In our early days, Ekos focused on providing bespoke business management software to the craft beer industry. After 6 years, we're growing our focus to empower craft makers all over the world to scale their businesses, streamline their processes, and optimize their teams. As a product designer you will work hand-in-hand with design, product, and development teams to create amazing experiences for our clients and their customers.

 WHAT YOU'D BE DOING:

• Collaborate across cross-functional product and development teams to discover and design elegant solutions

• Own the design process on the team from beginning to end: making use of existing research and analytics as well as suggesting new ones; designing flows, sketches, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups; creating intuitive user experiences for web and mobile; launching features and products alongside Sales and Marketing teams

• Engage with key stakeholders to identify pain points & product/feature opportunities to properly communicate ideas and deliver prototypes to product and development teams

• Design and envision future experiences iteratively in a dynamic environment, being mindful of how the experience needs to evolve over time

• Leverage user feedback as well as design best practices to drive and influence business decisions

• Collaborate with software engineers in application development meetings and assist in implementing action items

• Keep abreast of competitor products and industry trends

WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE:

• Work samples that demonstrate your ability to design quality digital products and highlight your contributions from ideation to production

• Examples or case studies of projects that went well, projects that failed, and what you've learned from those successes and failures
• Ability to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to gather input, develop actionable insights, and design complete user experiences that meet customer needs and product vision

• Expertise in standard design software such as Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD, and the like is a must. Basic HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript skills are a plus. Responsive design and experience designing for mobile is expected

• A solid grasp of user research: user interviews, usability testing, A/B testing, rapid prototyping, heuristic analysis, usability standards and accessibility guidelines. You don't have to do it all, but you want to!
• Experience creating, managing, or working with design systems

WHAT WE'D LOVE TO SEE:

• A profound sense of empathy for customers and users 
• A desire for continuous improvement and professional growth
• Experience participating in (or running!) design workshops with cross-functional teams
• Passion for all things design and innovation

FINALLY

There are no degree or years-of-experience requirements for this role. Fresh out of school? Pivoting from another field? 25 years of experience in React (haha)? We're open to giving people their first shot, a second chance, or that opportunity for greatness that's eluded them their entire career. Just be awesome, and let's talk.
