Mid-Weight UX Designer at Ten Group

The Role

• We are looking for an experienced UX designer to be part of Ten’s progression to a product led organisation and to be responsible for the visual aesthetics of the largest, and most innovative, concierge platform globally.
• Reporting to our Head of Design and based in Ten’s Cape Town office, this position plays a crucial role in ensuring the success of our ambitious product roadmap.

The Product Design team

• We’ve spent the last two years building a digital platform to power our online concierge service, working to serve high-net-worth members on behalf of financial institutions, luxury brands, and companies that place a premium on delivering excellent customer service.
• We work globally, are investing significantly in technology, and have embarked on a journey to being a product-led organisation with technology at its heart. We have made significant programming and infrastructural advances in the past two years, and now have a solid base and foundation to work from. Ten’s digital platform is the first of its kind in the lifestyle sector as a result.
• The Product Design team sits within the wider Product team and is an integral part of both the decision making, the strategy and the final production process.
• The team is currently composed of 6 members, each one with a specific set of skills ranging from UX research and analysis to prototyping, concept creation and production.

Who We Are

At Ten our goal is simple, to become the most trusted service business in the world.

• We are already the global market leader for lifestyle management and concierge services, providing services from a 22 strong global office network with over 800 employees. We use our expertise, technology and buying power to grant our members direct access to the best travel, live entertainment, dining and luxury retail services. We also work closely with suppliers to provide exclusively negotiated benefits and employee loyalty schemes.
• We deliver our service through a combination of Ten’s proprietary, unique technology-enabled platform and the expertise of our highly trained lifestyle managers. Ten is growing quickly and has ambitious plans to keep innovating, inspiring and to continue to improve the lives of millions of members.

Requirements
We are looking for someone who:

• Needs to be based in Cape Town
• Deep experience in UX methodologies and ability to demonstrate it
• An eye for detail and equally comfortable discussing macro vision and finer elements
• Up-to-date with the latest UX - UI trends, techniques, and technologies
• Conceptualizing original ideas that bring simplicity and user friendliness to complex design roadblocks
• Knows how to gather and use data to improve design decisions and test assumptions
• Knows how to iterate a live product so that people using it don’t stop using it
• Wants to keep learning – there’ll be significant opportunity to get deeper in, and closer to, strategy
• Have a knack for connecting the dots by analysing data, analytics and other metrics
• Know what a proper design process looks like and can adjust applied method and techniques to the client’s setting, maturity level and goals
• Cares about craft and can produce low-to-high fidelity prototypes

Benefits

• Our people are at the heart of the business and we have a culture of recognition and reward - both through regular appraisals but also annual Extra Mile Awards where we celebrate those who have gone that extra mile in their role. We also encourage all our staff to incorporate their aspirations and interests into their career at Ten and we are there every step of the way in supporting development.
• All our employees also enjoy a range of benefits regardless of where they are based. Not only do we offer a remote work option, but employees also get 3 extra days of annual leave in their third year and an extra month of every 5 years. In line with these milestone lengths of service, we also operate a Ten Loyalty Reward program - this is a bonus (although we prefer to refer to this as ‘extra spending money’) that is awarded once these milestones are reached. The thinking behind the program is that not only does it recognise and reward commitment and loyalty to the business, but it can also be used to fund the adventures to be had during sabbaticals - this is the main intention and driving force behind the program. We want to give our people extra spending money so that they can truly enjoy their sabbaticals.
• Other benefits that Ten offer, specific to the South Africa office, range between access to ICAS Employee Health and Wellness (EHWP) services which are confidential and free for all employees to use, all the way through to various discounts on both travel and entertainment events (the latter is of course available regardless of location). There are also lots of social events throughout the year as well as a break-out room where employees can relax (or, if they wish, play one of the numerous games we provide!) whilst enjoying our latest fruit drop.
• We also offer a company contribution towards medical aid, transport home for those working a late shift (applies to those who don't have a car) and, one of our more popular perks, working holiday opportunities with the ability to work from any of our 20+ offices without taking annual leave.

Preference will be given to candidates in alignment with the employment equity plan of the organization

Ten works with a small Preferred Suppliers List currently, focused on specialists in each location. Please note we are not accepting any further agencies onto our PSL at this time.
