Gelato’s UX Organisation:

The UX Design team at Gelato drives our business forward with energy and pace. We solve problems, wielding data and intuition in equal measure, and find innovative approaches to many of the complex challenges we encounter as we continue to scale our business. We encourage thinking entrepreneurially about how to make progress: We operate in an ecosystem of solutions and services, and many of the problems we face have already been solved in some form by others. 

By joining Gelato, you become a valued member of the UX team. We are a bunch of individuals with different backgrounds and hobbies who are passionate about design. We are made up of researchers, interaction and visual designers, sharing a common goal to build and grow our UX practice across the organisation. Our vision is to have all product teams adopt user-centred design principles in each project, where decisions are made with data, thoughtfully considering our end-users. 

We meet to learn from each other almost weekly and develop frameworks that promote high-quality design decisions. We have initiatives to improve our research and design process, establish a design system and socialise our research repository. We value the experience and expertise of our team members. Everyone is encouraged to share ideas and shape the future of our practice. 

The Process

We aim for a fast and respectful process, and it should hopefully take no longer than five weeks. The process will involve four rounds: an interview with our talent team, a portfolio interview with the Head of UX, a set of competency-based panel interviews (three interviews), and a final interview with our founder.For the portfolio interview, we trust that the right candidates can demonstrate their capabilities through their previous work, so we do not give take-home tests. Instead, you will be asked to present one or two previous projects from your portfolio. Please do not forget to attach your portfolio with the application.

We are a customer-obsessed team with the ambition to change the world by connecting technology to the printing industry and making it much more sustainable.

Our culture is unique and we live by our values, so it's worth learning more about our culture and how we work before presenting your application.

At Gelato, we pride ourselves on our global presence with 16 offices worldwide, fostering a dynamic and diverse work environment. Rooted in a culture that values collaboration, creativity, and camaraderie, we actively cultivate a company culture that thrives on shared experiences. We encourage team members to embrace this culture by working from our inspiring office spaces at least three days a week, allowing for meaningful connections and collective growth. 

Lastly, we ask that you please upload your CV in English, regardless of which country you are applying from.
