Digital Product Designer

**About Us**

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in your next role?

Why? As a society, we need to decarbonise and accelerate the transition to alternative energy sources. Existing solutions are expensive and disparate, with limited functionality.

Basis is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna, and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life. We're more than happy to take on someone who wants to work remotely from a different location across New Zealand too, or wants to relocate.

We closed a $12m capital raise late 2021, so we're well funded and ready to grow. Our team is smart, curious and has some big goals - so if you’re interested in joining a fast-growing and startup that is design-led and puts people at its core, then we’d love to hear from you

We're also currently in stealth mode, so check out our website and we'll share more with you during the recruitment process

**The Role**:
As our Design team is rapidly growing, we are now looking for another Digital Product Designer. This role could be for a solid Intermediate, or a Senior individual contributor with strengths primarily in UI, Interaction Design, and design systems. You will have had experience taking products from early ideas to market and beyond.

**As a Product Designer at Basis, you'll have the opportunity to dive into some exciting things**:

- Team up with Product, Engineering, and other cross-functional members to define product feature requirements, fostering a friendly and collaborative atmosphere.

- Keep yourself updated on industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies to ensure our designs stay fresh and innovative.
- Champion a culture of design across the company, inspiring others to value the impact of great design on user experience.
- Embrace ambiguity with a positive attitude, guiding your team through uncertain times and helping them find clarity and direction.
- You have excellent communication and storytelling skills to effectively present your design concepts and ideas, ensuring they resonate with your team and our users.

**We think you’ll be who we are looking for if**:

- End-to-end Product Design Experience: You've designed and shipped multiple products or features across various platforms. Experience with mobile native products is a plus.
- Highly Collaborative Approach: You're happiest when working closely with other Designers, Engineers, and Product Leads. You value feedback and brainstorming ideas.
- Interaction Design Experience: You can use the appropriate prototyping tools to show how a particular flow or interaction will work.
- You excel in UI Design: You're driven to create exceptional visual designs that align with brand and design systems.
