Product Designer

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Product Designer to not only modify our core app product features, but to redesign many of the flows to make them better. We expect our designer to iteratively create a design framework and components for use across the platforms. Our biggest problem at the moment is getting from “functional” to “wow”

Who are we?

High quality talent and large enterprises are moving towards a more flexible model of work that benefits both sides. By being flexible and project based, professional freelancers are able to work on interesting projects, gain valuable skills, and produce more outcomes, vs. being in traditional roles. Enterprises are also able to move much faster by getting the right skills, at the right time, while reducing risk and increasing the speed and quality of project outcomes.

The world is changing, and Outsized is playing a big part. Outsized is a curated talent marketplace that helps large enterprises, in growth markets, find professional freelancers on-demand. We are present in Southeast Asia, South Africa, India and the Middle East.

We have a super strong team of founders that have experience in marketplace building, growth markets, technology, and financial services. Our CPO, Azeem, leads the entire product and engineering team and has worked for and built amazing products at companies like Housing.com, Qure.ai and ShopX. This one’s going to be bigger and better!

You will be joining a team that has, on a bootstrap budget, built a strong cash-flow generating business with over 20,000 quality assured professional freelancers on the platform, and over 100 global enterprises including some of the biggest global consulting firms and financial services companies out there (wish we could name them, but we can’t!)

But now, we are ready to scale into the big leagues with an amazing investor that is backing our Series A. And that is where YOU come in. Our business is growing rapidly and there are so many opportunities to do cool things with us.
