiency, while keeping fundamentals grounded
Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:
- 5+ years of product design experience with a portfolio demonstrating strong craft across complex, multi-state user experiences
- Hands-on proficiency across the full design process, research synthesis, interaction design, visual design, and developer-ready handoff
- Deep working knowledge of Figma and digital accessibility standards
- Proven experience working within enterprise design systems
- Clear communicator, structures rationale well, tailors messaging for Product, Tech, and leadership audiences, and anticipates questions before they're asked
- Systems thinker, designs with awareness of how decisions connect across flows, surfaces, and product goals
- Flexible to work outside normal business hours to accommodate communications with international colleagues.
Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:
- Experience in financial services, wealth management, or a similarly complex, regulated domain
- Hands-on experience with AI-assisted design workflows (research synthesis, rapid prototyping, content generation) and a considered view on when and how to use them
- Experience in or alongside user research, usability testing, synthesis, translating findings into design decisions
- Familiarity with front-end constraints and how design decisions affect engineering implementation
- A track record of contributing beyond your immediate scope, improving team workflows, contributing to design system documentation, or elevating how a team critiques and iterates
