**Would be an advantage**
— Experience working with UI/UX designers.

**Responsibilities**
— Processing tasks on the products of existing and new clients of the studio — working with the brief and requirements, searching for a match between the project and the competence of the designer(s), setting up tasks, and monitoring the timing and quality of the work performed;
— Operational work — compiling estimates and investing in them, fixing how many hours someone spent on what, generating full-fledged reports from this to the client, maneuvering between deadlines to manage the load of designers (usually, each designer of the studio participates in from 1 to 3 projects at the same time);
— Planning and self-development — together with the designers of the studio, track trends and effectively implement them in clients’ products, and develop both through personal enthusiasm and through the company’s plans to strengthen the team’s expertise;
— Live the story of the client’s product together with the studio team, fight for its implementation as if it were your own personal product;
— We do not expect that the candidate will be able to work independently in Figma or Draw.io from the first day, but given the specifics of the studio, we assume that they will be able, if necessary, to rivet a quick mockup for the client, estimate the mindmap of the application and discuss it with the design team.
