This B2B SaaS business have truly cornered the market since their launch a decade ago. Their product allows their customers to elevate their consumers online shopping experiences.

What they need –

• An experienced Digital Design leader who can confidently define and help deliver the strategic design direction of the business as the product continues to evolve

• A seasoned Product designer who can establish best practice and first-rate design processes for the business
• Someone to collaborate closely with the Product leadership team and engineering to ensure a holistic approach to product development

• Guiding design decisions with research and data, applying insights to craft user-centric solutions
• Applying user-centred design principles and practices ideally in a business with a similarly complex product
