About us:

-You’re happy working in a small, highly driven, remote-first team with sometimes limited resources but you relish the challenge and opportunity to have a bigger voice to shape our product and to make it a reality with beautiful design and usability.
-You are used to taking a pragmatic view to design delivery without compromising longer-term strategic vision.
-A natural collaborator and a clear communicator, you know instinctively how to keep people informed, without adding unnecessary noise or complexity.
-You’re a self-starter, able to prioritise work and comfortable with a fast paced environment.
-Happy to iterate, you can quickly identify opportunities to improve design processes and take advantage of the latest tools to support the scaling up of design work at the right time.
Your responsibilities:
-As our first in-house Designer, you will create an accessible user experience for our agricultural and logistics customers around the globe
-Produce creative, easy to use wireframes, user flows, prototypes and supporting documentation to communicate solutions
-Creating wireframes to communicate functional needs and flow for UI design
-Establishing preliminary patterns for flows, layouts, and interactions
-Iterating and evolving designs based on user feedback

– Ideally experience of design for multi-lingual, global products
– Proven ability to translate findings into actionable product improvements
– Strong knowledge of the UX process and usability design principles
– An understanding and empathy for an industry that has in the past been slow to adopt new technologies and often operates in locations with poor or no signal is a benefit
What success will look like:
– Our development teams will be easily able to pick up your work to quickly understand what needs to be done to implement beautiful designs for an on-time delivery that delights our customers every time
– You’ll always collaborate at the right time to ensure the most efficient approach is taken to get the job done
