Mid Level Product Designer

Description:

It’s an exciting time to join Cora as we embark on the next generation of our user experience. We’re looking for a talented Product Designer to help us deliver major updates to our enterprise SaaS web application and mobile apps while working with our product designer to shape and roll out our design system.

We’re seeking someone with a flair for translating complexity into beautiful, engaging experiences. The right designer will help us update existing elements, components, pages, and flows to deliver customer needs while defining unified styles and patterns across our products. We’re at an early stage of our Design System journey but have big plans.
Cora PPM houses complex business logic that helps some of the world’s leading organisations understand and manage their projects and portfolios — it is vast and has a lot of moving parts.
You will design the information architecture, user flows, and interactive facets of this functionality, stripping complexity from the user experience while solving critical customer problems and delivering great business outcomes.
Day to day, you will work with the product owner, senior product designer, business analysts, and developers to shape requirements, estimate and plan work, review designs, and contribute to the design system.
You will also collaborate with the project managers, developers, and test engineers to understand technical capabilities and address issues.
We’re scaling our UX research and hands-on research experience is beneficial to the role. We want to hear how you have used research methods to identify opportunities and problems and validate your solutions.
