The company and the role of design are maturing rapidly at FinancialForce and we seek experienced User Experience designers to help us further embed design techniques into every product decision.

Design skills:
Interviewing users. You are confident interviewing users remotely or in person to understand their expectations, motivations and challenges.

Your approach:

Leadership. You educate your scrum team on user-centred design techniques through your actions and communication style.
Knowing designs value. You know where the value in any design is and are able to clearly articulate this in prioritisation trade-offs.
Standing your ground. You know when and how to take a firm and persuasive stance, backing your position up with evidence.
Moving quickly. We work in Scrum, aligned to lean principles. Things move fast and change often. We haven’t found the silver bullet for complete UX and Scrum harmony, but we’re trying hard and making progress. You will help us move faster.
