Company mission
Solve the unique challenges of frontline work with technology that empowers every employee.
Role
Who you are
- You're highly proficient in Figma and modern design practices, defaulting to creating reusable components and easily navigable design files
- You break down features into minimal viable pieces, comfortable starting at lowest-fidelity to quickly gather feedback and iterate
- You quickly grasp complex business areas and your understanding to make informed design decisions
- You’re commercially aware when deciding what to build and when and excited about the challenges of building for enterprise customers
What the job involves
- We're bringing the modern, user-centric experiences we expect in consumer products to frontline teams. This means balancing ideal user experience, immediate growth needs, and our ambitious long-term vision to create the "self-driving car of workforce technology."
- As a designer at Sona, you'll collaborate across cross-functional product pods to deliver new features to our core modules and employ a wide range of skills, including: product strategy, customer interviews, interface design, implementing effective delivery processes, and building our component library
- To excel, you’ll need to be comfortable delivering small pieces quickly and iterating based on our users feedback and need, aligning across a team on the right level of ‘done’, and effectively managing time, fidelity, and tooling on a piece-by-piece basis to ensure the rest of the team is supported
- It's a challenge, but it offers the reward of significant influence on the product we're building together
- Working with rest of product team to define and deliver output to meet business objectives
- Aligning internal stakeholders and customers around outcomes and design decisions
- Refining deliverables across web and (react native) app from proposal, to lo-fi concept, to polished UI
- Directly and independently working with users, customers, and internal SMEs to validate requirements
- Helping to coordinate output across our design and wider product team
Our take
80% of people don’t work at desks, but the technology for deskless workers only attracts 1% of all enterprise software investment. Consequently, little software has been designed to benefit the frontline. Sona is a workforce technology startup setting out to help solve this issue, building an all-in-one platform specially designed to empower frontline workers and help their employers retain staff and operate more efficiently.
By using its app, users can view and claim shifts, communicate with their colleagues, and book holidays. Moreover, Sona has additional modules for HR, Payroll, and Engagement, so customers can manage all of their people operations in one place, or integrate with their existing tools.
Sona is an early-stage startup, yet already counts big names across Social Care, Hospitality, and the Charities sector who have combined to book millions of shifts on the Sona platform.
