You bring:
- The desire to level-up your career and spread your wings within a well-funded startup environment. You may currently be in an agency, start-up or enterprise. Wherever you are, you are ready to experiment, define some processes and have a big impact on a business.
- A portfolio of interaction and visual design on responsive web and native mobile apps, some of it in the B2C world. You’ll be excited about introducing us to mobile first design and the experiences this opens up for our customers.
- A passion for research, conducting user interviews, mapping user journeys, and user testing sessions that drive design strategy. We haven’t historically done much of this, so you’ll be excited (and perhaps a little nervous) about getting us started, even if you’ve never had free reign to establish processes before.
- The collaboration gene, especially with developers, and an interest in agile, iterative ways of working.
- Luxury aesthetic sensibilities. You’re comfortable down to the pixel and love creating elegant, beautiful designs.
- A light-hearted approach to life.
Sound like you? We’re excited about meeting people and building our team. We welcome applications from all, even if you’ve never experienced the delights of a room service club sandwich.
