UX-lead, full-time

Status

• We are making a tool for collaborative structured problem solving. Our aim is to enable groups to jointly formulate and reason about questions they face, to quickly draw out all the thinking on potential solutions and pros/cons from the group, and to clearly visualize what solutions different group members believe in, and based on what rationale.

• We have an app that works, and that has shown itself to be very helpful in some user tests, but it is also clear that it is not yet perfect. Especially when it comes to design. We have just hired one designer and are now looking to extend our design team with one more designer focused on UX.

• We believe we can offer a unique opportunity to shape our UX principles and be part of a truly inspiring software development process.

Mission

• Be the UX-lead, working closely with the UI-lead, as a closely-knit design team.

• Drive the whole UX chain of User research (Conduct and analyze) -> Interaction design -> Prototyping (InVision or similar) -> Testing (e.g. A/B Testing)

• Participate in the development of the experience strategy

• Benchmark best and innovative practices

Skills

• Organized and structured - Able to design our design process, and to lead it. Comfortable with visual management, able to create a set of relevant artefacts on a UX wall and keep them up to date for weekly meetings, making the knowledge accessible to the team. Focused and with attention to detail.

• Team player - Positive. Able to "suspend the ego" and facilitate discussions with empathy and understanding of how others think. Comfortable with leading workshops.

• Smart - Partly as it is a real interaction design challenge, and partly to keep up with the high-powered team. Able to find "simplicity beyond complexity". Analytical capabilities. Understanding of tech. Strong academic credentials (e.g. degree in Human Computer Interaction, Design, Psychology, Anthropology, Information Science).

Style

• You probably think Sketch is better than Photoshop

• InVision might be your best friend to get input on an app

• You know several keyboard shortcuts including at least three fingers

• You’re a passionate human being, whether it is by design, unicorns, sloths, board games or everything altogether. We love fun, enthusiastic and curious people!
