Purple is hiringUX/UI Designer

Are you a passionate, forward-thinking UX/UI Designer who likes to solve real customer problems and champion the end-user experience? 

We are looking for a creative, detail-oriented UX Designer to work with our experienced teams to help deliver complex solutions to a wide range of clients based around the world. You’ll be working alongside the Lead UX/UI Designer, Product and Development team to guide creative design choices, drive product identity and champion the end-user's needs.

What you’ll do:

Reporting directly to our Lead UX/UI Designer, you will be providing design support for our WiFi product, the Purple Portal. You will work collaboratively to research customer needs, surfacing opportunities for new developments as well as improvements to our existing features. 

• Conduct user research discovery (surveys, interviews, usability testing) to understand user needs, behaviours, and pain points.
• Analyse user research data to identify opportunities for improvement and design solutions.
• Create user personas, workflows, and other user-centred collateral.
• Design wireframes, prototypes, and mockups to communicate design ideas.
• Collaborate with product managers, developers, and other designers to iterate on solutions.
• Create detailed, user-friendly design documentation that can be consumed by many audiences, both technical and non-technical.
• Present design solutions to stakeholders and advocate for the user experience.
• Staying up-to-date on the latest UX design trends, accessibility and best practices.

What we’re looking for:

Someone who has already gained strong experience in previous design roles working with product and agile development teams. Being able to put yourself in users' shoes and design solutions that make their lives easier. The ideal person is pragmatic and action-orientated and someone who continuously seeks out improving their professional learning.

• 2-5 years of experience as a UX designer or related field.
• An online portfolio or examples of work that demonstrate your UX process.
• Proven ability to conduct user research and translate findings into actionable insights.
• Strong understanding of user-centred design principles and methodologies.
• Proficiency using Figma, working with a design library and brand guidelines.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and presentation skills.
• A passion for creating user-friendly and visually appealing products.
• Experience working in an agile development environment.
• Familiarity with AI concepts and applications (nice to have).

Our values - what makes a Purplyte

• Make it happen - We own things and get them done whatever it takes.
• Playful and positive - Life’s too short to take things too seriously, we like to have fun while we’re working and we love positivity - and yes the glass is half full.
• We’re in it together - We all have our day jobs to do, our KPIs to hit and projects to complete but we’re always available to help for the greater good of the business.
• No bullsh*t, no politics - Seriously! We want to enjoy coming to work and that stuff doesn’t make it pleasant.
• Know your stuff, keep learning - We value people who have the knowledge and have a thirst for it, lots of it.
• No drama - Things don’t always go right as much as we try, having a hissy fit over it won’t help the situation and you won’t find that here.
• With great data comes great responsibility - Personal data is a big thing, particularly when you are the custodian of a lot of it, and we take that very seriously.
