Principal Design & Creative @XY01

Better Design = Better Business

We are now looking for an outgoing, fast moving and creative principal of design. We are scaling our efforts within brand management and technology development and are now about to “make it real” when it comes to graphic design and strategic UX.

We believe that the magic happens when you combine forces of brand, business strategy, design, intelligence, project management and hard-core development around the actual customer experience of the brand. On all levels.

Believe in the same thing? Well, apply! And obviously, check us out at www.xy01.com .

What will you be doing?

Executive design and creative work within XY01, for our clients and our portfolio of startups. You are pretty good at identity design, and everything that belongs in that bucket. And that most of it is digital is a no-brainer for you. UX for you is the core of how graphic design interacts with technology leadership. And you are not afraid of handling clients and developing our design leg to become cutting edge and leading in its niche.

We also want you to be instrumental in positioning XY01 as a brand & tech accelerator that has great/amazing/outstanding design capabilities.

You will liaise closely with the tech and the strategic brand guys at XY01 and ensure we find areas of opportunity and growth through design — together. You will lead our design efforts and build the department over time.

You clearly know everything from Photoshop to Sketch and Figma, and how to make stuff look amazing in Keynote as well as in an App.

Feel like you need to be sixtythree to know all of this? Doubt it. You need to be a great talent though — and we are known to believe in young people with a mission. So don´t hesitate, if you think you got what it takes, you probably do.

What can we offer

  • Real salary, real partner opportunities in our ventures, a job you can pretty much define yourself with a very high degree of flexibility and quality.
  • We work with the best and most aspirational brands in the Nordics. Maybe you should, too?
  • January 2020 would be a good time to start. We think.

Wow, how do I apply?

Send an email to iwantowork@xy01.com and show us your portfolio and let´s book a meeting to get to know each other. Questions? Call Robert, our CEO at +47 92880111.

Are you a freelancer, but are intrigued, no problem, as said, we are flexible. Let´s talk!
