Founding UI/UX and Graphic Designer
About the Role
This is a founding design role at a YC-backed consumer wearable startup, where you will own the entire visual presence of the product and brand. From the iOS app to the website, social channels, and launch collateral, your taste and craft will define how users experience the brand across every touchpoint. It is a rare opportunity to build and lead a design function from the ground up at an early-stage company.
What You'll Do
Own end-to-end UI/UX design for the iOS app.
Lead design across the website, social channels, communications, and email.
Create event invitations and launch collateral that embody the brand.
Define and maintain a unified consumer design language across all touchpoints.
What We're Looking For
2 to 3 or more years of professional design experience; this role is not suitable for recent graduates.
A standout portfolio that demonstrates strong graphic design fundamentals and exceptional aesthetic taste.
Experience delivering polished, user-facing design at a premium consumer company, or equivalent training in a rigorous design environment such as a top design school.
Ability to independently own a broad design stack spanning mobile UI/UX, web, and marketing collateral.
Proficiency with Figma and familiarity with brand and graphic design tools.
Aesthetic sensibility suited to premium consumer hardware; B2B-only design backgrounds are not a strong fit.
Compensation and Benefits
Salary of GBP 70,000 per year, plus equity of up to 1 to 2%. Visa transfers are supported; new visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
On-site in London, England, United Kingdom. Candidates based in other locations may also be considered.
