Job description
WE ARE:
A fast-growing start-up revolutionising the design industry, a market worth over $700bn annually. eporta is an online marketplace where architects, interior designers and other businesses can discover high-design furniture, lighting and accessories and purchase directly from suppliers.
We have users in over 80 countries, so our business is already truly global - and we will be expanding from our UK office into another European location, and then into the US. We have a number of high profile investors including a large US venture capital fund, Guy Hands (founder of Terra Firma) and the founders of Zoopla, Betfair, sofa.com and Achica
YOU ARE:
Someone who’s passionate about what’s right for the user. You’re driven to design interfaces that are both functional and beautiful; you can break down complex ideas into elegant solutions - and, most importantly, clearly and confidently explain your thinking to the wider team. You’re self-motivated, enthusiastic, highly efficient and keen to develop within a growing team whilst helping to shape the future and direction of the eporta platform.
YOUR ROLE:
This is a unique opportunity to make a real impact in a rapid growth business, involved and contributing to all stages of the product lifecycle from inception to delivery. You’ll work through design problems from beginning to end; translating research insights into ideas that become best-in-class products, features and workflows.
Reporting to the Head of Design, your UX/UI responsibilities will include:
- Engaging with internal & external users to conduct research and evaluate feedback
- Sketching and prototyping ideas to quickly assess viability
- Designing the fine-grained details of interactions
- Championing (and improving) our design systems, best practice and UI/UX toolkit
- Producing beautiful, detailed UI, visual & interaction design & animation specifications
- Acting as a senior team member, mentoring other designers as needed
YOUR SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:
- Experience of the entire end-to-end product development process
- Proven experience designing digital products and systems - not just websites
- Comfortable questioning and constructively critiquing designs
- Experience working with personas and journey maps
- A clear understanding of usability, accessibility and associated best practices
- Demonstrable expertise creating high-fidelity mockups of designs in Sketch
- Skilled in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Keynote
- Demonstrable experience working alongside design, engineering and marketing teams
Bonus points for…
- Animation and illustration skills
- Mobile app design experience
- HTML/CSS experience
