This software company is looking to recruit a lead UX/UI designer.

What their staff say:

"It's small enough here, that I feel like I can make a difference. Most developers work on tedious business software, or highly technical things, so it's nice to work on a product that people can relate to and can improve people's lives. My previous role felt like a dead end job. Here I started in support and moved into development. I've learned a great deal in my time with this company."

The role includes understanding the nature of the sector, building a team to complement the product and development teams, implementing the required processes and technologies, gathering customer requirements, designing graphic elements and building navigation components.
