Designer Job at Yourco in Chicago

We're looking for a unicorn designer-someone with a unique blend of skills in UI/UX design and marketing design, who thrives on versatility and has an impeccable eye for detail. If you're a creative problem solver who understands both user journeys and brand storytelling, we want to hear from you!

Who we are:

Yourco is a B2B SaaS platform that establishes an internal communication and automation infrastructure for organizations with a non-desk workforce. Think "Slack" for traditional, blue-collar industries.

Selected by SXSW 2023 as one of the top 5 future of work technologies around the world, our customers include small businesses and Fortune 500 enterprises in manufacturing, construction, transportation, warehousing, healthcare, agriculture, real estate, and other industries that employ a non-desk workforce. We're a highly efficient, high growth startup that recently became venture backed by top VCs in order to staff up and build even faster.

Come and join a pure SaaS business that already serves a large customer base and has facilitated millions of non-desk employee connections.

What We're Looking For:

Experience: 3+ years in UI/UX design, with a strong portfolio showcasing both digital product design and marketing assets.

Skills:

• Mastery of design tools such as Figma, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, etc.).
• Proficiency in creating prototypes and conducting usability testing.
• Familiarity with front-end development principles (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) is a plus.

Mindset:

• A self-starter with the ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a love for typography, color, and layout.
• A collaborative team player with excellent communication skills.
