Scope 

To be a successful principal designer for Hatch, you will have deep context of the product, competition, and design and rationalise our foundational systems. You will champion and enable cross functional teams to use our design system and help them adopt good design principles and advocate for our customers at all times.  

You will contribute to identifying new business and customer problems and opportunities and drive user-centered design solutions to them through our digital channels and touchpoints. 

These include the core Hatch app, our website, emails and other internal applications used by our staff to support our day-to-day operations. 

You will also have a strong influence and part to play in improving our design processes and tools, and support the design director in making decisions to continuously improve the efficiency and health of the design team. 

Design Leadership 

An internal champion for the power of design to fuel the growth of Hatch. Get to know Hatch inside and out and Identify potential areas of improvement. 

A relentless focus on the customer and solving their problems. Strong problem definition and articulation – challenge assumptions and 'pre-set' thinking around solutions, agree the purpose, principles and vision. 

As a design leader you’ll help other designers teams to deliver work that embeds ownership and pride,  inspiring them to take ownership of our work together. You will help to ensure that our design team is healthy and delivering great work alongside the rest of the delivery team. 

Design 

Work on design problems from beginning to end - from concepting the next great product feature to sketches to tweaking the finer details while in the wild.  

Create user scenarios, mockups and flows. Produce rapid prototypes to validate design concepts with the wider team.  

Craft beautiful interfaces and care about the details at every step of the journey from concept to validation to shipped code. Successfully communicate design specifications to engineers using Figma, our design tool and other tools like Trello, Miro and Confluence. We also believe strongly in communicating verbally and “jamming” with people involved in creating Hatch experience.  

Research, Analysis, and Testing 

Work closely with the business to ensure a data-driven approach to analyse and deeply understand the success or failure of product features to refine and meet our product and wider business goals. 

Continuously optimise efforts based on behavioural data using tools available to us such as Google Analytics, DataDog and other tools we may adopt, and customer feedback. Cultivate a deep understanding of the needs and aspirations of the people our product is designed for. 

Stay on top of UX trends and look for creative ideas and inspiration in parallel worlds. 

Stay up to date on evaluating market trends, customer needs, and competitive landscape.
