- Actively participate in sprint planning, retrospectives, and daily stand-ups, utilising Agile methodologies to ensure efficient project execution.
- Champion the principles of Universal Design and accessibility, ensuring the product interface meets or exceeds WCAG standards.
- Effectively communicate design processes, ideas, and solutions to team members and stakeholders, emphasising the importance of inclusivity in design.

**Qualifications**
- Proficiency in Figma for UX/UI design activities and Adobe Creative Suite for graphic design tasks.
- A deep understanding of mobile app design nuances, coupled with up-to-date knowledge of the latest design trends, technologies, and Universal Design principles.
- Strong experience in user-centered design practices, including conducting user research, feedback sessions, workshops, A/B testing, rapid prototyping, heuristic analysis, usability, and accessibility assessments.
- Excellent teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to distill complex ideas into clear, actionable design implications.
- A commitment to ongoing learning and improvement in the fields of UX/UI design, Universal Design, and accessibility.
- A Bachelor’s degree or higher in interaction design, human-computer interaction, cognitive science, or a related field is preferred.

**About Waymap**

We are a for-profit, social impact start-up. The idea for our business came out of the Royal Society for Blind Children in London.

The young blind children whom the charity served tasked the CEO (Dr Tom Pey, also Waymap Founder and CEO) with building a cell phone navigation app that was accurate enough to even help them get around.

Waymap, therefore, has built a suite of location algorithms which are much more accurate than GNSS (GPS) and even work indoor.

We want to connect cities like never before - outdoor, indoor and even deep underground.

Pay: £50,000.00-£60,000.00 per year

**Benefits**:

- Company pension
- Employee stock ownership plan
- Employee stock purchase plan
- Work from home

Schedule:

- Monday to Friday

**Experience**:

- UX UI Design: 5 years (preferred)
