United Kingdom Jobs

We are excited to be launching a production management system made specifically for agencies and professional service firms that have adopted a hybrid agile methodology. This role provides you with the opportunity to work on sophisticated and complex problems – rather than designing individual product features, you’ll understand that owning the design process from the ground up is needed. More importantly, bringing people along and making it a team effort in that process is critical to the success of our work together.

No one works on anything alone when you’re an August team member. You’ll be expected to collaborate and contribute – for someone who thrives in this type of environment, you’ll be driven to add to the fabric of our strong culture and quality work through your commitment to learning and delivering.

Before we jump into more specifics of the role, it’s important we let you know about our hybrid way of working. We maintain flexible work practices and have done so since the company started in 2005. Hybrid working for us means that our Senior Product Design role is based in our Melbourne office and will work predominantly with our Australian and New Zealand team. However, you are not expected to work in the office or remote full time. Teams self-manage their face to face time and we also ensure that the company is up to date with all COVID-safe practices including vaccination requirements, cleaning, and physical distancing requirements.

The job in 55 words or less

• Be part of the foundation team that successfully launches our product into market in 2022; it takes a village.
• Collaborate with a smart, talented team of people who are committed to learning and sharing something new every day; no one works on anything alone.
• Be a champion for the people using this product; actively listening to their feedback and gaining insights into how we can best serve them and make a product that truly improves their experience and business outcomes
• Establish ways of working within the product team in your first few months that provides context and room for growth and scalability

Does this sound like you?

• Proven experience designing software that tackles complex problems and is used by people; in other words, this isn’t your first product
• Collaboration is a skill and a way of working that enables you to collect feedback, give feedback, and convert conversations into productive design discussions.
• You are focused on human-centred design when it comes to solving product issues; product design is great, but if it’s not solving a person’s problem then it’s not helpful.
• Excited by the opportunity to contribute to a senior and experienced team in developing ways of working, processes and feedback mechanisms.
• You know the best practice tools of the trade and you use them everyday including (but not limited to) Figma, Principle, Sketch and more…
• Can work autonomously but loves being part of a team and actively contributing to it

You get extra credit for

• Experience with public speaking opportunities.
• Formal facilitation and coaching qualifications.

What you will get

Working at August is not just another agency job. While we take our work seriously, we really enjoy the company of the people we work with and we don’t take ourselves too seriously. It takes time to find the right people to join our team. There’s a level of trust and flexibility that is hard to describe, but here goes nothing. You’ll enjoy the freedom to create and contribute to sophisticated projects the way you want, combined with a robustness of process that ensures you have total support to focus all your energy and inspiration on compelling design and technical challenges. If you’d like more detail, we’d love you to ask us about it!

Our values play an important part in everything we do at August. They help us deliver epic work for clients around the world and they’ve seen us through some difficult times. As a team member, you’ll continue to develop not just your technical craft, but other valuable qualities such as powerful communication skills, commercial and business nous, and handy insights into totally random stuff, like a quick and easy killer dumpling recipe, or the engineering magic behind the latest SpaceX test flight (again, you might want to ask us!). When we hire someone to join the team, we’re interested and invested in all the different parts that make up you – because ultimately, that’s what makes August.

As a team member, you can also expect:

• A competitive salary package with various incentives and rewards.
• Flexible working is part of our daily jam.
• Working within a highly motivated, talented and technology–driven team.
• A team of people who will invest in your career progression
  and development.
• Generous company policies that help you grow and balance life.
• Many other perks we will discuss when we meet you.
