Posted 5 years ago

Description

We are looking for a passionate and hardworking UI designer with a passion for great products and digital technology. If you are enthusiastic about creating and testing innovative design solutions across product and business development, eager to learn and aren't afraid of diving straight into design challenges, this role is a great opportunity for you to grow and build your design skills in an exciting entrepreneurial environment.

This is a hands-on opportunity to join the product team and build a solution that will transcend an entire industry. You will mainly focus on shaping the UX/UI of our digital product and its data visualization features. Beyond this there will also be opportunities to work with Marketing team as a vanguard of our brand and design language, so a flexible ‘can-do’ attitude is a requirement.

As part of the role, you will receive exposure to many areas of the business from product, branding, marketing to business development as well as learn how to build and grow a design team and system. You’ll be working alongside a range of different teams with lots of responsibility and ownership from day one, and get unique first-hand experience around what it takes to embed human-centered design into artificial intelligence-based solutions. Throughout your time with us, we'll give you the opportunity to receive mentoring from different members of the team to make your experience at Disperse the best it can be.

You'll join at the start of something new, and if you prove to be a great fit after 4-months, we’ll happily convert you to an equitable full-time position.
