  • You have a track record of leading and empowering design teams with great mentorship skills.
  • You excel in conducting user research and usability testing, and you know how to turn insights into impactful design decisions.
  • You have experience developing and maintaining design systems that ensure consistency and elevate the user experience across products.
  • You're skilled in using design and prototyping tools like Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite, and InVision, and you're always eager to explore new ones.
  • You thrive in cross-functional teams, effectively communicating design concepts and ideas to stakeholders at all levels.
  • You have experience managing design projects from start to finish, setting clear goals and timelines to ensure successful completion.
  • You stay up-to-date with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies in design and UX, always bringing fresh ideas to the table.
  • Your portfolio showcases a diverse range of design projects, highlighting your user-centered design process and innovative solutions.
What We Offer:
  • Work in a fast-growing start-up, experiencing what goes behind the scenes to sustain hyper-growth for a start-up with a physical product.
  • Growth and Development – Lyka is growing extremely quickly, which means you will have the opportunity to experience different challenges every day and progressively acquire more responsibilities as our facility and team expand.
  • Work for a sustainability-focused company – we care about the health of our dogs and our planet. We're proud to be Australia's only carbon-negative and plastic-negative pet wellness company and we're always looking at ways for us to improve sustainability practices.
  • Be part of a diverse top-talent team, coming from widely different backgrounds and geographies.
  • Up to 18 weeks of paid parental leave top-up.
  • Wellbeing assistance and tools to take care of your mental and physical wellbeing so you can do your best work.
  • Flexible working: work from where you get your best work done. We have pet-friendly offices and industrial kitchens in Sydney and Melbourne and offer a working-from-home allowance for your home set-up.
  • Pupper parent support to care for your furry friends – flexible arrangements for new pets, pet-friendly offices, discounts, and financial allowance for dog training and care to help them live their best life.
