About this role:
Joining us as our first UI/UX hire, you’ll join the product team and have a significant impact on how we shape the next version of our product. We are re-designing our ecosystem, and building a design system around what we’ve got and what we want to build in order to support the customer’s experience with our product as we scale. This role is suited to a designer who likes a challenge and doing first-hand research, as well as working collaboratively with the customer success team. With this role, you’ll have free range to really put your mark on something.

- Min. 3 years doing UI/UX in a large and small company environment
- Experience building insight and data led product experiences
- Demonstrable portfolio with examples, ideally in the deep tech space or with a B2B product
- Great communication skills both when interfacing with customers as well as when working with your team

- Self starter with an inherent ability to drive forward projects and distill simplicity from complex user requirements

About Greyparrot:
The world is in a waste crisis. Currently we produce 2.1 billion tons of solid waste per year. Data collection of the waste we produce is non-existent, meaning no systematic transparency and no accountability. It means that recycling targets are not upheld, dumping of waste into our oceans remains nobody's responsibility, recyclables get sent to landfill or incineration, and producers get away with sub-standard packaging. Thus, recycling rates stubbornly remain at 10% and, unless we change, by 2040 the plastic stock in the ocean will have quadrupled - a problem that already costs society $1.5 trillion each year.
Our mission is to increase transparency and automation in waste management to accelerate the circular economy. Currently, our camera system and AI software are deployed in recycling plants and waste facilities around the world to measure material flows and provide waste analytics. We have compiled a team of experts to deploy our technology and we’re looking to expand our team.
On offer:
Competitive london-based salary (salary band available upon application)
