Description

Don’t sit in meetings for a mission you don’t care about. Build tools to learn faster at Grasp.

Company

The mission of Grasp is to increase the rate at which humans learn. A decade from now, Grasp will be able to take anyone from novice to mastery, in any field, ASAP. We will be the centre of learning.

We’ve raised $4M+ from top tier investors including Balderton, Point9, and Mozilla! Our founders are Ed Matthews and Jacob Sidorov, who built Revolut’s trading desk together, and are both avid self-learners.

Grasp is also a member of Makerversity, a pioneering community of over 350 world-leading entrepreneurs, creators and innovators.

Role

Find out what users need and give it to them.

We are looking for a skilful product designer who actively wants to join a startup (read: intra-day iteration, large responsibility, high uncertainty, lots of fun!)

You will be responsible for creating a high output design function which drives product at Grasp. This function will initially just be composed of yourself, reporting directly to the cofounders, and interacting directly with engineers and users.

The remit is broad. Everything from product-level (e.g. GTM, business models, JTBD definitions, brand) all the way down to low-level interface changes (e.g. on-hover effects, corner sharpness, gradient selection), with UX consideration and a minimum viable design system between. Your north star is product-market-fit. If you need to understand something, you’ll often need to work it out yourself (e.g. don’t feel familiar with the user, go talk to one!) We are intentionally a lean outfit to facilitate learning through osmosis.

This is a hybrid office position requiring you to be in London regularly.

Requirements

Essential

You…

• have an excellent 10+ year track-record of designing user interfaces for products that were shipped.
• have built or scaled design systems before (we don’t expect you to be a full-time “design system designer”, but you will be responsible for this area).
• are comfortable conducting user research at a startup, especially user interviews.
• have a history of clearly communicating concepts and designs via sketches, wireframes, high fidelity mockups, and prototypes.
• are abreast of both fashion and best practices when it comes to human interface design.
• are skilled in service design, capable of running discovery and ideation workshops for a multidisciplinary team.
• are comfortable making decisions and taking responsibility for them, whatever the outcome.
• have great communication skills (concise updates, high openness, good collaborator).
• are comfortable giving and receiving candid feedback.
• have excellent self-organisation skills.
• love learning and wish you could do it faster.

Nice to Have

You…

• have designed products which enhance environments (e.g. browser extensions, HUDs, smart glasses, self-driving vehicle interfaces).
• have experience designing products which incorporate direct user interaction with large language models.
• are proficient with any part of our technology stack: React, TypeScript, Python, SQL (Postgres).
• have been deeply involved in a successful branding exercise.

(Startup) Benefits

• Invested: A mission you care about. A stock option plan designed for long term alignment.
• Compensated: Reasonable base salary. Breakfast/dinner when at the office.
• Tools: New Macbook Pro ? Herman Miller chair ? Just let us know what you need to be productive.
• In flow: Short feedback loops, ultra-aligned team, direct user contact, no wasteful meetings or politics.

About The Liminal Space

We are a purpose-led creative studio that translates some of the toughest issues facing our society today into tangible and engaging objects, spaces and experiences. Our aim is to empower people to actively participate in developing positive social and health outcomes within their communities.

Our multidisciplinary team works with organisations that are excited about exploring new ways of engaging audiences, generating research insights and solving strategic challenges. These include some of the country’s top universities, independent funders and government bodies such as The Wellcome Trust, Nesta, The Francis Crick Institute, The Health Foundation, The Barbican, The Natural History Museum, UCL and The University of Cambridge. Our work has led to us being shortlisted as Emerging Design Studio of the Year 2020 by Dezeen, and receiving a Wellcome Trust Sustaining Excellence grant.

About This Role

The role of Art Director-Graphic Designer requires creativity, flexibility, lateral-thinking and the ability to embrace uncertainty – and open-ended briefs. A willingness and the capability to work outside your comfort zone and across diverse materials and formats is essential.

No two days are ever the same. You could be trying to embed research about AI-enabled surgery into a ball pit one day and designing a visual voting mechanism using 100 ping pong balls the next, all while laying out the packaging for a fictional egg freezing company.

As we’re a small team, you’ll be expected to work on projects from concept to design, production and delivery, collaborating with the directors, project managers and creative team along the way. Sometimes you’ll be managing others who are delivering the work, but often it will be you from start to finish. We imagine the role is approximately 60% art direction and 40% hands-on graphic design – but you’ll be flexible enough to slip seamlessly between the two.

Some examples of the work you might be delivering include:

Night Club:

• Developing a bright and bold visual identity, including colour palette, typography and image treatments, inspired by warehouse environments. The identity had to be flexible enough to be used across a really wide range of assets, including exhibitions, posters, socials, products, pop-ups, films, online training assets, printed publications and more…
• Updating the identity over time, following feedback from the audience and learnings from project rollouts

Future of Space:

• Working with the Content Lead to translate the research around the Future of Space into a range of 2D and 3D props, to be used to stimulate conversation in workshop sessions
• Drawing on a range of visual reference points to design a range of props, ensuring these are engaging and understandable to audiences. (Sometimes this work includes more direct visual references – working in the realm of fakes and pastiche)
• Working with the Producer to execute the props to a high standard

Departure Lounge:

• Working with the Creative Director to create an appropriate and engaging visual identity for a sensitive project around death and dying
• Working with the 3D designer to apply this visual concept across a range of exhibition outputs, including large 3D sculptural pieces, wayfinding and window design.
• Applying the identity across printed takeaways, exhibition props, website, socials and more

Mindsets + Missions:

• Developing a fun and flexible visual identity for a suite of workshop elements, designed to stimulate deep discussion around the future of museums
• Working with the Content Lead and Creative Director to propose forms and formats for the workshop to ensure the graphic elements are supporting and facilitating an engaging, accessible and creative experience

Your Key Responsibilities

Shape the visual identity

Maintain excellence

• Provide feedback on work created by freelance and internal designers.

