You'll be part of the Consumer design team, and work closely with our Japan Product Team.

The Japan product team focuses on small and big wins for the Japanese market. So understanding the market is a huge benefit. You will also closely work with the consumer apps, merchant tools and our operational tooling side, so knowledge of mobile and understanding of the web is preferable.

You'll be paired with a UX Designer, and collaborate with a multidisciplinary product management, design, data, and engineering team to deliver thoughtful and polished design work that is world class.

Qualifications

• Strong expertise in UI Design for digital products – mobile & web design experience is valuable


• Understanding of local culture and hopefully also japanese language


• You have an eye for detail and vision for world-class interfaces


• You have experience working with design systems, with ability to work creatively, building your own components outside of the design system when the experience calls for it


• You have excellent collaboration skills – you have experience of working together creatively with other designers, and cross-disciplinarily with product managers, engineers, UX researchers and copywriters


• You are fantastic at communicating your thinking and design decisions – you’re able to get the multiple stakeholders whose attention your work will receive along on the journey with you.

We don’t expect you to tick all of these boxes – if you are passionate about the role please apply! 💪🏼
