Skedulo London, England, United Kingdom Contract 2022-07-26

Your role as a Product Designer is to bring to life and envision how our core users experience our products. For our scheduling users, this means understanding complex tasks and processes and turning them into simple and intuitive designs, translating data into visualisations that provide new insights into their workforce, and making it quick and easy to communicate with workers in the field. For our users in the field, it means designing tools that fit seamlessly into their day and empower them by giving them all the information they need to do their job in the palm of their hands.

Our design process starts with understanding the context of use, user needs and behaviours and is heavily focussed on prototyping to bring to life ideas. It also involves close collaboration with other teams including Engineers, Product Managers, and Marketers to solve complex problems.

This role is a 6-month contract with our UK office, where we work as a remote-first team. It is suitable for someone based anywhere in the UK.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Interaction design is the most important skillset for this role, and you’ll be in your element creating prototypes, mockups, wireframes and flows. You are able to take complex features and requirements and translate them into elegantly simple user interface designs.
  • You’ve got great prototyping chops and can use tools like Figma, Sketch, Invision, Axure, Flinto or Principle to deliver interactive prototypes of your designs.

  • You like to work as part of a diverse, multidisciplinary team and deliver real results. You check your ego at the door, and are comfortable collaborating with others to get the best result for the entire team.
  • You’re a self-starter and can work quickly to take a design challenge and develop your own plan of attack, bringing others in the team on the journey with you. You think in “hours and days” rather than “weeks and months”.
  • You’re a team player, and are happy to put in time to mentor and coach more junior members of the team
