Other Land – Product Strategy & Design Accelerator
Описание:
Hey! Other Land team is sending “cheers” to you. We’re currently looking for Product Designers to join our team full-time or collaborate with us on a project basis. Who We Are: At Other Land, we might label ourselves a Product Design Agency, but delve deeper, and you’ll find a group of 11 people deeply committed to the craft of a good product design. We work extensively with both startups and established companies to support and realize their ambitions.
For our clients, we’re more than just an extended design team; we’re strategic partners. We bring fresh perspectives, infuse innovative design strategies, solve complex problems, and help businesses establish their recognizable visual identity, among other things. While we respect limitations, we always seek ways to enhance, add extra value, and optimize.
Our team is spread out all over the world. We catch up weekly on Zoom to discuss ongoing projects, share knowledge, and ensure we’re on the same page. Whenever possible, we’re trying to find an opportunity to grab a coffee or a bite in Kyiv or other cities in Europe.
Instead of a lengthy description, let us highlight some of the projects we’ve been working on over the past year: * Improving the interface of a graphic editor for a company producing tools for handcrafted goods (USA) * Redesigning a family-focused investing app that helps parents and kids learn and manage stocks together (USA) * Making data-driven product design optimisation for an EdTech platform (Germany) * Redesigning a coffee-ordering app (Middle East) * Improving the product experience for one of the region’s largest fintech (UAE) * Improved UI of an AR mobile app for wearing digital wardrobe items (USA) * Redesigned a mobile app and built a design system for the biggest telecom provider (UAE) * Redesigned a B2B SaaS platform for restaurant business management (Germany) * And many other cool things

www.otherland.studio What we’re looking for in designers: * Desire to be the main owner of the project. Your role at Other Land goes beyond just design. Our clients and our team look to you as the central figure of the project, delving deep into project specifics, business objectives, user needs, and technical limitations. While you’ll always find support from our Design Lead, Project Manager, or Mentor, it’s ultimately your call to stand behind your solutions in front of the client and our team. * Strong communication skills. In Other Land, designers aren’t behind the scenes; they’re front and center. You should be comfortable translating your design solutions into clear “whys” and defending your design decisions. In a discussion-heavy environment, we need communicators who can effectively bridge the gap between problem space and solution space. And yes, strong English is a must (). * You are ready to work autonomously. We don’t use time trackers in our team (if it’s not a client request). Instead, we operate on a foundation of mutual trust. Given the freedom we provide, we expect our designers to be adept at self-management, ownership, and responsibility. * You have a strong portfolio of executed and working solutions. Usually, it means that you worked for at least 2 years with real clients or products. Your work and solutions should speak for themselves, showcasing your capabilities and the expertise our clients seek.
Skills that are important: * Identifying bottlenecks within products based on analytics. * Conducting UX audits of existing interfaces and suggesting improvements. * Designing intuitive user flows, information architecture, wireframes, and prototypes. * Engaging in user research, conducting user interviews, and user tests. * Creating distinct visual concepts and design systems. * Applying a new or existing visual style consistently across all screens and states. * Iterating based on insights from research, data, tests, and feedback. * Using Figma like a pro (variables, auto-layouts, components, etc).
What you will get: * High Autonomy. You have a great deal of ownership and a significant impact on the final outcome. * Project Matching to Strengths. Our projects span from innovative startups to established products. Some are specific problems needing solutions, while others are fresh canvases awaiting fresh ideas. Depending on your interest and strong skills we aim to match you with a project that aligns with your unique strengths. * Support in Skill Development. We have a studio budget allocated for honing the skills you find fascinating and crucial while working on projects. * 100% Remote Work. Embrace the flexibility and comfort of working from anywhere. * Competitive Salary. We offer a compensation package that acknowledges your expertise and the value you bring to the team. * A Young, Small, Bureaucracy-free Team. Engage with a small, vibrant group bonded by shared values and interests. Here, your voice genuinely matters, and there are no bureaucratic barriers to new ideas inside Other Land. * 20 days of paid vacation and paid sick leaves. Your well-being matters to us. Take the time you need to relax and recover. * English Speaking Club. Every second Friday, we gather to discuss a variety of engaging topics, including empathy. It’s a great space to improve your language skills and share perspectives.
