About This Role

As Senior UI/UX Designer, you will lead the end-to-end design process across ACCIONA's digital ecosystem, shaping user experiences for both legacy platforms and new product concepts.

This role offers the opportunity to build a modern design system and mentor others, leaving a lasting impact on the company's design maturity.
