About The Role

• You are not only a UX and UI designer but also a problem solver. Once you identify a painful workflow for a customer (or fellow team member), you are driven to come up with a solution, prototyping concepts to test before jumping into development with the engineering teams. You are also able to run design-related projects independently while keeping your manager up to date with the progress.
• Aware of technical constraints at times, that doesn’t keep you from proposing product solutions that customers will find easy to use and understand. You are excited by transforming traditional workflows into digital workflows, innovating in niche spaces and improving efficiency. You’re looking forward to dipping your toes into a product experience that involves hardware and software that can integrate with traditional workflows in industries like uniforms, retail, and wellness.
• Prototyping ideas is key for this role. Lo-fi, hi-fi, from print-outs to spreadsheets to Figma: you can use anything to test theories or concepts and get an idea across. You take advantage of the various expertise and skill sets of other team members to use their strengths and come up with solutions together.
• You are a doer: you are able to run with the problem or challenge on hand. Once goals are set, you can plan and find the information you need, identify the resources required, and execute what needs to be done to test and validate ideas.
• You’re not afraid to get your hands dirty (digitally and physically), do the research required, use any tool for prototyping (they don’t need to look sexy but still necessary to validate and test ideas), and work with others to get things done.
• Last but not the least, you are excited by an opportunity to make a difference and disrupt an industry that relies on traditional processes. Our product offering is unique in the space of uniforms, sizing, and 3D technology: it is a one-stop-shop, a complete end-to-end solution for our clients. Your experience and skillset will elevate our product experience into the level it needs to service high-profile clients in airline, wellness, military, and other industries globally.
• When introducing yourself in your application, please briefly describe some examples of problem spaces that you’ve been immersed in and solved, your process for finding a solution, and how projects performed once it’s been in front of customers.

• Experience in research and testing: whether it’s surveys or interviews, designing your own research sessions or getting team members to test prototypes – you will do
• anything to validate an idea.
• Experience in end-to-end product delivery: you have been involved in the launch of a feature or product from ideation to release, including tracking or improving results.

Our Values

Owner mentality.

We all have a role to play in nurturing this business - it's collectively ours.

We know we are building something big and lasting which will take time and effort.

We take real pride and responsibility in growing this embryonic business into something incredible, that we can all be proud of.

Creative problem solvers.

We are equally excited to be solving real global problems along with the day to day challenges we must tackle.

Most things we will do, haven’t been done before. We think on our feet and solve complex challenges quickly.

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We experiment and learn, always.

Good human beings.

We’re a tight knit group that helps each other out and we genuinely care about those around us.

We address things early and we are not afraid to have tough, honest conversations. We’re OK with giving and receiving feedback.

We are always respectful and there’s never egos in our team - we don't have time for jerks, even if you’re brilliant.

Courageous and humble.

We are laying the track as we race over it.

We are comfortable with the unknown and have conviction and belief in what we are doing - we are not afraid to step into the dark.

We frame challenges in a positive light and are always quick to own our mistakes, learn from them and move forward.

Optimism is essential when dealing with the unknown, but false bravado and arrogance is not tolerated.

High performing and trusted.

Our people are high performing and get the job done.

We champion the end goal and hire A grade team members, knowing that each of us will deliver.

With trust comes freedom - there’s no clock watching or micro-management. No rules or set times for when we work, or where we work from.

Love work, love life.

We are proud of the work we do - we’re excited to tell our friends about it at a BBQ on the weekend.

We know when to put in the extra hours, but know that it’s not always sustainable. We manage this carefully to ensure we don’t burn out.

We prioritise our happiness, physical and mental wellbeing. It’s always OK to make room for the people and things we love.
