At Sandfield, we build smart software solutions for top brands, and we're looking for a talented UX/UI designer to join our awesome team

About Sandfield

We’re a leading, Kiwi-owned software business that prides itself on NOT just being a conventional tech company.

We've been backing ourselves and our ability to create great solutions for clients, since we first opened our doors in 1989. Since then, we’ve developed some pretty innovative systems for clients, leaving other, more high-profile software packages in the dust. 

Our work facilitates high-performance supply chains for the likes of Mainfreight, Qube and HW Richardsons and keeps millions of orders and data points flowing for Foodstuffs. It also manages business finances for Team Global Express and Green Acres, helps fill seats on the Interislander for KiwiRail and keeps Les Mills members engaged...plus so much more.

We pride ourselves on being different from your typical tech company. At Sandfield you will:

• Work on interesting projects: We guarantee your ‘every day’ will be interesting, varied, challenging, and fun! You’ll get to work with a range of other smart people of all levels, who also happen to be really great people.
• Direct client interaction: Our designers deal directly with our clients, and we spend just as much time nurturing soft skills, such as communication and business acumen.
• A supportive team: Our collaborative culture is at the centre of everything we do at Sandfield, and it makes it a pretty special place to work. We know this because people also don’t tend to leave; the average length of stay is more than five years.

We also have a drinks fridge, funky offices, and ‘Fun Food Evenings’!

• Collaborate with product managers, developers, and other stakeholders to ensure designs meet both user needs and business objectives.
• UI Design Across Platforms: Ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing experience across mobile and web platforms.
• Figma Mastery: As a Figma maestro, you'll be at the forefront of design collaboration, using the tool to its fullest potential for efficient prototyping and collaboration.
