Intern, UX Design

About us @Symphony

We’ve spent the last 10 years building a communication and markets technology company, powered by interconnected platforms: messaging, voice, directory and analytics. Over 1000 institutions use our modular technology built for global finance. Security is in our DNA with uncompromising data protection, end-to-end encryption and resilient architecture, all created on a foundation of trust with our customers .

But that was only chapter one. We’re now building on our purpose-built network, expanding AI-powered, real-time collaboration, redefining flexibility with fully cloud-native software with our trader voice product, and rethinking the industry’s approach to identity verification, connection and intelligence. .

The opportunity and our ambition are huge. But we need passionate, dedicated individuals to get there. At Symphony we work hard and fast. Our unique blend of technology and financial services makes it an environment you won't get elsewhere.

Role description:

Symphony’s success relies heavily on our ability to deliver intuitive, fabulous user experiences to raise the bar for elegance and efficiency in business communication. To accomplish this, we need an extraordinary user experience and product design organisation that’s hardworking, insightful, and excited to tackle huge challenges. That’s where you come in. We're looking for a creative and detail focused Senior Product Designer with product design experience focused across the back-end and application side of Symphony’s offering.

You’ll be a maker, a doer, and someone passionate to continue developing new skills.

Our ideal candidate is a design generalist and interaction design expert who is as comfortable hashing out big-picture workflows and strategy as they are prototyping detailed visual and interaction execution.

As part of your application, we require a portfolio showing your recent work, highlighting relevant abilities and experiences. We’d like to see how you work, think, collaborate and contribute to great design outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Solve design problems end-to-end, from identifying user needs and business goals, generating multiple concepts, crafting interactions and UI details, and handing off designs to other team members
• Organise and deliver design-thinking led workshops
• Clearly explain and justify design decisions
• Provide input to determine user research activities
• Collaborate with cross functional partners and peers
• Mentor junior designers through feedback and guidance

Qualifications:

• Eager to learn and collaborate with various departments in the company.
• A solutions-oriented design approach.
• Confidence when articulating rationales and presenting designs.
• Basic knowledge with contemporary design methods and prototyping tools like Penpot or Figma.
• Proficiency in English.

Benefits:

• Gain practice in user experience design for Fintech applications.

• Receive mentorship and guidance from experienced UX professionals.
• Learn skills to problem-solve and communicate solutions.
