Reporting to the Bet Tribe's Head of Product, you will lead the UX and Digital Product Design functions across several digital products.

What you'll do:

• Your primary focus will be to create a vision for the products, developing a 'north star', before establishing a continuous process of refinement and evolution.

• With an ability to 'make things happen', you will be a self organised and self-managing, fun and friendly person with a positive attitude.
• Understand and establish the team's cultural values, modeling them through your behaviours and actions.
• Apply learnings from previous positions and industry awareness to create an environment where great design can happen.
• Working with UX and Design Managers, you will look to build a methodological toolkit ensuring its adoption by the team and wider stakeholders.
