Brandwatch is hiringProduct Designer

Description

Brandwatch is the world's pioneering digital consumer intelligence suite. We help over 2,000 of the world's most admired brands and agencies including Unilever, Walmart and Dell to make insightful, data-driven business decisions.

The company has made three acquisitions to date: PeerIndex (2013), BuzzSumo (2017) as a standalone content marketing platform, and Qriously (2019) to add global survey capabilities. Additionally, the company was bolstered by its merger with Crimson Hexagon (2018) to create the most comprehensive AI-powered social intelligence solution. Brandwatch has offices around the globe in: 

• Brighton
• Boston
• New York
• London
• Berlin
• Stuttgart
• Paris
• Madrid
• Sydney
• Singapore

In late 2019, to support our commitment to product innovation and drive growth, we launched our internal Incubator team. They’re tasked with the rapid development, testing, launching and scaling of new targeted products. The team launched two new offerings in 2020, Brandwatch Reviews and Brandwatch for Education. And there are even more ambitious plans slated for 2021.  

Role Description

We have created an exciting new opportunity for a full time product designer to be integrated into our Incubator team. The new product designer will ensure the products developed continue to meet our high design standards and delight our customers. 

In this role you’ll be leading the full product design process. From UX research, through to high resolution UI design, across the 3 core products managed by the team (Hootsuite Insights, Brandwatch for Education & Brandwatch Reviews). In addition you’ll help with new prototypes and exploratory products developed by the Incubator. 

Given the breadth of your remit, products to support, and the fast moving nature of the Incubator team, this position will be exciting and challenging in equal measure. You’ll be across the spectrum of product design from UI to UX and be in direct contact with customers to understand their requirements and evaluate customer research.  

Good collaboration and communication skills are key to the role. You’ll be working with diverse stakeholders across the company, from Data Science through to Product and Marketing.

The ideal candidate should compliment their design and UX skills with a flair and originality that’ll make a tangible difference to the outputs of the Incubator. You’ll help us push the boundaries of convention and ultimately make our customers sing out loud with delight. 

If you’re a talented Product Designer who is motivated by any of the above, then this could be the perfect role for you.
