## Job description

Operating in the UAE for over 50 years, CBD manages the financial requirements of some of the largest corporates and businesses operating in the country, driving the UAE economy. Over the years, CBD has transformed into a progressive and modern banking institution winning multiple awards for its digital initiatives, credit cards, bank accounts, mobile app features and services.

CBD has been recognized as the number one bank in the UAE on the Forbes list of The World’s Best Banks 2022.

As we continue to build upon our successes, we are looking for ambitious individuals who are passionate about the banking and finance industry and the markets in which CBD operates. Just as important to us is your ability to demonstrate a talent for dealing with people - your colleagues and our customers - and delivering service that really goes the extra mile.

- Produce high quality design specifications, prototypes and assets that enable accurate and efficient implementation

- Plan and conduct qualitative and quantitative research to inform design decisions at every stage of the product lifecycle

- Facilitate design workshops, critiques and walkthroughs to build shared understanding and momentum

- Communicate design rationale clearly, focusing on user value, business impact and risk mitigation

- Partner with marketing and communications to ensure customer facing narratives are clear and consistent

- Ensure design solutions comply with legal, regulatory, accessibility and security requirements

- Participate in design reviews, usability validation and release readiness checks

- Degree in digital design, interaction design, visual communication or equivalent practical experience

- Proven experience designing mobile and web-based products at scale

- Strong understanding of banking products, services and customer journeys

- Portfolio demonstrating strategic thinking, problem solving, design craft and measurable impact

**Live in CBD’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
