Job Description

Business Function As the leading bank in Asia, DBS Consumer Banking Group is in a unique position to help our customers realise their dreams and ambitions. As a market leader in the consumer banking business, DBS has a full spectrum of products and services, including deposits, investments, insurance, mortgages, credit cards and personal loans, to help our customers realise their dreams and aspirations at every life stage. Our financial solutions are not only the best in the business \xe2\x80\x93 they were made just right for you. What you\'ll be doing You\'ll spend most of your time trying to simplify very complex products and ideas. It may be an uphill battle, but it\'s worth it. If you succeed, your designs will be experienced by millions and solve real-life problems. We say that, if you can work in a bank, you can work anywhere. Don\'t worry, we\'re a nice bunch of people. Around here, we go out of our way to help one another \xe2\x9d\xa4\xef\xb8\x8f. Here\'s what your week might look like

• You\'ll spend time with our wonderful research team. Together you\'ll translate user insights into tangible designs that address customer needs while meeting the business goals of the project.
• More often than not, You\'ll check on the latest relevant data to get a better understanding of the problem and meet the stakeholders to redefine the problem statement.
• Once you know where you\'re going, it\'s time to tackle the behemoth tech systems and legal restrictions of a bank. Your product manager will become your best friend. You\'ll message the tech lead more than your parents. You\'ll get a crash course in finance law.
• We want to hire people who have opinions, believe in their ideas and are willing to fight for them. But we also want people who can recognise when a better argument or solution is put before them. All of us participate in user testing, and so will you.
• Produce work you are proud of. This is where your craft comes in. Depending on the demands of the project, you should be familiar with creating user journey maps, service design blueprints, work on information architecture, produce wireframes and clickable prototypes for user validation sessions.
• We do respect the privacy of people with headphones-on, trying to avoid eye contact. So you\'ll have the time to focus on your stuff.
• Like we said, producing good work is not good enough if it doesn\'t get built. You will meet stakeholders from different departments and articulate your ideas so clearly that you\'ll become an honorary Toastmaster.
• Before you know it, it will be Friday and time for team dinner, drinks or Creative Day (we do something fun and creative together once a month).

Here are the experience and skills we\'d love you to have

• We have senior and junior positions. Let us know what kind of role you\'re looking for when you apply.
• You can brainstorm the next big thing one moment and still tweak pixels right before launch.
• You have the ability to prioritise (you don\'t focus on illustrations if the UX looks like a love child between Frankenstein and Krusty the Clown).
• You work smart and are ready to improve processes.
• You have enough curiosity to stay savvy about industry and UX trends.
• You have confidence in your ideas and the ability to communicate them clearly.
• You follow through\xe2\x80\x94when built, your designs actually look and work like they should. You monitor products after launch and are ready to suggest improvements.
• You have a burning desire to make things better and don\xe2\x80\x99t accept non-answers like \xe2\x80\x9cthat\xe2\x80\x99s just the way it has always been\xe2\x80\x9d.

Bonus points

• You actively contribute to the UX community.
• You\'re kind of a behavioural science geek.
• You have personal pet projects you work on for fun in your free time.
• To be considered, a detailed portfolio demonstrating your design thinking and thought process is required at application.

Your team and career You will be working closely with stakeholders and fellow designers within DBS Institutional Banking Group (IBG).

Depending on your career aspirations, you can continue to grow by pursuing perfection in your craft as an individual contributor or take on managerial responsibilities as a design manager.

About the design team Hi, we are the DBS user experience design team We create digital products that deserve to be built because they solve real problems in an impactful way with empathy. How we design We go beyond numbers Every dollar means something. No one actually wants money. We want what it can give us. So we acknowledge that money is not really about money. We inject emotion into our products to go from transactional to magical. We have one profound idea Because ambiguity is the enemy of good user experience. What is our unique value proposition?
