Role
Who you are
- A portfolio of great work: You can showcase web or mobile projects where you solved complex design challenges and created user-friendly, delightful experiences. We'd love to see the work you’re most proud of and are particularly keen to see creativity and interactions as the stars
- 7+ Years of Product Design: a minimum of 7 years of experience in product design (UX/UI). We are looking for a designer that has a strong technical skillset and is able to use Figma superbly alongside any prototyping, motion tools or code that aids in communicating a users interaction with a product
- Collaborative at your core: You have a proven track record of successful collaboration with developers, product managers, and other designers on building products and services with intricate requirements. You share early and often, and involve the right people at the right times
- Strategic Design Thinking: You bring together product sense, design thinking, and pragmatism to identify the most efficient path toward the desired outcomes
- A visual eye: You possess a strong sense of visual design, with an eye for layout, visual impact, motion on a page, color, typography, and iconography
- Open to Diverse Perspectives: You have strong opinions, loosely held. You present your ideas clearly and concisely while welcoming constructive feedback, and are open to and value a variety of viewpoints backed by data and experience
- Self-Starter: You're an entrepreneurial and resourceful individual who takes initiative to contribute to team and company goals without needing constant direction
- We are looking for a designer that cares just as much about how something feels as to how it looks, with both of those playing a critical part in creating a cohesive, high-quality customer experience
- We are looking for a designer that pays attention to the tiny details & appreciates that moments of delight can create a strong affinity between customer & brand, helping to build trust and engagement
- Experience in B2C, B2B, or fintech is a plus but not a necessity and we encourage people with either in-house or agency experience to apply
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a diverse set of designers of many disciplines, skills, backgrounds, and specialties to join our growing Research & Design (R&D) team
- You will be joining a newly found team, Experience Design, which focuses on the ensuring our customers experience is seamless and world-class from their very first interaction to all ongoing engagements
- The XD team works collaboratively across departments with product, brand, marketing, research, and engineering, to create cohesive and high-quality design experiences and drive the culture of design and interaction excellence throughout the organisation
- This is a unique opportunity to work on current and future customer facing apps that have deployed billions in funds to thousands of eCommerce businesses globally. The potential for you to make real impact for users and the business is huge
- We’re looking for a Lead Product Designer to primarily be working on net-new work for Wayflyer focusing on what the future of our product could look and feel like for our customers in collaboration with other departments (PD, Research, Eng) in next six months, and after that taking on a wider role within the organisation to continue to drive craft & design excellence
- You would need to be comfortable working in ambiguity, solving problems on the fly, working at significant pace and being able to be utilise exemplary UI skills whilst keeping an eye on how design scales within an organisation and across departments
- You will need to be equally comfortable and passionate about translating users needs into effortless journeys as well as crafting intuitive interfaces and beautiful visualisations of data
- You would be working with a small, focused team with a very high quality bar that would collaborate openly and frequently, so transparent communication and the ability to share & present your work and the reasoning behind it is critical
Application process
- What happens next:
- We’ll review every application we receive. If we’re interested in taking your application further, we will be in touch to find out more about you and what you’re looking for
- Unfortunately we can’t reply to everyone or provide individual feedback but we will keep your work in mind for future opportunities
