UX Lead

UX Lead

Location: Singapore

Leading the Design Systems team, you will drive the team to execute against your vision to deliver a distinctive and own-able experience for the brand across platforms. Your principles are rooted in the fundamentals of print and visual design where you use typography, spacing and colour to deliver clear content hierarchy and will push the traditional conventions of digital layouts.

What makes you unique

Build high-functioning UX teams

Leading design teams is your passion. You bring the same curiosity and focus you have for understanding customers and building product to the craft of developing high-performance teams. You continuously help teams become more capable of solving complex problems and delivering thoughtful solutions.

Deliver high-quality products

You guide your teams through the process of transforming customer knowledge into compelling product features and services. You thoughtfully define problem spaces enabling the team to solve critical customer and business challenges. Your in-depth understanding of human-centered design methods, design thinking techniques, and tools allow you to coach teams through the process of planning, navigating trade-offs, and creating meaningful customer experiences.

Deepen customer knowledge

You hold a fundamental belief that understanding customer needs creates the opportunity for product innovation and drives business outcomes. You do not assume that you understand customer needs; instead, you ensure that the team is continuously validating their assumptions with customers, staying connected to customer sentiment and satisfaction, and ensuring that the customer is present in every design choice.

Design maven

You advocate for the purpose and value of design thinking and user research in the product design process across the organization. You help others understand how design delivers business results by creating innovative and meaningful product experiences for our customers. You seek to demystify UX processes, methods, and activities to increase the impact of the UX practice. You ensure your teams are well equipped and empowered to achieve their best results.
