Design

Pento is a payroll solution that ensures People and Finance teams can run stress-free payroll without any errors by automating repetitive manual tasks, removing payroll deadlines, and offering expert payroll guidance. We're a remote-first company, pushing forward how we work for the better. You can learn more about us in our public handbook, Pento Home.

As our first Brand Design hire, you will take on a critical role in designing, evolving and owning our brand. Reporting to our Head of Marketing, you will work with our Marketing and Product Design teams to play a leading role across our visual design system and brand development. Your primary focus will be to create and drive our brand identity and take ownership of the design of our marketing, sales and customer success collaterals.

💡 We're committed to building a team capable of building a product for everyone, representing different and varied backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. We welcome applications from everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, civil or family status, age, disability, and just about anything else.

Our levelling 🪜

The salary band for this role is £62-70k. Titles and compensation at Pento are dependent on our internal levelling (L1-6), which we'll assess and talk more about throughout the interview process.

The role 💬

• Develop, unify and guide our brand, together with the broader Product Design team
• Communicate the value of Pento in design, typography, colour and illustration
• Partner with the Marketing, Sales and Customer Success teams to develop collateral to engage our audience and drive growth
• Own and drive our various assets including but not limited to: marketing campaigns, sales collateral and content such as blogs and guides
• Own the design of our website. The website is built on Webflow, however prior knowledge of Webflow is not required, but willingness to learn is
• Contribute to our design system so it’s coherent throughout our brand and product

Why you should be excited about design at Pento 🤩

• While you’ll be the first design hire in the marketing team, you will be part of our broader Design team and have great design colleagues who nerd out about the newest products and brands, just like you
• Work with our product design team to bring our brand into the product. We always default to accessible solutions, but you’ll play a big role in bringing a little expression and joy into the product via your brand work

Your experience ✨

• You have operated within an independent role before, where you have led decisions about longer-term brand building and short-term execution. You will collaborate with many people across Pento, however you will play a leading role in shaping your work and contribution
• You have experience within the digital design industry, at a tech-forward, product-driven company. We’re open to reviewing applications from career-freelancers or agency-side, however the scope of an in-house tech role is likely to better suit what we’re looking for
• You have an experienced and informed understanding of the formal elements of design, not just limited to the web, and including typography, layout, balance, and proportion
• You’re able to quickly and creatively produce designs and compelling solutions
• You love your craft, being very hands-on, and constantly pushing yourself to deliver your best work
• You’re comfortable with some ambiguity and changing priorities. We’re not as unstructured as you might think (!) but we are a start-up and change what we’re doing fast if it’s not working
• You’re a strong communicator, able to articulate your ideas and gather input from others
• You're self-motivated. Because we’re remote-first, we will trust you to take initiative, making sure that you’re working on this week’s most important thing and communicating effectively
• Bonus: You have skills in illustration and/or motion design
• Bonus: You’re familiar with UI design

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Hello, UX Extraordinaire.

We are looking for an exceptional person to join our team, but we’ll go more into those details shortly. First, let’s talk about why this role and our company might be a good fit for you and your skills.

Why work at Yoko Co?

• Mission. We work with mission-driven clients. This is a chance to do work that has a genuinely positive impact on the world.
• 4-Day Work Week. We offer “flex” Mondays off. You’ll get most Mondays off. We’re still a high-performance culture, so periodically, you’ll still need to log some Monday hours to keep projects moving.
• Holiday Breaks. We offer nearly a week off at Thanksgiving and two weeks off for Christmas.
• Best Place to Work. We were named 2020 and 2021 Best Place to Work by the Inc. 5000 and Washington Business Journal.
• High Caliber Team with Kindness. You’ll work with team members who are both top performers and genuinely kind and supportive.

Everything we do reflects a rare and authentic commitment to our values. We’re committed to having a positive impact in the world, and doing truly great work while supporting the life balance we all want as human beings. This combination is rare, and so is the degree to which we genuinely live those values and work them into the DNA of how our company operates on a day-to-day basis. We’re looking for others who share those values. If you do, you’ll find Yoko Co is an uncommonly amazing place to work and contribute.

If you work here, you’ll:

• Do research, conduct interviews, and create strategies to help our clients increase their impact and achieve their missions.
• Be more than just a “person with a plan.” You’ll also help execute, get your hands dirty, and do what needs to be done.
• Be involved at critical points throughout the full process, from wireframes to design concepts, from the first kickoff meeting to the final QA.
• Collaborate closely with designers, developers, and project managers, to ensure everyone is on the same page and working towards a common goal.
• Guide organizations along a path of digital transformation, helping them refine their web presence, and increase their impact.

You’ll do well in this job if you:

• Have created UX deliverables like Personas, User Flows, Information Architectures, and Sitemaps at a high level of execution and complexity.
• Have direct experience contributing to the strategic aspects of website redesign. (Ideally, you should have 10+ non-academic projects under your belt.)
• Understand the principles of UI/UX design and marketing that get results, including the buyer’s journey, conversion orientation, calls to action, marketing automation, and more.
• Are flexible and understand that sometimes you’ll have to wear an unexpected hat or two when the situation calls for it.
• Hold yourself accountable and deliver on your commitments.
• Love sharing your knowledge and helping to level up your colleagues and clients.

