Student Engagement - UX Designer (50%)

We are looking for a talented student currently pursuing a degree in interaction design, computer science, or related fields. You'll work closely with our UX Designer to further develop our portfolio management and trading system, Polaris.

You work well in teams, have strong communication skills, and are not afraid to take initiative and speak with people across different roles.

What you will do

Improve and work on our design system
Document interaction patterns and information architecture to ensure consistency across the platform
Conduct user research within our different investment areas
Collaborate with developers and stakeholders to turn insights into solutions
Help us continuously improve the user experience of our portfolio management tools

Have a true curiosity about complex systems (interest in finance is a bonus!)
Be structured and self-driven
Not be afraid to ask questions or bring new ideas to the table
Be in your 2nd-4th year of studies in interaction design, computer science, or similar

Do you have a portfolio, or a project you've been working on either at school or privately? We would love to see it! It doesn't have to look pretty, but we are interested in getting a peek into how you work and think.
