The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to take a pivotal role in the design and creation of a meaningful and impactful consumer facing app. The app hopes to revolutionise the way users find and book journeys, and to take the stress and uncertainty out of commuting.

• Continue to build and maintain a design system that allows flexibility and scalability.
• Gather and evaluating user requirements, in collaboration with researchers, product managers, stake holders and engineers.
• Quickly illustrate and communicate ideas using storyboards, user flows and prototypes.
• Identify and troubleshoot UX problems (e.g. differing native OS behaviours, diverse dynamic content across multiple markets and languages).
• Take feedback onboard, and refine designs based on user feedback and analytics.

Required Competence and Skills

• 5+ years’ experience as a hybrid UX/UI Product Designer.
