Title:                             UX specialist

Details:                        Full Time, Cape Town Based. 

Reporting into:             Head of Development

Effective date:             Immediately

Company and Role Summary:

We’re looking for a UX Specialist to join our ranks. But we’ll only call the good ones back.

We know, as do you if you’re the right person, that technology and advertising are fast becoming bonded to one another. We know that if an agency team can’t handle and interpret big data, iterate responsive development solutions and has no interest in the Internet of Things that they’ll fall behind the curve faster than Adobe can release updates. We’re after team members who know this and more. Bring a winning smile and attitude, plus a host of things we don’t already know and you’ll be well on your way to forming part of a business that genuinely believes in championing technology in the creative space.

We’re collaborative, young, obsessed with innovation and entirely undeterred by difficult problems. We tackle any challenge head on, creatively.

Get in touch if you’d like to combine your serious technology skills with your creativity more often – coding isn’t sexy to many in the industry, but we’d love you to come and prove our suspicion that the future of the industry is where expertly crafted pixels meet eager eyeballs.
