SUMMARY

We are looking for an outstanding UX Lead who thrives on solving complex challenges and is energised by creating products that make life simply better.

You'll be part of an agile team, leading workshops or interviews with our senior corporate clients as well as startup-founders to help them understand their businesses and customers more deeply and to drive innovation.

At WONGDOODY Europe, our approach to UX is lean and user-centered. We workshop ideas and solutions with clients and internal teams and sketch out ideas.

We have a fast-paced, prototype-driven workshop approach called 'Conversation to Creation' (C2C) in which you'd play a key role.

We run these workshops with startup founders and clients to kick-off new, transformational products and distill in weeks what others would take months for.

We don't stop at concepts and prototypes, we deliver real products to customers and iterate upon them. As a UX Lead, you play a key role throughout this process.

We embrace change and exploration; everyone at WONGDOODY Europe is committed to creating the best possible product.
