Specialist Experience Designer

Product Designer

Do work that matters

At CommBank, we're on a mission to make banking delightful and human-centred. The Smart Loan Experiences squad is at the forefront of this mission, delivering outstanding user experiences for both our customers and our staff. You'll be part of the Manage & Own Crew within the Home Buying domain (Retail Bank).

See yourself in our team

We’re looking for an experienced mid-level Product Designer to join our Experience Design Chapter for the Home Buying program of work.

You are someone who thrives working end-to-end — from discovery and service design to UI design and delivery — and will join our collaborative, customer-focused product team.  You’ll partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Business SMEs and Researchers in an agile environment to deeply understand customer and staff needs, translate insights into elegant, scalable solutions, and drive outcomes that deliver real customer and business value. You’ll balance strategic thinking with hands-on design execution, and you’ll be a key voice in shaping the product and the broader customer experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead discovery work to uncover customer problems, validate opportunities, and inform product strategy through research, workshops, and co-design.
• Translate insights into concepts, user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and polished UI designs, ensuring solutions are both desirable for customers and feasible for engineering.
• Apply systems thinking and service design techniques to shape an offering that must anticipate the needs of customers, and the staff who support them.
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Engineers throughout the agile lifecycle — from problem framing and ideation to delivery and iteration.
• Champion customer-centricity and advocate for best-in-class user experience at every stage of the product development process.
• Contribute to product strategy and roadmap discussions by grounding decisions in customer insights, design thinking, and data.
• Facilitate and participate in design critiques, workshops, and agile ceremonies, providing and receiving actionable feedback to continuously improve outcomes.
• Contribute to evolving our design system for consistency, scalability, and efficiency.
• Measure and validate impact post-launch, using a mix of qualitative and quantitative insights to iterate and improve solutions.

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of experience designing digital products end-to-end in cross-functional product teams.
• Growth mindset and drive to develop your own capability and the capability of your colleagues
• Proven ability to lead discovery and delivery activities with customers, product, and engineering stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of human-centred design methodologies and how to apply them pragmatically in a fast-paced agile environment.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills — you’re as comfortable sketching ideas on a whiteboard with engineers as you are presenting strategic concepts to executives.
• Excellent interaction and UI design skills, with an eye for detail and craft.
• Experience designing for complex systems, services, or platforms, not just isolated features.
• Proficiency with modern design tools (e.g., Figma, Adobe Creative Suite) and a basic understanding of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, components, design tokens).
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and complexity, balancing customer needs with business goals.
• A portfolio that showcases end-to-end product design thinking, craft, and measurable impact.

Nice to Have

• Experience working in Financial Service,
• Exposure to design systems management and contribution.
• Familiarity with metrics-driven product development (e.g., running experiments, A/B testing).

Why Join Us

• You’ll work on products that genuinely impact people’s lives.
• You’ll be part of a highly collaborative, customer-first culture.
• You’ll have ownership and autonomy to shape the product as a key member of a cross-functional team.
• We invest in your growth and career development through coaching, learning budgets, and design community support.
