Role

Who you are

You have at least 7 years of experience in a design role
You can untangle hard conceptual problems and have sharp intuition for how people use products (UX)
You can create compelling visual designs (UI)
You care about the business needs, implications, and possibilities of your designs. You understand trade-offs are necessary and can balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line
You have strong beliefs, loosely held. You're a good listener who likes to collaborate
You like to tell stories using both words and visuals and strategize the best way to make your point across
✨ Optional: you can produce graphics, videos, animations, and GIFs with a high level of craft and attention to detail
✨ Optional: you have bases of (or desire to learn) sign language to easily connect with our users

What the job involves

Craft every detail of new product features, from idea to UX to pixel-perfect execution, that feels impeccable
Rehaul the app and design an onboarding experience to make the users feel right at home with this new communication tool
Conduct intense user research and thinking, partnering closely with our support team to understand what users need, want, and love about Ava. All of this to come to great insights, enabling bold decisions to happen if they have to, and guiding our product roadmap
Synthesize language and design systems that are simple to understand but help the team to move faster as we scale
Work with growth, marketing & sales to show users stories on how they can make the most of Ava, helping empower the community to a 24/7 accessible future

Our take

Ava uses artificial as well as human intelligence to instantly transcribe what people say, to allow workplaces to be more inclusive for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. The company counts a number of major international brands amongst its customers, including Hilton and FedEx.

What makes Ava’s offering so impactful is that it can integrate with all major media and communication apps, from Facebook Live to Zoom, to instantly generate captions of live or recorded content. Beyond this however, Ava can also be used in in-person meetings, school, and daily life, as well as in video calls.

While it’s available to individual customers, it’s quite likely that Ava will continue to focus on business customers, as they are now increasingly keen to put accessibility and inclusion at the core of their operations.
