UX/Product designer

WELCOME TO UTOPIA

Music is incredible. It can excite hundreds, and unite thousands. But as an industry, it has been slow, complicated, and disparate. While the tech world has moved into the future, the music industry continues to be shaped by inefficient systems of the past. At Utopia we believe there is a better way. Which is why today we are setting out to transform the entire industry; creating new revenue streams, consolidating the data and decluttering the admin. Unlocking the industry’s full potential by unifying it all in one truly holistic space. Some might call that a Utopia.

Funnily enough, so do we. Welcome to Utopia. Where music lives.

WHAT UTOPIANS DO

We are building a better world for music with innovative big data technology that tracks online music sources and translates them into meaningful music consumption reports for royalty collection. The solution we’re building does not threaten to usurp the role of industry incumbents - it is about bringing transparency in the industry and supporting efficient royalty collection.

WHAT YOUR ROLE WILL BE

In this role you will be working in a cross-functional team with the responsibility of adding a dimension of awesomeness to our product experience. Your involvement in product development will stretch all the way from the discovery phase to the product roll-out. You will be expected to actively contribute to our understanding of our customers and to turn that insight into a kick-ass customer experience.

The UX/Product Designer is part of the Design function, but operates in a dedicated cross-functional product team with it’s own clear objectives and metrics. It will be your task to represent our customers' needs and desires in the product team, and to contribute to the collective wisdom and best practice knowledge of the Design function.

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

You will be counted on to uncover insights so you are comfortable with applying qualitative research methodologies to learn more about our customers’ challenges and needs
Your teammates in the product team will be dependant on the insights you bring to the table, so you will need to be able to turn these into actionable improvements of the product experience


A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience.”

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

You have a holistic view of the entire customer journey, and through this you can find the most effective ways of improving the end-to-end product experience
You can visualize and create user experiences that are both effective and simultaneously emotionally satisfying


Make it simple, but significant.”

Don Draper
