Specific Knowledge/Skills:

• Collaborative, user-centred mindset, with ability to co-create with stakeholders across business, product, and tech.

• Experience facilitating workshops using Design Thinking methods to uncover user pain points and shape solutions.

• A passion for data-driven decision-making and ability to root design decisions in a profound understanding of the user – experience with hands-on research is a plus
