We’re recruiting for a UX Designer to join our product team here at Lawlabs Inc., a London-based start up servicing real estate legal professionals. In this role, you will work cross-functionally with UX colleagues, developers, subject matter experts and users as we continue to develop Closer, a new software platform we've built to transform how clerks, lawyers and their clients close real estate transactions in Canada.
You’re a great fit for this role if you are passionate about human-centred design and love putting a stamp of flare into your work. You also have a keen attention to detail and believe that iterating on your designs based on user insights is the key to success! You are very confident with design, wireframing and prototyping tools, have no problem showing off your portfolio of work, and you can demonstrate success with the latest user interview and usability testing techniques. Lastly, you’re comfortable working autonomously for stretches of time but also thrive in a collaborative setting working directly with colleagues and end users.
The LawLabs Team:
Privately operated and founded in London, Ontario, our team consists of a diverse, passionate group of tech experts who are on a mission to change the real estate closing experience for lawyers, clerks and clients alike and also have some fun along the way! We are a remote-first, distributed team, and we leverage tools like Slack, Figma, Miro and G-Suite to create a modern, asynchronous and flexible work environment to stay connected.
