Digital Design Lead | Wealth Management Platform
12-Month Contract | Melbourne | Hybrid
An opportunity has opened for an experienced Digital Design Lead to step into a high-impact leadership role within a large-scale wealth management platform environment. This contract role will see you leading an established UX design team while shaping the next phase of design maturity across a complex, advisor-facing digital ecosystem.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in design leadership, enjoys working closely with product and engineering teams, and brings deep experience designing B2B platforms within regulated financial services environments.
The Opportunity
As the Digital Design Lead, you’ll take ownership of the UX/UI vision across a market-leading digital platform used daily by financial advisers. You’ll lead a team of designers, set clear design direction, and embed strong design systems and ways of working across the product lifecycle.
While this role is strategic and people-focused, you’ll remain close enough to the work to provide guidance, review outputs, and ensure high-quality, consistent design outcomes. You’ll also play a key role in evolving design practices, including the rollout of a new design system and the responsible adoption of AI-enabled design and delivery tools.
What You’ll Be Doing
Design Leadership & Team Enablement
Lead, coach and develop a team of UX designers, building capability, confidence and consistency
Set clear expectations, provide design direction, and review work to ensure quality outcomes
Foster strong collaboration between design, product and engineering teams
Embed user-centred design thinking into day-to-day delivery
Design Systems & Governance
Lead the establishment and governance of a Material Design–based design system
Ensure design standards are embedded into in-house product development workflows
Drive consistency across complex digital experiences while balancing business and user needs
Educate stakeholders on design principles, standards and best practice
End-to-End Design Delivery
Own design outcomes from discovery through to implementation
Partner closely with in-house product managers and engineers to ensure designs are feasible and delivered as intended
Improve handover processes and reduce friction between design and development
Stakeholder Engagement & Influence
Act as a trusted design voice across the organisation
Influence senior stakeholders on UX and design decisions
Navigate competing priorities while maintaining momentum and quality
Support change management as new systems and ways of working are adopted
Customer & Advisor Experience
Champion customer-centred design for external, B2B users
Engage directly with financial advisers to understand real-world workflows and needs
Strengthen research and usability testing practices and translate insights into clear design direction
Future-Focused Design
Support the evolution of design and delivery through AI-enabled tools and workflows
Bring curiosity, ideas or hands-on exposure to AI-assisted design, research or development
What We’re Looking For
Proven experience leading and developing UX or digital design teams
Strong background designing B2B digital platforms, ideally advisor- or enterprise-facing
Experience working in-house alongside product managers and software engineers
Hands-on experience establishing, scaling and governing design systems
Strong understanding of end-to-end digital product delivery
Ability to influence without authority in complex, regulated environments
A collaborative, pragmatic leadership style with a contractor mindset
Industry experience in wealth management, financial advice, fintech or similar B2B domains is highly regarded.
Why This Role?
High-impact leadership role with real autonomy
Opportunity to shape design maturity, systems and ways of working
Exposure to major digital platform transformation initiatives
Strong partnership with experienced product and technology leaders
Direct engagement with real users in the financial advice community
