ABOUT KARBON

Karbon is the global leader in practice management software for growth-minded accounting firms. We provide an award-winning, highly collaborative cloud platform that streamlines work and communication, enabling the average accounting firm using Karbon to save 16 hours per week, per employee.

Karbon is looking for an experienced Product Designer to join our top-quality Product Design team to help invent the future of the Karbon product. We are about to tackle some really big things and need experienced end-to-end Product Designers with the full suite of UX, UI, and visual design skills to make it happen — if this sounds like you, let’s talk.

ABOUT YOU

Candidates with the following qualifications and experience are encouraged to apply:

• Extensive professional experience designing high-quality digital products
• Top-tier UX, layout, and visual design skills — this team is responsible for end-to-end product design from concept to go-to-market, so you’ll need the full suite of skills to make it happen
• Maturity to discuss ideas critically, contribute to strategic decisions, and always be open to adopting someone else’s idea if it’s better than your own
• A fascination with experimentation, testing, and analytics — if a new design doesn’t achieve its aim better than the last one, then what was the point?
• Confident writer of short-form content — words are design too
• Based in Sydney and ideally able to join the office 2 days/week

Karbon embraces diversity and inclusion, aligning with our values as a business. Research has shown that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single criteria. If you’ve made it this far in the job description but your past experience doesn’t perfectly align, we do encourage you to still apply. You could still be the right person for the role!
When we look for talent to join our team, we want unique, creative, and amazing people that align with values, and help us build a world-class product and company.
Diversity and inclusion are fundamental to who we are, and what has always made us tick.
We recruit and reward people based on capability and performance. We don’t discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, lifestyle, age, educational background, national origin, religion, physical or cognitive ability, and other diversity dimensions, that may hinder inclusion in the organization.
Generally, if you are a good person, we want to talk to you.
If there are any adjustments or accommodations that we can make to assist you during the recruitment process, and your journey at Karbon, contact us at people.support@karbonhq.com for a confidential discussion.

This is a senior role that will work closely with the Design, Product Management, and Engineering teams to research, understand user needs and explore design solutions to push the Karbon product to be the global leader in practice management.
You’ll drive projects big and small, assess problems, take ownership, find solutions, and see things through to delivery with autonomy. You’ll communicate clearly with your colleagues and lend a helping hand when needed.

Some of your main responsibilities will include:

• Design leadership — working alongside Product Managers and Tech Leads to deliver successful solutions
• Applying your design expertise and experience to all aspects of the product design process
• Providing design solutions that solve customer and business needs while maintaining a high-quality, premium customer experience across the product
• Developing user stories, prototypes, design mockups, and detailed specs to communicate the design solution to the team
• Providing constructive, detailed feedback to your sprint team
• Being a thoughtful and passionate voice for design
• Mentoring less experienced colleagues
• Being the guardian of the brand experience in product — simplicity, usability, and quality should always be a part of your decision-making process
• Discussing and debating design concepts robustly to find the best possible solutions
• Constantly thinking about new ways to improve the efficiency of your design process while maintaining high design standards
