Who are we:
We’re Edge, the only end to end influencer management platform for performance markers. We connect content creators and brands together to make it easy to manage your sponsorships, agreements and straighten out the sometimes arduous process of brands and content creators working together.
Edge are at the forefront of a $15bn / year industry for influencer performance marketing, building something new and exciting to empower brands to grow and influencers to get paid for their hard work.
We’ve invested in our technology and are working with some pretty big brands already – we’ve recently took on a Product Lead and now we’re looking to bring on a UX Designer who can help us on our mission to disrupt the influencer management space.
Who are you?

Primarily, you’ll be working alongside Product, Tech and Commercial, using user data and insights to hone and craft frictionless user interfaces, thinking about how the service design of our product and service all interplay with each other.
You’ll also get the opportunity to work with how our brand forms and grows, from logo design to graphic design to our public facing presence, you’ll get to be involved with all parts of the puzzle.
We’d love for you to interact with users too, we’re in a B2B and B2C space, so you’ll get the opportunity to speak and research with end users of both sides of the equation to understand how we solve the problems for them all in the smoothest way possible.

Day to day we live by our pirate code to collaborate and have fun at work:
Team first: Break down silos, share the wins