• Able to demonstrate a thoughtful approach to audience experience and accessibility across multiple outputs.
• Eager to see a project through from start to finish.
• Excited by a challenge and the idea that no two projects you work on will be the same.
• Cool-headed in the face of looming deadlines, client feedback and unforeseen hurdles, and good at managing multiple demands on your time.
• Highly collaborative and happy to work closely with our directors, project managers and creative team.
• Keen to be part of a purpose-led company that works to make society better.

Your experience:

• You have at least 8 years professional experience creating bold and impactful visual identities and applying them across a range of outputs, including working closely and collaboratively within a team to execute projects to the highest quality. Minimum 4 years professional graphic design experience required.
• You are fluent in Adobe software (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop,) and demonstrate professional levels of execution across formats, particularly print. Desirable experience also includes Figma, Premier, Squarespace and Readymag.
• You have worked closely with design support, freelancers and suppliers to bring complex, multifaceted creative projects to life. Direct line management experience is desirable but not required.
• You are able to artwork to a professional standard across physical and digital outputs, working with suppliers to achieve high quality outputs.

What We Offer

And—Now is a London-based creative agency that works with innovative businesses across the globe. We specialise in brand identity, visual messaging and ideas-based campaigns, helping our clients to identify their ‘meaningful difference’ and communicate it to maximum effect, through ambitious graphical solutions. We’re looking for a brilliant middleweight designer as the next addition to our growing team.

Interested?
 We’re in need of a curious, imaginative designer who is eager to learn and keen to contribute their ideas. This role is a brilliant opportunity to make your mark in a fast-growing team. You will have a minimum of 3 years’ experience in a similar agency (ideally with a focus on branding), and we’d love you to show us how you can take an idea from concept to execution in a well-rounded, imaginative portfolio.

As an agency we are proud to be small but perfectly formed, with excellent industry connections and the ability to generate and fulfil imaginative, research-driven ideas. Our mission (soon to be yours) is to fully immerse ourselves in the wide and varied work of our clients and develop beneficial creative solutions to be truly proud of.
We are happily multi-disciplinary, and require a designer with the enthusiasm to take on anything and everything. You don’t need to be able to turn your hand to every piece of software just yet, but a willingness to learn and grow as a designer is absolutely instrumental for all of our team members.

You’ll need:
•    Excellent conceptual and design skills (no surprises there).
•    A passion for research-fuelled design solutions (show us your sketchbooks and idea generation process!).
•    A varied portfolio of work – ideally with evidence of previous branding projects – all with rationale and the evidence of the process behind them.
•    Ability to articulate yourself and your work in front of the team.
•    Ability to take initiative and accept constructive feedback from other team members and clients.
•    Ability to work independently and collaboratively as the task at hand dictates.
•    Excellent working knowledge of Adobe CC.
•    A stickler for time management, and an ability to multitask and prioritise.
•    A can-do, conscientious attitude.

Nice to have:
•    Good working knowledge of Figma.
•    Understanding of the process of website build, HTML and CSS (other code languages a bonus!).
•    Previous experience liaising directly with development partners.
•    Understanding of WordPress as a content management system.
•    Working knowledge of Google Suite (creating Google slides and docs templates).
•    Experience with moving image.
•    Excellent quality of written communication (an interest in copywriting a bonus!).
•    A desire to expand and cultivate your presentation skills.

How do we work?
•    Everyone does everything, no one is above or below any project and every input is valid: from intern to director. This role is highly collaborative, and you will be called to share your ideas in group crits with every member of the team.
•    Accountability is important to us: we take responsibility for our work (even if we make mistakes!).
•    We create and maintain boundaries between work life, home life and clients. That requires you to be 100% present when you’re in the studio.
•    We have a firm emphasis on participation, transparency and friendly, passionate discussion.
•    We make sure everyone gets heard.
•    We aren’t precious about ideas, they will be dismantled and made into something even better.
•    We always support and recognise success.
•    We have empathy with colleagues and clients and focus on cultivating relationships with people.
•    We pledge to always keep learning and embrace the new, taking risks, but not at the expense of deadlines.

Working Routine:
Our working routine revolves around three compulsory in-studio days each week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). You will be based in our studio in Manor House, N4 and must enjoy the company of studio dogs. The remainder of the week is spent working remotely, though it will be possible to work more days from the office if you want.

Virtual vs Face-to-Face Interview?
If this sounds like the right fit for you, drop us an email. We’d like a short intro about yourself, why you think you’d be a good fit for the team and a PDF of two or three (maximum!) of your favourite projects. Try to include some branding work if you have it. You’ll need to have your full portfolio for the interview. We look forward to meeting you!
