Job Details

Hi, I’m Patrice, the CEO at Appy (sounds grander than it is), thanks for reading and nice to meet you.

Appy’s aim is to be Tech Partners to Entrepreneurs wanting to build a tech-led business - accelerating ideas and incubating businesses. We grow startups and digitally transform corporates.

I’ve probably put too many buzzwords in the paragraphs above, so if you’re not put off, that’s a good start.

Appy is a Tech Partner and about as far away from an agency mentality as I can make it. 

This role is for someone with experience as a UX Designer, who is keen to make sense of client's ideas, translate them into user flows and wireframes, and starting making their dreams a reality.

We work collaboratively together with clients to create great digital products, even if that often means we have to tell clients some of their assumptions are wrong - it’s all part of the process! We have stopped working with clients that don’t understand the concept of “Tech Partner” and just want an agency - that’s just not for us.

You’re the right person for this role if you’re an A-Player, who loves to take ownership of their projects, be proactive to make things better, a can-do attitude and always think about solutions, not just problems.

It’s always hard to convey the ideal profile in a job advert but in a nutshell, this is the role for you if:

  • You want a flexible and potentially part-time role, maybe it’s 09:00 - 14:30 ish for 4/5 days a week, (hours are flexible), mornings only or full time - it’s a question of knowing what you can do in the time you have, communicating, taking ownership and nailing it! 
  • You have strong experience in doing this kind of role and want fun projects
  • You are keen to work remotely, regardless of the COVID situation

That’s what I’m looking for...
Patrice
