Job Description
At OM Bank, we strive to attract great people who are passionate about coming together for a higher purpose- building something unique and aspirational, always aiming to be the best they can be. We are rooted in our purpose of inspiring and enabling our customers to grow and sustain their prosperity.

We're looking for a UI Designer with a Design System specialisation to help scale and refine the bank's visual language across all digital touchpoints. This role sits at the heart of our design practice, ensuring our digital interfaces are consistent, accessible, and future-ready.

You'll collaborate closely with UX Designers, Developers, and Brand stakeholders to evolve our Design System into a robust, scalable foundation that supports product squads across the organisation.

This position suits a designer who thrives on structure, detail, and systems thinking. Someone who can balance visual craft with technical precision.

  • Maintain, evolve, and document the bank's multi-platform Design System (mobile & web).
  • Create and manage UI components, tokens, and styles within Figma, ensuring consistency and reusability.
  • Collaborate with UX Designers, Developers, and Brand teams to align visual and interaction patterns across platforms.
  • Audit product interfaces and identify opportunities for visual and structural consistency.
  • Partner with front-end teams to translate components into coded libraries, ensuring design fidelity.
  • Establish and enforce standards for accessibility, scalability, and brand alignment.
  • Support design squads in applying the system correctly and efficiently through guidance, reviews, and documentation.
  • Contribute to DesignOps improvements that streamline design-to-development workflows.
  • Maintain clear documentation of design rationale, usage guidelines, and version updates.

Role Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification in Graphic Design, UI Design, Interaction Design, or related field.
  • Minimum of 4 years of professional experience in UI or product design, preferably within digital product teams.
  • Proven experience in design systems management (portfolio or case study required).
  • Experience in banking, fintech, or enterprise-level applications is an advantage.
  • Advanced proficiency in Figma and familiarity with design tokens, variants, and component libraries.
  • Strong grasp of UI design principles including spacing, hierarchy, colour, typography, and accessibility.
  • Demonstrated experience building or maintaining a Design System at product scale.
  • Understanding of design/development collaboration, including handoff best practices and version control.
  • Ability to maintain pixel-perfect visual quality while ensuring components are scalable and efficient.
  • Understanding of responsive design and platform-specific patterns (iOS, Android, Web).
  • Exposure to front-end concepts (HTML, CSS, React or Flutter) is advantageous.
