Our market-leading product intelligence platform provides reliable consumer data to help manufacturers and retailers understand what their customers want to see on shelves. This helps reduce the time and cost spent developing new products, which makes for better products, faster.

We’re a scale-up business with huge growth ambitions. We’ve proved product market fit with our existing offering and now we’re ready to scale at pace. We’re using scalable new technology to reimagine our product intelligence platform with limitless future potential, from personalisation to AI-enhanced insight.

This will be our fifth design hire overall and our second content designer. You will work within a multidisciplinary team, leading content design and strategy across our platform, app, and marketing. You won’t be joining a large team of content designers, but you will be joining a team that values and understands how important content design is. You won’t have to justify the importance of it; you can just do it.

About the role

You’ll work with colleagues across Vypr to understand and solve valuable customer problems, taking a user-centered approach. The work will be varied, including tackling new feature design, discovering new customer needs, defining content design standards and patterns, collaborating with experts to write long-form content, and exploring how to help customers solve problems using AI.

You balance quality with speed, considering context and practical implications when making decisions. You recognize when to compromise and when to stand firm.
