UX/UI creator and generalist
-
At Aptivate we don’t have job titles. We are generalists with cross-cutting skills and responsibilities, and most of us specialize in a few areas, for example, software development, project management or design. We often change roles depending on what needs doing and how a team is made up. We are all responsible for the organisation’s wellbeing. There’s currently nine of us and we often find that we need more capacity to work in a Lead UX or Visual design role.
We are looking for a generalist, with user experience and visual design skills. However, this is more than just a UX/UI design role. At Aptivate we are equally responsible for setting and working towards our mission. You would have equal ownership and responsibility over Aptivate and become part of what makes it work.

A desire to use their skills to help others
Passion for working in international development
