Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Alphero Full time

We are looking for a visionary, creative Principal Experience Designer to join Alphero, a leading digital agency in Aotearoa.

At Alphero we have a bold vision to reimagine the many current (and new) digital products in the market that have become homogenous and commoditised, and turn them into stand-out experiences that delight users, deliver impact to our clients - and inspire new clients to bang down our door In a nutshell: to put the creative (and heart) back into digital.

This is a pivotal role in a wonderful, dynamic and inventive design team. As a Principal, you will be involved in engagements from digital and product strategy, to leading the design for some of our most epic digital programmes. Beyond that, you will take ownership of your area of the practice, help set the practice direction, and lead and inspire our designers to grow and succeed.

At Alphero our brand pillars run right through our business and guide us in everything we do. They are: Inventive, Emotive and Brave. You will be aligned with and inspired by these and will bring these to life within our team and in the experiences you imagine for our clients.

Areas of focus
  • Epic work - you will lead the imagination and creation of some of our most inspirational and aspirational digital experiences. You could find yourself in any sector, working on anything from blue sky digital product strategy and conceptual design, to re-inventing how people work, or flipping a consumer self-service model on its head. Your work will deliver impact, results and wow.
  • Design practice awesomeness - You will lead your own practice area - exploring the possibilities of digital design, technologies and emerging trends to support our design director in continually evolving and elevating the level of our work, our design practice, processes, and capabilities.
  • Wonderful mentor - You love growing others and actively mentor and grow other designers both working directly with you on projects, and across the design team.

Flexibility around hours and the option for hybrid working with a day or two WFH a week. Plus three months paid parental leave for the primary carer, two weeks for secondary. And everyone gets a day off on their birthday

Great pay and perks

Competitive salaries that keep up with the market and are regularly reviewed, a fancy new phone and account plan after three months, and the latest tools and tech to help you nail your job.

Getting to grow

Lots of opportunities for in-house mentoring, peer-to-peer learning as well as an all-team Te Ao Māori programme, accessibility training and the option to attend external courses and conferences.

A kind and inclusive culture that prioritises mental and physical wellbeing, with counselling services available and wellness leave as needed.

Sweet spaces

Cool offices in great locos - Wellington CBD and Auckland CBD - with sit/stand desks, break out spaces and comfy couches. Bike in (we've got racks, showers and towels), bring your dog (we love dogs).
