Mobile App Designer for Huddle

We need a creative and methodical interface designer to bring intuition, focus and sexiness to the mobile, tablet and mobile web versions of our business collaboration app.

Productivity software can be pretty complex, but it should never feel difficult or confusing to the people who use it every day. We like experiences to feel simple, delightful and a joy to use. Like you, we're a fan of tools like Things and Clear and how they really nail interaction design and taskflow to feel natural and pleasurable.

 We know, you're probably thinking B2B isn't as sexy as working on the latest iPhone photo-filter-sharing app. But shouldn't it be? And really, that's where you come in. We work in the sector that good design forgot. If you want the chance to use your product design experience to make a real difference, read on.

About Us

We're on a mission to connect people with their content and their coworkers. A true Brit of Silicon Roundabout with big feet in Silicon Valley, we're a more grown-up, less risky startup choice. We've got the big-name customers (80% of the Fortune 500 and UK central government, and companies like KIA motors, AKQA and Boots) but we've also got the young and hungry culture, the outstanding benefits and stock options, and way too much free cake.

 Our enterprise collaboration platform is available on the desktop, iPhone and iPad. We reckon having a seamless, cross-platform, drop-dead-gorgeous experience is the key to our ongoing success. Encouraging that kind of creativity is going to take a lot more of our circus parties, fun runs and movie nights.

About you

You have that knack of reducing a complex idea down to its simplest elements, perfectly crafted for touch devices. You understand how mobile and desktop apps can work together and like to craft holistic experiences.
You're well-versed in typography, layout, colour theory, icon design and usability, and a deep knowledge of the patterns and quirks of iOS and Android devices. You know when to go native, HTML5, or a little of both.
Half the time you're thinking about logical taskflow, the other half about human nature; going beyond mere usability to create the delight and temptation that motivates us to want to interact. You've already solved productivity app problems in your career and are ready to wow us with your portfolio.

You'll be:

• Designing the interface and user journeys for our mobile apps
• Helping to construct interactive prototypes for usability testing
• Contributing to a design language that covers all our digital experiences
• Attempting to resist the champagne and Krispy Kremes that lurk around every corner

Huddle is growing fast. Our London office is around 100-strong, into which we're building a lean and mean UX team. You'd be working with other designers, and alongside creative and passionate developers and product managers.
We're Agile, and favour two-week iterations to keep things moving. Inside this process we're big on the research and testing your agency never let you do. We like to keep things as lean and realistic as possible. If you like to prototype using stuff like HTML, CSS or even Xcode we'll be totally into you. But don't worry if you’re more about sketching and the Adobe suite - mostly we're looking for someone who can think through a problem to the truly elegant solution.
