UI/UX Designer

DESCRIPTION

Coplex is a nationally-ranked Startup Accelerator that works with industry experts to start successful tech companies.

In our structured 9-month program, we help take industry expert founding teams from idea to seed-ready. The program is built on a proven lean startup process and provides support with product development, go-to-market, private events, mentorship, immersive education, fundraising, and much more.

We are looking for a passionate designer to join our team at our Phoenix location.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We crave someone who enjoys co-creating new digital products while collaborating with clients to provide meaningful work. You will be a fantastic fit if you take pride in your work, but are always open to input and suggestions. If you enjoy taking ownership of your tasks and get excited to be stretched out of your comfort zone, this role could be calling your name. We’d love for you to continuously strive to grow in your role and challenge your various skill sets. We love seeing our team members thrive!

Another perk for us is someone who loves to stay up-to-date in the design, product, and UX world. Oh, and of course, gets a kick out of designing damn beautiful applications.

If you geek out about lean experimentation and data as it relates to design, then you sound like our kind of person.
