Senior UX/UI Designer – Startups

Creating successful companies together with our clients is at the heart and soul of VNTRS. We believe that too many great ideas fall short due to the wrong reasons – we exist to change that. We are consultants but we don’t consider ourselves as such. We think that we get the best chances to reach success by becoming partners with our clients and work together as one team.

We’re now looking for an experienced and passionate UX/UI designer to join our design team with focus on working with Startups. When we say “UX/UI”, we mean that you should have extensive experience working within a product development team, knowledge of carrying out both research, wireframing and testing, but also creating UI, design systems and working closely with front-end developers. An extra plus is also if you have previous experience from agencies where you have worked with branding and developing identities.

We’re looking for someone that is comfortable in not just leading the design process, but also be the one that holds the entrepreneur’s hands through the design process. Together with the client and the development team, you can be the one that delivers the next startup unicorn.
