[IT] UX/UI Designer & Brand Communication

WellD, Italy, NY, United States


About The Company WellD is a fast-growing, young, and dynamic consulting company dedicated to custom software product development, with a strong focus on state‑of‑the‑art technologies. We are a team of passionate, down‑to‑earth developers and engineers who love what we do.

We believe in continuous improvement and value passion, curiosity, and an analytical mindset over pure skill‑specific knowledge. What sets us apart is our commitment to technical quality and competence, nurtured through a friendly environment and a company culture that goes beyond daily business.

Our clients are leading companies in the Energy, Industrial, Food, Finance, and Health sectors. The projects we work on are challenging and impactful: every solution we deliver is designed to make a difference and meet real‑world, mission‑critical requirements.

To support our culture of growth and collaboration, we actively invest in tech conferences and meetups, our WellD Book, Tech Lunches, Tech Blog, internal workshops, and team‑building activities. We like to program in pairs, challenge our knowledge, and share what we learn — because growing together is part of what we do best.

About The Role We are looking for a UX/UI Designer who can bridge complex user needs with elegant, functional solutions — and who also wants to contribute to telling WellD's story externally through marketing and brand communication activities.

You will work on mission‑critical projects with direct impact on our clients' success, with opportunities to lead design strategy, mentor peers, and shape how WellD is perceived on the market.

Where you’ll work Our office is in the heart of Milan, in the Isola/Garibaldi district, easily accessible by public transport. We work primarily remotely and meet in the office for planning sessions, pair working, and team building. Availability to travel occasionally to Switzerland is required.

What Tools We Use Our design ecosystem is centered around Figma (including FigJam) for prototyping and collaboration. We use Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) for specific visual assets. On the delivery side, we often work with WordPress (Elementor) for web projects, and collaborate closely with developers.

How We Conceive UX/UI We apply a Design Thinking approach throughout our client engagements, embedded in cross‑functional Agile teams. Our process covers:

Requirements gathering and stakeholder analysis

User mapping and user research

Low‑fidelity wireframing through high‑fidelity interactive prototyping

Design‑to‑development handoff with a focus on technical feasibility

We actively embrace AI as an integral part of our design workflow — both as a creative thinking partner during UX research, ideation, and decision‑making, and as a hands‑on tool for the production of design artefacts such as visual assets, prototypes, and communication materials.

To Whom We Deliver Our clients are well‑established companies in the Energy, Industrial, Fintech, and Health sectors. Everyday we face real‑life challenging requirements and are asked to make a difference, designing solutions at the highest level of engineering and user experience. We also manage internal product‑centered projects where UI/UX plays a central, strategic role.

What You'll Do Design & Product

Lead the end‑to‑end design process for complex software products, from discovery to final handoff

Collaborate with Product Owners and engineers to translate business requirements into intuitive user journeys

Create and maintain scalable Design Systems to ensure visual and functional consistency across projects

Conduct user research and usability testing to validate design hypotheses and iterate based on data

Bridge design and development, ensuring the final implementation matches the intended experience

Advocate for a user‑centric culture within the company

Marketing & Communication

Define and maintain WellD's visual brand guidelines across all digital and physical touchpoints

Design communication materials: institutional presentations, one‑pagers, proposal and client‑facing templates

Manage WellD's visual presence on social media (primarily LinkedIn) through graphic content and visual storytelling

Collaborate on Tech Blog content: layouts, infographics, and visuals supporting technical articles

Support the visual communication of events (meetups, workshops, conferences such as Voxxed Days)

Contribute to recruiting materials and employer branding initiatives

What We're Looking For

At least 5 years of experience in UX/UI design, preferably in complex B2B or industrial contexts

A solid portfolio that showcases your design process, not just the final result

Mastery of Figma and familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite for visual asset production

A mature aesthetic sensibility applicable to both digital products and brand communication

Understanding of frontend constraints (HTML/CSS) — a strong plus

Good knowledge of Agile methodologies and how design integrates into sprint cycles

Ability to defend design choices with data and logical reasoning

Continuous curiosity and a desire to improve in a fast‑paced, evolving environment

Fluency in both Italian and English, written and spoken

Availability to travel to Switzerland

…alongside several benefits & perks:

The tools you need. You'll get your own laptop, fully powered with the IDEs of choice.

You'll have access to courses and events to grow your technical skills.
