Product Designer
Quovo is looking for a Product Designer to help us conceive, design, prototype and implement a user experience that revolutionizes how people interact with financial data.
We are a well-funded start-up that provides data management and analytics services for investors (learn about what we do at www.quovo.com). Our mandate is to combine Big Data horsepower with an intuitive and dazzling front-end in order to make once-burdensome and disparate tasks a real breeze (and maybe even a pleasure). Tools as powerful as ours are usually UX abominations; conversely, the
prettiest financial sites are also some of the least sophisticated. We’re bridging that gap — and we need your help!
Note: We are flexible on the arrangement, be it full-time, part-time, contract, or even intern if you think you’ve got the chops but your resume isn’t quite long enough. Our priority is to find the best talent and work with them however makes the most sense.
Responsibilities
– Serve as UX and design lead on platform-wide reimagining of our look and feel
Work closely with senior developers and strategists to translate use cases, customer personas, and business priorities into specific UX/UI and design solutions
– Assist with front-end development, specifically around CSS and design implementation
– Translate and push forward concepts from ideas to wireframes, visualizations, and mockups/front-end coding — at the global, page, and specific feature level
Inject customer delight into information architecture through visual and graphic design
– Create and update style guides to support our brand
Lead ongoing customer and usability research to iterate and improve the product over time
Qualifications
– Top-notch Photoshop, Illustrator skills
– Strong knowledge of HTML/CSS
– Experience with JavaScript/jQuery
– Experience with data-driven applications or data visualization a big plus
– The ability to translate sophisticated use cases into elegant solutions
– Experience with or interest in the financial industry a plus
– A self-starter with a strong sense of collaboration
– A strong conceptual thinker who is a fast learner and detail-oriented
Please send resume and cover letter (nothing too fancy needed) to niko.karvounis@quovo.com
