Role
Who you are
- Excellent knowledge of your day to day toolkit — whether it’s Sketch, Figma or Adobe Suite, you know how to use it alone and with the team
- Remarkable communication skills in English — you will present your work, take input and iterate with other people on a daily basis
- Organisational skills - you will lead a team once the moment comes and we need to hire more designers; you have to be able to organize your and others’ work
- You have extremely deep knowledge in UX, standards and practices of the field, and are capable of researching the missing pieces
- You are able to make the best of resources and constraints you’re working with
- Sense of ownership. You will have to establish processes and standards that people will have to follow
- You have a great portfolio
- Prior experience in fintech is a major plus
What the job involves
- As our first product designer you will shape the visual identity of our core product - you will decide about everything from visual language to the shape of the buttons
- We will give you pretty much all the responsibility you will want to take. We’re not design-illiterate, but we won’t “help” you with putting “that toggle over there, 2 pixels higher”
- You will hire the team around you and lead them along the way
- You will decide on the product workflow, cooperate with and participate in hiring the Product Owners
- You will have a very high degree of input into how our product looks like
- Together with the CTO you will build a robust process on delivering the design and making sure that final product reflects the quality you want
Application process
- Short Intro Call (30 mins)
- Competency Interview - with two members of the commercial team (45 mins)
- Personal Fit Interview - with Saket (CEO)
Our take
Traditionally, SaaS founders must pitch to VCs or try to get money from banks in order to raise funds. This means that these founders must be able to find intros to VCs in their network and can face months of waiting for a financial decision. Vitt has set out to modernise fundraising and change how founders raise capital and manage their cashflow. The company wants to enable founders to grow and own their business by offering them upfront, non-dilutive financing against their own cashflows.
The company is building a platform that both simplifies fundraising for SaaS founders and creates a new asset class for investors to invest in. A SaaS company that has contracted revenue can apply for financing upfront (rather than waiting for cash to come in monthly), and Vitt will analyse their financial data to give them a financing decision in a matter of minutes.
With software being central to the modern economy, there is considerable opportunity for this early stage start up to build a substantial business. Backed by some of the best early-stage funds and operators on the planet, Vitt certainly has opportunity for growth.
