Wellington City, New Zealand Xero Full time

Xero is a beautiful, easy-to-use platform that helps small businesses and their accounting and bookkeeping advisors grow and thrive.

At Xero, our purpose is to make life better for people in small business, their advisors, and communities around the world. This purpose sits at the centre of everything we do. We support our people to do the best work of their lives so that they can help small businesses succeed through better tools, information and connections. Because when they succeed they make a difference, and when millions of small businesses are making a difference, the world is a more beautiful place.

**Our eligibility criteria for the graduate program**:

- Full-time working rights
- Fewer than 12 months professional working experience in relevant industries
- Availability to start full-time in February 2024

**The role**

Product designers help shape our products. We understand how people use Xero, then we work with cross-disciplinary teams to build the most delightful and effective experiences.

We think about the entire Xero experience, from tiny interface details to making our customers' lives better. We’re interested in how someone uses a design, not just the look of a button or screen.

As a graduate product designer, you’ll be responsible for designing the interface architecture, workflow, and visual design of our product.

The product design team challenges assumptions and ideas to make the software helpful and easy to use. We work through ideas and designs with customers, engineers, researchers, writers, and product managers, and we prototype experiences quickly.

**What we’d like to see from you**

You’ll be a great listener and able to put yourself in other people’s shoes. You’ll have an analytical side and a knack for crafting beautiful user experiences.

We’re looking for applicants with a design degree, including digital, visual communications, graphic, industrial, interaction, and media design.

Ideally you’ll:

- be an excellent communicator and team player
- be a problem solver who can take a logical, analytical approach while being user-focused
- be a creative, agile, motivated and passionate person
- like to question the status quo and take initiative

**How to apply**

If you are eligible for this role and you pass the initial eligibility stage, you will be sent a selection of online assessments (behavioural and technical) as well as a video interview via Talegent. If successful from our online assessments, you will be invited to a Grad Day which will include technical and soft skills interviews, as well as group and individual challenges. Our Grad Days will be held from late September through to early October.

**Why Xero?**

At Xero we pride ourselves on our award-winning junior talent programs. In 2021 alone, we won the NZAGE Best Graduate Development program and were ranked as the top Graduate Employer by GradNew Zealand.

Our junior talent programs are focused on learning and wellbeing. Xero supports many types of flexible working arrangements that allow you to balance your work, your life and your passions. Our work environment encourages continuous improvement and career development and you’ll get to work with the latest technology too. As part of our junior talent program, you’ll have access to a people lead, buddy and team lead to support you in your wellbeing and professional development.
