UI/UX Designer

UI Designer with great aesthetic skills? Do you love fashion, design, and pixel perfect, yet want to reduce the overproduction and waste in the fashion industry? Dream of shaping the future of stores, showrooms, and other retail experiences?
Our friends at Touchtech are looking for a UI Designer to join their creative team. Touchtech is the strategic technology partner for global brands and retailers. They are defining, designing, and developing the future customer journeys in B2B sales, showrooms, and stores around the world. The company is based in Gothenburg, Sweden, but the team is distributed, and are working together from all over the world.
At Touchtech you will work across a wide range of products and services to make them highly intuitive and well-designed from an end user perspective. You will produce everything from rough sketches to illustrate ideas, to pixel perfect prototypes to try them out, and of course you’ll also design components and complete interfaces for the finished products – all in a highly iterative and creative environment.
Who are you?
Ok. Now to the hard part since we might not know each other yet. But here’s what we think.
You’re probably quite experienced, but if you tick most of the boxes below the number of years you’ve worked does not matter.
We think that you’ve been working with B2C solutions before. It could be apps, or web sites, or something else (?), but we do think that it’s important that you’ve been part of creating something that it’s out there, being used, by users who really like the product, and the design.
It would probably be nice if you have worked with fashion, or retail, before. Just so that you know the business. But, again, this isn’t necessary since you will learn along the way.
We mentioned it above, but just to be sure. Graphical skills are important. The Touchtech solutions are being used to display some of the world’s best-looking clothes, shoes etc., and the user interface needs to match that level of quality.
The work is often carried out in close collaboration with the clients, and this collaboration is key to the company’s success. This also means that you must be good at motivating your design decisions, and still be easy to work with. ;)
Animations are becoming more and more important, so you’ll need experience with that as well.
Even though Touchtech has been around for a number of years, it’s still a young company, and you need to be comfortable working in a fast-changing environment.
What tools you’re currently using is secondary. If you know one it’s easy to learn another, and there’s just so much happening in this area. Right now, it’s Adobe XD, or Figma, for sketching and prototyping, but who knows what it’ll be tomorrow.
Oh. In a way this should be obvious, but we’ll mention it anyway. You will need to be quite good at both written and spoken English.
