Who we are

At ACT Commodities we trade environmental products and help our clients reach their environmental and sustainability objectives through trading products such as carbon offsets, environmental certificates, biofuels and many others. We do this by utilizing our knowledge and network. We are a young-minded company with 200+ ambitious people from all over the world, all working in an open environment where no day is the same.

The role

You are continuously collaborating with the product manager and tech lead - from discovery to delivery. You strive for a best in class user experience and together you form a core troika that will be measured on the success of the product.

You are focused on the actual customers and the value that our product brings to them. You understand how the product serves our business and can incorporate those constraints in your design. That great user experience unlocks the value of the product is a given for you.

We at ACT believe User Experience goes far beyond the User Interface and so do you. For you UX is the way that customers realize the value of the product end-to-end and you think about all the touch points that a customer has with a product – from mobile to support to email campaigns.

You are comfortable designing for customers at different stages throughout the customer lifecycle:

  • How will they learn about the product?
  • How do we onboard them successfully?
  • How do we motivate customers to use the product more?
  • How do we create interactions that create delight and gratification?
  • How do we make the customer advocates of our platform?

Key areas of responsibility

  • Prototyping - you use prototypes as the primary canvas for communicating ideas. You are comfortable with many different prototyping tools and can quickly bring ideas to life.
  • User Testing - you continuously validate and test your ideas with customers and collect insights. Together with the product manager you use user testing to not only assess usability but also assess the value of their ideas.
  • Interaction design - You focus on the behavior of the product and the underlying conceptual models (a note taking application might have notes, folders and tags), the task flows and interactions.
  • Visual design - you understand the value of how the application looks and feels and incorporate typography, layout and how the brand is expressed throughout the user interface.

Experience

  • >3 years working experience as a UX Designer or similar role;
  • Bachelor’s degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction or related field;
  • Experience with rapid prototyping based on customer insights;
  • Experience with SaaS based products;
  • Affinity with usability testing;
  • Having set up or contributed to a design system is a plus.

Skills

  • Intellectual curiosity
  • Creativity
  • Persistence

What we offer

  • Competitive remuneration and bonus scheme;
  • Business- and communication-related trainings;
  • Relocation budget (when applicable);
  • Exciting quarterly target incentives;
  • Kickboxing and football;
  • In-house Life Coach.
