An opportunity to play a pivotal part within this company's trajectory - equity included on top of salary.
The client
Working for a fast-paced, AI-powered, B2B SaaS start-up. You’ll be part of a small UK team (with colleagues globally), reporting directly to the CEO and essentially become his right hand person.
The company is refining its go-to-market strategy and has received feedback from early users. The product (B2B production process platform) is out there but aiming to turn it from a usable product into a lovable one!
These guys are taking a Silicon Valley approach, so you’d need to be prepared to scale fast and comfortable working within a level of ambiguity.
Hybrid working – London office – hiring manager is set on someone being based in London or surrounding areas – there will be times when you might need to come in at short notice.
Sponsorship is NOT being offered.
The role
- Perform end-to-end design process from problem definition and research to high-fidelity prototypes and implementation.
- Develop comprehensive information architecture systems that organize content and functionality in intuitive, accessible ways.
- Plan and conduct customer research to uncover insights, validate assumptions, and inform product decisions.
- Drive product discovery activities to identify opportunities and explore potential solutions.
- Create innovative user flows, wireframes, and prototypes that effectively communicate design concepts.
The candidate
MUST HAVE experience includes;
- Strong Information Architecture skills (this is a proper UX job, not looking for UI or Product Design). Looking for portfolios which clearly demonstrate UX processes, user research and strong level of user centricity overall – no harm showing hi-fidelity work but need the rest to back it all up.
- Recent (last 2 years) start-up experience and comfortable with that fast-paced culture and occasional late finish, potentially at short notice (as is the nature of how these businesses can be).
- Recent (last 2 years) experience in B2B SaaS design i.e. working on platforms.
- Expecting someone with around 10+ years experience for this one.
- Strong communication skills are also a given.
- You need to have been in some long term stints over the past few years – hiring manager is keen for someone with evidence of staying power to bed-in with them long term i.e. looking for someone coming from a permanent position rather than being a serial contractor.
Please note: this has a 3 stage interview process which includes a (paid for) task.
Sounds like a lot but all being well, you’ll have had a massive influence on the product and a chunk of change from your equity!
