As a Product Designer at Trayport, you will be responsible for the end-to-end design of new features and the continuous improvement of our trading platform. You will be expected to be a proactive force within the company, identifying opportunities for enhancement and taking the initiative to "get stuff done.". This role requires a deep understanding of the unique demands of energy traders & brokers and the ability to translate complex requirements into simple, elegant, and highly functional user interfaces.

Responsibilities

Continuing to build the Product Design practice at Trayport, working with highly effective Product & Technology teams to produce beautiful product design with intuitive workflows that makes the application irresistible to users.

Work in close partnership with product management to define user problems and with engineering to ensure feasible and high-quality execution of your designs. You will be the bridge between user needs and technical implementation.

You will own the customer experience of the client facing applications at Trayport and ensure a consistent and coherent approach across the whole product.

User research to empathetically understand challenges users face with commodity trading systems, using a qualitative and quantitative approach.

Thrive in an agile development process, rapidly producing and iterating on wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes.

The Person

You focus on the design process and keep the end-user experience in mind to deliver best in class results.

You know that “doing things properly” isn’t always perfection, but knowing when to be scrappy and when to hone in on the details.

You want good inputs, from customers and the business, data focused and subjective empathic feels in equal measure.

You have a design instinct who is as happy designing a blank canvas to correcting pixels moments before release.

You will be working side-by-side with Product Managers and Developers to create world leading results; this is a great opportunity for someone who wants to expand their skills and work on products driven by a yearn to constantly improve and learn.

Skills and Experience

Proven graphic design and UI prototyping software experience.

Empathic designer that can understand how a user feels to create excellent workflows and design.
