We have a lasting and transformative effect on the businesses and organisations we work with.

As a Product Designer at ustwo you will be involved in all stages of the product development process, from brainstorming business challenges and concepts right through to iterating fidelity of the UI up to launch.

We are keen for you to be involved in studio culture so the more you can get involved in opportunities for in-person social interaction; the better!

The role

  • Explore and communicate design concepts for digital products through artefacts like sketches, user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes.
  • Validate design concepts by eliciting user feedback, measuring usability, considering market analysis and balance against technical constraints/opportunities.
  • Use prototyping tools to convey movement and functionality of concepts whilst also creating moments of delight.
  • Create ‘looks like/works like’ prototypes that help tell a project’s story with industry-standard design, prototyping and handover tools.
  • Engage clients, stakeholders and your team to ensure your proposed design fits business goals and technical constraints in addition to user needs.
  • Understand and (where appropriate) challenge business requirements to champion user needs, as a way to further promote product and market strategy.
  • Facilitate and participate in workshops and discussions to promote the communication of ideas.
  • Participate in design research, user research and validation testing.
  • Partner side-by-side with engineers to bring designs to life and to quickly resolve challenges.
  • Bring systems thinking in order to create robust design systems that can scale effectively.
  • Work within but also adapt and evolve a client’s brand to current digital standards.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
