Technology has made human life easier; from booking holidays and banking, through to meeting new people and work opportunities. But over the last decade owning and driving cars has gotten far tougher. At AA-X we are on a mission to re-invent the car ownership and usage experience.
We imagine, build and grow connected car ventures. Using data and AI to provide car and driver insights with new solutions that give drivers control, confidence and a little joy across their motoring lives.

As a Product Designer at AA-X, you’ll collaborate with a team of talented and passionate individuals to design, launch, and incubate next-generation B2B and B2C connected car products that revolutionise the car ownership experience.
You’ll define, design, research, prototype, and implement new features, as well as iterating on existing ones. We’re seeking a Designer who is enthusiastic about leveraging new technology to solve problems and dedicated to creating transformative user experiences. You should possess a blend of interaction design, visual design, and product thinking skills. Being customer-obsessed and research-driven is essential.

* Facilitate workshops, present designs, prototypes, and concepts to cross-functional partners and stakeholders, while actively demonstrating AA-X values and behaviours.
What do I need?
* Showcase Your Skills: Demonstrable portfolio of visual design, interaction design, and product thinking showcasing your experience with designing for both B2B and B2C environments across web and app. Experienced within both start-up and corporate organisations.
* Design with Purpose: Utilise your deep understanding of user-centred design methods, UX research, and product discovery to create clear, impactful designs. Experience with data visualisation is a plus!
* Solve Real Problems: Focused on creating experiences that address user problems and business opportunities. Your designs will balance qualitative and quantitative insights, driving real business outcomes.
* Collaborate and Innovate: Experienced with engineering, product owners, and data science teams. Tooling experience utilising Figma, Miro, and Jira to bring your ideas to life. Experience with Design Systems (Figma/Storybook) is a big plus.
* Communicate and Inspire: Comfortable with presenting your work to broader product teams and leaders, clearly articulating goals, concepts, and designs. Your storytelling and facilitation skills will engage and inspire cross-functional teams.
