About

Experienced Design Manager needed to grow and mentor a great team of designers. You will be working in a business across multiple products that are some of the best I have seen to date.

This high level design team is looking for a talented, passionate, detail-oriented Design Ops Manager with strong appreciation for visual design & a background of UX. The Products in this stream of the business are dynamic, fast-growing and high-impact categories within the Australian Technology space. They have a team of customer-obsessed Product Designers that translate business needs and requirements into intuitive, stunning, engaging and exceedingly usable experiences for their Australian User Base.

These roles are exceptionally hard to come by at all, yet alone here in Brisbane. To be at the head of products like these, with a team of senior product designers behind you….I can assure you if you are considering a move to Brisbane and have the relevant experience, this is one worth calling me about.
 
This company has recently gone through some HUGE changes and has entered a new phase on their journey. This team is a powerhouse product design team that have nailed their product development and design cycle. All parts of the business are working together to achieve a common goal. They work cross-functionally with open communication redefining who they are and what they are doing constantly. It is so important to be adaptable and forever changing and growing and this is what they are doing. As an employee, you will have personal milestones to hit & reasons to celebrate. There are guidelines on what you should be doing to continue to grow as a Designer and how you will be rewarded for this. Professional development and growth is a priority for the business. They are their people. There is a whole new range of improvements and you could be part of their journey.
