Description
Have you ever walked into a place and felt right at home? There’s an undeniable energy about the place. People are chatting, laughing and exchanging ideas. No one’s afraid to speak up. And everyone cares – about each other and about producing worldclass BI and FP&A solutions. This is Phocas in a soundbite. We’re on a mission to make people feel good about data. We’ve been hard at it for over 20 years, helping 2,300 companies turn complex business data into performance boosting results. Despite our global status, we’ve held on to our start-up roots.
The result is a workplace that’s fast, exciting and fun.Speaking of moving fast - we've got a great new product idea that we want to get into production early next year, and we're looking for a commercially-minded UX Designer with a bias for action to get it there. Someone who can quickly get up to speed with the customer requirements and work with a cross-functional team to deliver the solution.
- Collaborate with the Product Manager to conceive and design a brand new product
- Conduct and analyse customer research and inform design decisions
- Data-driven rapid iteration, based on testing and customer feedback
- Use a complete range of fidelity to support decision-making including sketches, user flows, wireframes, mockups, and prototypes
- Independently conduct concept and “hallway usability” tests to gather rapid feedback
- Create and maintain guidance and patterns which developers can independently use to implement common screens and flows while you focus on new features and unusual use cases
- Nail the big picture flows, architecture and navigation as well as the microinteractions of animations, loading states and transitions
- Develop and maintain a deep understanding of and empathy for our customers
We're looking for:
- Minimum 3-5 years prior experience in SaaS product design
- Strong portfolio of product design, interaction design and visual design for mobile/web applications
- Experience with complex data-driven applications where you've made tasks feel easy and approachable
- User research and testing experience with tools such as UTest or UserTesting.com, designing and analysing A/B tests, usability audits, picking up the phone or observing a user.
- Experience prototyping in Figma
- Experience working with developers deploying frequently and having the discretion to judge what is good enough to ship and iterate rather than wait for a perfect release
