Remote within Australia / hybrid in-office in Melbourne
Atticus is seeking a product designer to join our small, high-performance team. We are looking for someone who can hone vaguely-defined problems to get at what's important, then ruthlessly iterate to arrive at an elegant solution—codified design methods and structures are no substitute. We know getting this right is the core of building great products.
About us
Atticus is a Melbourne-based scale-up founded in 2017 and that offers the leading technology in document fact-checking. We are on a mission to bring more truth to the world of business. Our software helps our customers—law firms, listed companies, and funds—fact-check critical documents before they're disclosed to market. Our users love Atticus because we save them a lot of pain in high pressure, high stakes work.
We're a growing, global company. We're used by 95% of Australian corporate law firms, 30% of the UK Top 30 law firms, over 40% of the ASX50 and 35% of the ASX100. We're product-led, and we win by building tools that solve our users' most important problems.
About the role
As a Senior Product designer with Atticus you'll be instrumental in crafting user experiences and designing solutions that meet our customers' needs while upholding unwavering product quality. Key aspects of this role day to day include:
Leading design end to end: Leveraging your deep understanding of UX principles and research, customer interviews, fat marker sketching, high fidelity mockups and prototyping to lead projects from inception to execution and beyond. Collaborating: You will be working closely not just with our users, but with our engineers, founders, other designers and the wider product team. You will be well versed in the art of design critiques and know how to bounce ideas to arrive at great solutions. Design thinking: You can cut the fat off your ideas and find simple outcomes. You can take complex problems and arrive at an elegant, polished solution. Contributing to a growing design culture: The problems we're trying to solve often need to be unpicked, combed out and clarified. This is a person who feels comfortable asking questions, overcoming complexities and communicating their mental model, always with an attitude of sharing and learning together. About you
We want creative, curious, and self-driven people who are interested in building something of lasting value. The people who are likely to thrive at Atticus are conscientious problem solvers.
If the following sounds like you, then definitely get in touch:
Creative and flexible: we're a small team doing things that nobody has done before, so you'll want to be excited about tackling unknown problems and pitching in to help even when you don't quite feel like you know exactly what you're doing. Natural communicator: communication is a first class skill, particularly in a remote world, so we take this seriously. More than just good spelling and grammar, you're great at building relationships and getting things done with others, whether it's through Slack, Zoom or in person. Measure twice, cut once: we believe that long term, true velocity and agility comes from putting in enough planning that you can move fast without breaking things. "Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast." Bias toward action: generally, when in doubt, you give something a try and see if it works. Yes, doing the right thing is best, but doing the wrong thing is generally better than doing nothing at all. Outcome-focussed: you don't confuse a great slide deck for genuine user outcomes. You're able to separate the process from the outcome, and if you're blocked on the process you were expecting to take, you try other ways of getting that outcome. The following aren't mandatory (just nice to have) but if you have any of the below, we'd love to hear from you:
Industry knowledge: you've got a law degree, worked as a lawyer, or in investor relations, corporate affairs, ESG, finance, or governance of a listed company or fund. High growth environment: you've worked in a scale-up that's grown fast and scaled processes Benefits
