Lead UX Designer (GBP 80-100K, Work Remotely, Share Options)

Resource Guru was born when two people, working in a digital agency, were grappling with a problem that didn’t seem to have any decent solutions. 7 years on, we have a leading productivity app that is changing the way teams manage time across the globe. We have some incredible customers including NASA, Ikea, Publicis, Accenture, Red Hat, KPMG, Pirelli, M&C Saatchi, VMware, Ogilvy, PwC, Virgin Media and the NHS. They all trust Resource Guru to handle one of their most precious assets - their people’s time.

We are a small, remote team with employees in the UK, Europe and South Africa. This means you would be free to work from anywhere with a good internet connection and a 4 hour time overlap with GMT business hours. We live in Slack, have daily video standups and some of us like to meet up occasionally to work together from coworking spaces. We’re a friendly team and like to think of ourselves as a family :)

Our roadmap is long and many challenges lie ahead. This is where you come in. You’re an outstanding UX Designer with several years of relevant experience. 

Unlike some companies, we believe that UX and UI design are separate disciplines. The lines are blurred between the two but each demands slightly different thinking and skills.

UX designers help shape a product from scratch using customer research and business requirements which can often be complex, unclear and incomplete. They work alongside product owners to create elegant, usable designs including wireframes, clickable prototypes and specifications. Whereas UI designers are more focused on transforming those deliverables into beautiful, responsive, cross-platform designs ready for implementation. Ensuring that the product is useful, usable and delightful. There’s lots of crossover between the two and they are both critical to our product’s success.
