Content Platforms. Content Platforms provides the multiple Editorial teams in NUK with the tools & services that they need to inform and entertain the world. Our mission is to simplify and transform the digital tools and content systems in our newsrooms to enable content creators to focus on what they do best: producing quality content with creativity and innovation. We are a diverse team currently spread between London, Sofia and Bangalore. Why are we hiring? News UK has multiple newsrooms and teams producing and managing large volumes of quality content. The tools and services that are currently used have largely grown up organically over time and this has led to inefficient workflows and multiple tools largely doing the same tasks. By bringing all of our newsroom digital tools and content systems together under one team we can begin to simplify the numbers of tools that we have and focus on providing the right tools and workflows to pursue our digital ambitions. This strategy of simplification and transformation to create tools that allow our content creators to focus on creativity and creation rather than content management is aligned to the overall News Corp strategy.

To identify pain points and where time is lost struggling with tools and/or processes instead of producing quality content. To spot where users must find alternative ways to get their job done because the content platforms systems fall short of meeting their needs. To spot where we could solve a common problem and where there are opportunities to share / re-use across multiple Newsrooms.

To work with Product & Engineering to research if others have solved the problem and how we could do the same or improve upon it. To maintain a focus on delivering value quickly and iteratively by finding solutions that answer ‘what’s the simplest thing we could do to make it better / faster / easier?’ To strive towards a consistent user experience across newsrooms & tools where it brings value. Ultimately, to work as a teammate in Content Platforms and a Partner to our Editorial teams to create a Digital Content Platform that’s so good, Editorial and Technology teams prefer to use it.

What we’re looking for from you:

• Experience working in an agile environment
• Experience practising product design in an iterative manner (not all up front)

• Constant stream of new challenges. The pace at which Graphy is growing brings new technical and business challenges each day. There’s a very large and exciting opportunity ahead for us which requires us all to wear multiple hats, and keeps every day exciting.

The opportunity 😎

London / Remote (BST to BST+2)

At Graphy, design matters deeply to us. We believe that data has gotten a bad rap. Highly technical, overly complicated tools have made working with data onerous, tedious, and difficult. Our goal is to make working with data light, joyful, and collaborative. And we know it’s going to take a lot of very good design to get there.

That’s where you come in: As the first full-time product designer at Graphy you’ll have the opportunity to help us build the next generation data platform from the ground up. You’ll also be instrumental in shaping our design culture, systems, and team. 🚀

What you’ll do 👩‍🏫

• Partner closely with Product and Customer Success to do in-depth qualitative and quantitative user research to deeply understand the problem space.
• Work through design problems from start to finish. Once you have a deep understanding of the problem space you’ll clearly articulate why these problems matters to our customers and what we plan to do to solve them.
• This includes experimenting with various solutions, creating flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visual mockups and prototypes for new products and features.
• Partner closely with Product to build our product roadmap.
• You’ll also own our nascent design system:
• This includes researching best practices and taking inspiration from others.
• Work directly with the CEO to help create a beautiful, unique, and coherent design language and style for Graphy.
• Design and collaborate with engineers to implement new React UI components and improve existing ones.

Requirements

What we look for 👀

• Great taste and ability to translate that taste into beautiful UI & visual design of modern products, balancing a maniacal focus on details with a pragmatic focus on the business goals.
• An ability to distill complex and often ambiguous problems into effective solutions that carefully navigate the right tradeoffs.
• Strong communication skills.
• Enthusiasm for scaling Graphy’s team.
• Familiarity with tools such as Figma / Sketch / Framer / Invision.
• Basic knowledge of HTML and CSS.
• Basic understanding of front-end JavaScript; you won’t be expected to code, but an understanding of the constraints is key.
• To be in a timezone between BST and BST+2.

It’s a plus if you have some experience with:

• Building React-based components.
• Designing animations & transitions.
• Building for accessibility.
• Rendering React components to Figma / Sketch / Framer.

• Experience in an applied research setting, including experience integrating user research into product designs and strategy.
• Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary UX and/or product teams (visual, interaction, UX research, engineering, UX writer) on technical implementation

Preferred qualifications:
