About this opportunity
We’re part of the Segments & Propositions Platform, focused on delivering new or enhanced propositions for underserved customer segments within the bank. Our work is predominantly app focused, across the three main brands, together serving over 20 million customers across the three banking apps. The design team works closely with product, analytics and engineering to solve problems for customers—researching, crafting and delivering new and innovative propositions and features. It’s an exciting time, as we’re broadening our offering to build deeper, more valuable relationships, and are expanding the team in the Goals and Planning space. We have a unique opportunity, with the breadth of products and services that LBG offers, to help customers achieve their savings goals and future aspirations. And perhaps with the right financial education, engagement and empathy, even achieve those aims faster.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll lean towards the discovery and UX side of the product design spectrum, designing the app experience for Goals and Planning propositions.

You’ll work closely with the rest of the design squad, proactively communicating, contributing ideas, and challenging each other’s thinking. You’ll live in Figma and Figjam. Whiteboard sessions, wireframing and prototyping are your bread and butter. You’ll enjoy and contribute towards a bold, positive and inclusive team culture. You’ll be equally comfortable running a stakeholder call to share a new concept, being head-down working on a new flow, or listening in to a usability test with a customer.