However, maybe don’t apply if:

• You prefer to work on a single big project at a time. We all have to do a bit of juggling around here, and while we wish we could pour ourselves into just one thing for weeks at a time to make it perfect, that’s often not the reality.
• You’ve ever said “that’s not my job” or “that’s below my pay grade.” While we try to utilize everyone in the best way we possibly can, sometimes things can get dicey and we have to pitch in to help reach the finish line.

The interview process:

You’ll do 3-4 interviews with various members of our team, starting with a short culture interview, and then moving onto more specialized conversations. Somewhere in the middle of the process, you’ll likely do a short practical test to ensure you can deliver at the level it takes to be successful here.

What you get:

You’ll get a competitive salary, unlimited time off, a flexible schedule, the ability to work wherever you want, a personal development budget, federal holidays and multiple weeks off at the end of the year to recharge. If you’re in the US, we also offer health insurance, disability and life insurance, and 401k matching.

A little more about us:

Our team is made up of people who are passionate about the work they do, the clients they serve, and, importantly, their craft. We also care about each other — we don’t think of one another as coworkers or employees, but as fellow humans. From developers to designers, project managers to strategists, we bring out the best in each other.

We’ve been in business for over a decade, our whole team is remote, we were named a 2020 and 2021 Best Place to Work by the Inc. 5000 and the Washington Business Journal, and you can poke around our website if you want to know more.

To apply:

If you’re interested, send an email to careers@yokoco.com with the subject line “UX Extraordinaire” — While you’re at it, we’d love to learn a bit more about you and get a link to your portfolio or see some of your work.

We take applicants from all over the world. However, you must be willing to work a schedule that has a reasonable overlap with normal US business hours.

Rayon’s mission

• Rayon is building the next generation of architectural design software. More collaborative, simpler, smarter, and more beautiful.
• The design of buildings and spaces has a huge impact on our lives. Climate change, affordable housing, sustainable urbanization, future of work: all of these challenges will require us to design a better and more efficient built environment.
• Although architectural design is in essence a collaborative endeavor, the tools currently used by architects and designers are not made for collaboration and sharing knowledge. They are complex, they are expensive, and they are stuck in an era pre-internet with desktop computers as their paradigm.
• We are building a browser-based collaborative real-time multiplayer floor plan editor in order to democratize architectural design and empower designers to create more efficient spaces and buildings.

Who are we?

• We are a small team of people passionate about web technology, architecture and the built environment. First and foremost, we love building amazing tools for creators.
• Rayon was co-founded in October 2021 by Bastien Dolla, an engineer (Polytechnique & Ponts et chaussées) with 15 years of experience in tech and real estate, and Stanislas Chaillou, an engineer and an architect (EPFL & Harvard) with a background in ML research applied to architecture. Both have published research papers on AI algorithms applied to architectural design (for example here, here, and here) and have already been co-founders or early employees of previous high-growth startups at the crossroads of tech and real estate (habx.com, spacemakerai.com).
• Rayon is backed by world-class Investors (Seedcamp, 20VC, Foundamental, Kima) and amazing business Angels such as Ralph Gootee, co-founder of plangrid (acq. by Autodesk), Joe Thomas co-founder and CEO of Loom , Thibaud Elziere founder of eFounders, Nicolas Steegmann co-founder of Stupeflix, Riggs Kubiak founder of Honest buildings (acq. Procore), Jonathan Widawski founder & CEO of Maze.
• Rayon is a French company based in Paris. We are open to remote positions in time zones close to European Central Time. You would be one of the first employees of the company.

What you will be doing

As a Senior Product Designer, you will:

• Own and craft the UX and UI of our offering. As an extensive user-friendly design tool, your work will be quintessential to delivering Rayon values to our users.
• Work on flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals.
• Work closely with the rest of the product team and the engineering team to contribute to the development of Rayon’s web application.
• Contribute to overall strategy and decision-making about product direction.

What are we looking for?

💡 These points are here to give you an idea of what we think would be a good fit for the job. They are not hard requirements. If you do not fit them perfectly but feel like you would do the job well, do not hesitate to contact us!

• First and foremost, a passion for creating tools for creators with the highest quality and performance.
• Strong design skills.
• Love for ergonomics, for simple yet efficient interface design, for user-centric experience, and design systems. An interest in software design is a plus!
• The ability and the desire to continually learn new things and improve.
• At least 4+ years of experience in product design. A strong portfolio is definitely a plus. Some experience crafting design tools also (but not mandatory).
• Interest or past experience with architectural or interior design projects is a bonus.

Why should you join Rayon?

• Help create a product that has the potential to profoundly change for the best how our built environment is designed, and that can help spread architectural knowledge throughout the world.
• Be part of a small team of passionate members whose culture puts the highest value on design and engineering craftsmanship.
• Define and craft the design logic of the next generation of design tools.
• Competitive compensation and significant equity upside as one of Rayon's first team members.

What’s our process?

• Send an email at stan@rayon.so, with your website/Figma portfolio.
• We’ll do a first 30-minute call to get to know each other
• We’ll then do a more in-depth interview, where we can explore some of your personal projects, and go through some design case studies together. This will be the opportunity for you to learn more about Rayon’s design philosophy.
• A longer call (if possible IRL) with both co-founders to talk about vision and company culture.
• That’s it. You’ll get an offer if it’s a fit!
