Role
Who you are
- You're a Figma ninja!
- You’ve designed complex UI/UX interactions with an eye towards a high-end consumer-like experience for B2B applications
- You are a “full stack” Product Designer, a UX/UI hybrid – you’re a hands-on, gifted designer of information and interaction who has a great eye for visual desig
- You can own the design end-to-end. You start with a sketch or the whiff of an idea and you can breathe life into it all the way through to detailing every interaction and edge case
- You love Interaction design and have been designing online apps and sites for years
- You love design systems and design patterns
- You pay attention to detail but don’t sweat it when things change
- 5+ years designing products end-to-end
- Leadership and drive. We need someone to step in, grab a project, tell us “I got this!” and deliver the designs working with an analyst, PM and other members of the team
- UX/Interaction Design (wireframes, personas, flows, story maps)
- UI/Visual Design (color, line, type, shape, image, composition)
- Strong knowledge of user experience/user-centered design processes and methodology
- Ability to work within distributed, multidisciplinary teams
- Excellent communication and facilitation skills
- A bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience, preferably in graphic design, information design, user interface design, fine art, industrial design, product design or another visual communications discipline
What the job involves
- Design. You'll help to invent, design and define new product features at Knowde in Figma
- Work with Product team and tech teams daily to stay in synch, answer questions, brainstorm and provide direction
- Depending on where we are at in the design cycle, you'll work on wireframes, mock-ups, design comps, all the responsive looks, notes and documentation so engineering knows how to build what you've created
- Co-design with business team, then flesh out and detail the designs solo and present the same or next day. Lots of iterations
- Perform content analysis, task analysis, task modeling, and define usage scenarios that will help drive design requirements
- Create and document information design concepts and solutions by various means, including sketches, diagrams, maps, storyboards, and rapid prototypes
Our take
Knowde is an online marketplace for the chemical industry, offering a single place for buyers and sellers to conduct transactions for all kinds of chemicals and chemical products. Knowde makes it easy to search for goods, compare products between sellers, and buy online with minimal fees and maximum convenience.
The company's founders have a background in chemicals and programming, and Knowde perfectly combines these two fields. Having previously worked for another chemicals marketplace, Chempoint, Knowde's CEO launched the business with a view to creating the chemical industry's first true online marketplace - the go-to online store for multiple verticals including food, pharmaceuticals, and household & industrial chemicals.
Across the world, trillions of dollars worth of chemical transactions are happening every year, and Knowde makes its money by taking just a small percentage of these transactions. Over 8000 suppliers currently sell goods on Knowde, showcasing that it has played a major part in the digitization of the industry so far, and there are thousands more potential clients on the market, giving the company vital space to grow.
