What you’ll work with
In this role, as a multidisciplinary Product Designer, you will have the exciting opportunity to shape both the product’s UI and UX. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, including developers, project managers, and marketers, you will delve into understanding user needs and translating them into intuitive and visually appealing designs. From crafting user interfaces to creating engaging email templates, you will work on a wide range of design projects, ensuring that every touchpoint delivers a seamless user experience.
When a design is finalised, you will closely collaborate with our development team to ensure the front end aligns perfectly with the intended design. This collaboration aims to maintain consistency and fidelity between the design and the final implementation, ensuring that the product’s visual appeal and functionality are brought to life harmoniously.
This role entails a big focus on UI/UX design, allowing you to utilise your expertise in creating captivating experiences for our users.
