Carbon Equity
Full-time
Digital Product Designer (UI/UX)
Join our well-funded startup🚀 and let’s create a private equity impact investing experience that is inspiring, story-driven and accessible
About the job
Join our product team as its first designer and work on making private equity impact investing inspiring and accessible. You will translate our (WIP) brand identity into a functionally pleasant (and pleasantly functional) digital product experience for our (aspiring) customers.
Dare to define the digital product design function in a freshly funded impact startup? Our fledging organization has achieved some major milestones without anyone truly in charge of design, but we are eager to change that while we can.
THE CHALLENGE
Private equity investing has a tradition of being dull, numbers-driven and ridden with confusing terminology. Our challenge is it to design a customer experience that is quite the opposite: inspiring, story-driven and accessible.

THE CHALLENGE
Private equity investing has a tradition of being dull, numbers-driven and ridden with confusing terminology. Our challenge is it to design a customer experience that is quite the opposite: inspiring, story-driven and accessible.
We are building an app that takes an investor on their own personal climate impact investing journey, engages them by sharing the inspiring and innovative stories that are funded by their investment and encourages them to invite others to join in for the climate revolution.
Our product team (currently consisting of backend developer, frontend developer, copywriter and marketeer) is very aware of the value of design, and how it is not (only) about making things look good but rather about making things friendly, easy and comprehensible for the target customer. While this is currently a shared responsibility within the team, we need you to come in and own it.
THE OFFER
THE OFFER
- Work at a freshly funded startup in a newly formed team of ambitious young professionals.
- Headquartered in TNW West near Rembrandt park and Lelylaan train station.
- Competitive salary and stock option plan (depending on professional experience, both in terms of years and skill set).
- Annual company offsite abroad.
- Very flexible environment. Bottom line: as long as you bring what the company needs, and in a way that also works for the rest of the team, nobody really cares how you make it happen. If you would like to work four days instead of five, or if you prefer to work from home on a regular basis, or anything else that you feel you need to be productive, we can discuss it. It’s the output that matters.
- Work on the biggest problem ánd opportunity of our lifetime. Spend your time on something that matters. Be part of the solution.
About you
You have what it takes to go from rough feature idea to detailed product design:
- You have first-hand knowledge of how digital products are being built: the required competencies, the typical process and tool chain.
- You enjoy wrestling with a problem and tirelessly mocking up various ideas until you finally get to this magical moment where it suddenly all clicks and from the complexity and chaos a simple and elegant solution arises.
- You are aware that amazing digital product design is about nailing the intersection of how things work and how things look, and that the two are hard to excel on in isolation. In other words: being good at UX design is not enough, nor is being good a visual or graphic design. You need to be able to marry the two.
- You have a good understanding of design systems and their purpose.
- You are at home in Figma and eager to get acquainted with low-code website builders such as Framer Sites and Webflow.
- You have a good intuition of how software works and how to communicate effectively with an engineer.
- You may not be proficient in HTML, CSS (Tailwind) or JavaScript, but they scare you neither.
- You have at least three years of experience in a full-time professional digital design role.
Your focus on digital product is deeply grounded in a more generalist knack for design:
- You have a profound understanding of the value of design in an online business environment and why it is different from designing for print or other contexts.
- You have a strong sense of typography, visual language, color and composition. Your eye for detail is well calibrated – you know when it can make the difference between good and great versus when it is holding you back from making meaningful progress.
- You are intimately aware that good design requires excellent communication. You speak English fluently – Dutch is considered a plus.
You are deeply, personally excited about what we are building:
- You have a clear motivation for getting involved in impact investing.
- You are aware of your own private climate journey and keen to share it.
