Role
Who you are
- You’re continually lifting the bar in your own product design work, creating inspiring and innovative solutions and you’re helping other Designers do the same
- You’re leading and delivering on schedule against agreed deadlines, to the highest quality standards
- You’re respected, collaborating and communicating well with your peers
- Influence, challenge and support designers within your product area to deliver high quality product experiences
- Facilitate cross functional team workshops to bring everyone together at key points in the process and around key decisions
- Partner with development teams during sprints to provide design QA and problem solve issues as they arise
What the job involves
- Promote the value of design and collaborative practice across spheres of influence and participation
- Conduct desk research including domain and competitor analysis, interaction/design trends and 'best of' examples
- Contribute to the definition and articulation of ‘the problem’ – challenging assumptions and 'pre-set' thinking around solutions, agreeing the purpose, principles and vision
- Create frameworks (read wireframes low/high-fi, visual frameworks, content/data models etc) which articulate the components, journeys and elements required to solve 'the problem'
- Explore ideal future concepts and identify new interaction solutions and patterns that meet customer needs in a better way
- Create prototypes which tangibly demonstrate a proposed concept or solution
- Collaborate with other designers and our stakeholders to test ideas, share challenges, provide feedback and build quality in your practice
- Create effective handover materials which clearly communicate how the design should look and behave throughout interaction flows and journeys (e.g. User flow diagrams, design specifications, experience/interaction specifications etc)
- Participate in generative user research to understand customer underlying goals, needs, behaviours and pain points (where necessary)
Application process
- Apply via Otta
Our take
Ryde believes that even though couriers are essential in a booming economy they are currently treated unfairly. For example, low pay, poor working conditions and the lack of flexibility are the norm in this profession. Ryde is setting out to change this by creating a marketplace that connects businesses with last-mile delivery riders and drivers. The company ensures flexibility and same-day delivery for businesses whilst prioritising the well-being of couriers.
Ryde has clients from various industries, such as restaurants, e-commerce, retail and logistics. Whilst next-day delivery has increasingly become the norm in the UK, it's expected that the next step in parcel logistics will become same-day delivery. This presents big opportunities for businesses, yet they also need to be prepared to adapt. Ryde has the potential to help businesses with this transformation.
Ryde's funding has enabled the company to invest in increasing its customer base, creating additional features, and expansion, as the world's first fully-integrated delivery management platform.
