You’ll work closely with other design disciplines to thoroughly understand your audience and their needs in order to create accessible, useful signposting and information across products and services. You will help other teams in their creation and maintenance of content, ensuring they understand best practice for content accessibility.

You will take an active and engaged role in the iterative design and development process, providing expertise in content and help to develop and add to a new design system as well as content style guidelines when appropriate.
