About the role

Design at AltoVita plays an essential role in ensuring the product is intuitive and efficient, helping free up smart people to work on hard problems for their organisations rather than the busy work that often comes with their jobs. We hold design to a higher standard than others in the industry, and it’s an important differentiator for us. The user experience is essential in building trust with our customers so they can feel confident that important aspects of their business run without fail for their employees. As designers, we’re responsible for creating these experiences that solve real everyday problems for employees.

This role will primarily support consumer-facing products (B2B and B2B2C), emphasising the importance of design, as our team is passionate about creating intuitive and efficient experiences. This hands-on position for a senior-level product designer aligns with AltoVita's commitment to elevating design standards, ultimately aiding our clients and their employees in running their operations more effectively and contributing to our rapid growth toward Series B.

Although we operate as a remote company, we value the importance of face-to-face interactions, both internally and externally. We host regular office days in London which allows a blend of remote and in-person engagement to ensure effective collaboration and alignment with our company's ethos.
