Principal Product Designer

An opportunity to affect users' lives on an almost daily basis through increasing the impact data can have.

The client

This company turns raw, unstructured data into context that drives business growth and innovation.

They already have over $300M raised from top Silicon Valley investors, and have been named a great place to work for several years running by multiple industry research firms.

They have offices in the UK (north of England) and USA but totally open to fully remote working as well – so long as UK-based and with the right to work here.
