About the role

At Capital One, we’re committed to developing innovative, inclusive and intuitive product experiences to help our customers succeed with credit. 

We’re looking for a passionate, dynamic user interface designer to infuse design and progressive best practices into our growing business. Experience isn’t everything here, we want to see applications from those with a natural flair for creating beautiful interfaces and interactions to keep pushing the boundaries of what we deliver for our customers. 

You’ll be someone looking to join an experienced group of UX, UI and Content designers, contributing to the strategic design and product direction in our customer outcomes space.

We’re all part of wider outcome teams, each with dedicated Designers, Product Managers and Engineers. These outcome teams sit across key journey touchpoints in a customer’s life-cycle with us.

What you’ll do

• Deliver work that spans all project phases, from concept and design through to production (this will range from sketches right through to production-ready assets)

• Explore a variety of visual design directions in a rapid, iterative environment, incorporating feedback from the design team and wider stakeholders

• Be a brand guardian and influence the application of our visual language whilst being an advocate for great design

• Support ideation sessions and workshops to develop ideas that address both customer and business needs

• Use your visual thinking to help team members across disciplines understand, frame and solve real business problems. 

• Partner closely with engineering teams and collaborate during the development process to get your solution into the hands of the user

• Grow our Capital One Design System, Plastic, expanding our capabilities and pushing for consistency.

What we’re looking for

• A portfolio that exhibits your creative potential across a variety of platforms (eg. Mobile, web). We’d love to see examples of how you’ve creatively responded to a complex brief, or challenging user problem.

• Experience in Figma.

• Creative storytelling and illustration skills.

• Proven expertise in UI and visual design, with pixel-level attention to detail. An eye for typography, colour, layout, and brand identity.

• Experience working with interactive content (e.g. responsive layouts, mobile app, etc) and proficiency in creating production-ready artwork and assets.

• Animation and interaction design experience is a plus.
