UI/UX Designer (Contract)

Geora is on a mission to connect every farmer worldwide with financial and data systems, so they can invest in sustainable production and receive fair value for their produce. We are the first SaaS blockchain platform built for agri-supply chains, and provide our customers with digital tools to build the next generation of agriculture. We are a deep tech start-up, and have been leading at the junction of agriculture and blockchain since 2017. 

At Geora, we believe technology can fundamentally change incentive mechanisms, value distribution and trust relationships. We are delivering the best of technology to the agri-supply chain to support and invest in the 570 million farmers worldwide, who are tasked with making critical changes to solve the sustainability challenges of our generation. 

We have an exciting opportunity for a customer obsessed UI/UX designer to play a key role in designing the future of Geora in a part-time contract position.

Having just finalised our Seed round and with some awesome new investors on board, we are growing our core team. The Geora vision is being built by a core of high-achieving, self-motivated and sustainability-minded individuals across product, tech and operations. 

We think you’d like this role if you’re looking to dive deep into the junction of the world’s oldest and newest industries, you love blue sky thinking, and you can bring with you solid experience in UI/UX design.

We believe the best products are built by diverse teams, and we celebrate uniqueness and different perspectives. Data really matters to us, and we think it’s important to call out the stats – research shows that on average men apply for roles where they meet 60% of the position requirements, whereas women will apply only where they meet 100% of the requirements.

If you don’t quite meet all of the qualifications but think you’d make a great addition to the Geora team, we’d still love to hear from you.
