Senior UX Designer (Envirotech Startup)

The Client:

TWC Recruitment is partnering with a rapidly growing, Y Combinator-backed Envirotech startup to help them recruit a Senior UX Manager.

Their mission is to get the world to net zero greenhouse gas emissions to tackle the ever-growing issue of climate change.

They do this by tracking the carbon emitted by corporations worldwide. The data they provide improves the quality of reporting and disclosures, facilitates more effective decarbonisation planning, and enables cleaner operations and practices for companies.

They are building a model of the greenhouse gas profile of the world’s largest businesses — which account for a significant portion of global emissions. They can interpret the carbon emissions of large Enterprises and provide data ingestion, auditable carbon calculations, and a single source truth for an organisation’s greenhouse to accurately map out their gas footprint.

• Experience working collaboratively with product, engineering, design, and domain experts
• Experience representing work to a broader team and other leaders, clearly articulating goals and concepts

Experience

• An iterative design process. You validate ideas early with the immediate team and other stakeholders, and prioritise alignment over autonomy. You seek feedback with tactful intentionality, rapidly incorporating it in your work process. You are adept in seeking and responding to critiques.
• Collaboration and communication. You create ego-free forums for inclusive collaboration and build highly synergistic relationships with engineers, product managers and other stakeholders that lead to positive iterations.
• Thoughtful work informed by the bigger picture. You understand that the visual layer doesn’t exist in a vacuum, but will often connect multiple, interlinked considerations. Your design reflects a deeper understanding of the domain, users, and product landscape.
