How you’ll make an impact 

The goal for our global Design team is to continue to develop the World Class Design culture at Xero.

You'll explain and promote a balance of ‘Best Practice’ and innovative design approaches to enable teams to achieve world-class design at Xero and ensure design direction is in place to support the product roadmaps and strategy of product teams.
