Role:

Yonder is looking for a product designer obsessed with great user experience and has delivered exceptional experiences at scale in past roles. You’ll be their first designer, outside their founders – beyond execution you will drive help drive the direction of the product. Yonder makes it easy to offer complex benefits like retirement or health insurance globally in minutes, not weeks – while increasing access to a generation underserved. Their ultimate goal is to be the platform for providers to access a segment of customers who have been left behind as industries have changed and the consumer-grade experience has not evolved.

What you can expect from joining
  • You’ll be joining them early in their journey. They’re still building out their core product and infrastructure. They have funding & first users in sight - now they’re focusing on hiring great people to join 
  • Having a real voice & ownership - they’re a small, early-stage team and when you join you’ll be working across the whole system and making calls on how it should evolve
  • Contributing outside of your role - could be helping them with some compliance deep dives to helping someone with an urgent issue, the early stages can be a little less defined
  • Fittingly they believe you should be rewarded for having that outsized impact with equity that gives you ownership in not just the systems but also the company
  • More, listed below
What you’ll be working on
  • Drive design for the company, including designing workflows, detailed interactions, high-fidelity visuals, and user testing; and ensuring quality implementation
  • Challenge product direction and provide alternative solutions, while explaining and debating the reasoning behind your product decisions
  • They’re building world-class consumer-grade products for businesses and their employees – their domain is inherently complex and we’re making it simple, frictionless and pleasing to use
  • Work closely with the founders, along with product and engineering leads
  • Examining data points and behavioural patterns, making product improvements where possible
 What’s required?

They don’t consider this set in stone - don’t count yourself out if you don’t fit this or other sections exactly, it’s more a guide than a rule. You

  • 3+ years experience in designing user experiences across multiple platforms (Mobile, web)
  • Excellent understanding of design best practices, with the ability to turn complex flows and interactions into simple solutions
  • Sensitivity to user experience - with an intuition for the user and enthusiasm for testing those assumptions; you will champion user needs and share insights with your product team
  • Experience with tools like Sketch or Figma
  • Strong organisation and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate with peers across product and engineering
  • Strong organisational and communication skills.
  • Have the ability to develop and manage a Design System from scratch
