Solicit feedback from everyone in the team and our users in a cohesive and executable manner (with lots of user testing along the way)

Help with design workshops, carding up user-stories and defining personas etc

Perks:

Building an innovative, first of its kind product and being involved in a startup from the outset with a highly experienced team that’s done it before

A design-led organisation (one of our founders is a designer) – Great products are built on the foundation that we understand our users and we test creative designs with them, and we surprise and delight them as they interact with our product

Regular 10% time (1 day every other week) to play around with new concepts and new software
