Job description

Finance Transformation spans a growing portfolio of tools and workstreams, each built by a different team, at a different time, with different assumptions about how the interface should work. You will change that, building the system and standards every future FT application is designed against. 6+ years of experience with complex concepts and designs through sketches, wireframes, high-fidelity comps, and prototypes using industry stand tools (Figma) and AI (Claude) Portfolio demonstrating design system work, cross-product UX consistency, and speak to your use of rapid AI-assisted prototyping. Bachelor's degree in UX Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) or a related field Present a portfolio demonstrating design system work, cross-product UX consistency, and speak to your use of rapid AI-assisted prototyping. You clearly communicate complex concepts and designs through sketches, wireframes, high-fidelity comps, and prototypes using industry standard tools (Figma) and AI-assisted prototyping tools. Proven experience designing and shipping a design system used across multiple products, not just a single app via component library. Experience in designing dashboards, data-dense interfaces and financial charting. Strong point of view on typography, layout, color, and spacing, with the ability to translate a brand language into a working system. A pattern-oriented mindset: able to identify when different products solve the same problem differently and unify them. Comfortable moving between system-level thinking and pixel-level execution. Fluent across audiences: able to discuss specs and behavior with engineers, and speak to impact and value with end users who don't think in design terms. Experience working across multiple teams at once, adapting to different timelines and priorities without losing consistency. Strong track record of managing up, keeping leadership informed on status and risk without being prompted. Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of ambiguous, cross-team problems. You are comfortable with working independently and cross-functionally in a multi-disciplinary design and technical environment. You possess exceptional problem-solving skills, keen attention to detail, and the adaptability to pivot quickly to new inputs or priorities. You excel in written and verbal communication, and can present and defend your work effectively to large groups and leadership.
