 About Ember
 We're building the future of public transport — convenient, affordable, connected and zero-emission. Our goal is to make it easier and more enjoyable to get from A to B with Ember than it is with your own car.
 Ember is a tech company, not a traditional bus operator. We've built a platform that coordinates our entire operation – everything from monitoring vehicles and controlling chargers to selling tickets and calculating ETAs. This allows us to use electric buses more intensively than anyone else in the world, leading to a massive reduction in emissions. It also helps us provide a much better passenger experience, with innovative features like demand-responsive stops. We’re still tiny, with a handful of routes and 38 buses. The challenge is to scale this 100x whilst staying lean, increasing efficiency and delivering an even better product experience. We’ve raised equity from some of Europe’s leading climate VCs and are looking for mission-driven individuals who want to get on board and help take us to the next level.
 
 The role
 As a product designer, you'll be at the heart of our platform development. You'll work closely with our software engineers to design and develop features that delight our users and solve real problems. We are a product-led company, meaning product thinking runs through everything we do – from our website design to bus stop signs and payroll processes. As our first team member working exclusively on product, your role will be broad, contributing to the design and development of both external and internal features.
 
 What you will do
 You will work on a wide variety of projects that touch all aspects of our business. Examples might include: 
 <ul>
 <li>Designing the interface and views for a customer app.</li>
 <li>Chatting to our mechanics in order to form an opinion about the best way to develop a feature for tracking wheel re-torques.</li>
 <li>Researching textiles and wireless charging pads to design a best-in-class seat.</li>
 <li>Thinking deeply about the typical day of charging hub staff, to develop a task management system for them to use.</li>
 <li>Discussing possible data models to store guaranteed connections with our engineers and thinking about how connections should be presented to customers.</li>
 </ul>
 Your work will be making a difference to our planet by helping more people travel on zero-emission public transport. Diversity and equality
 At Ember, we support diversity across our team and customers. We work to ensure every employee feels respected and able to give their best, whether temporary, part-time or full-time. We’re happy to offer flexible working patterns where they make sense, are compassionate when it comes to time off and offer enhanced maternity and paternity leave.
 Read more about our approach in our Equal Opportunities Policy. 
 <h5 class="jobSectionHeader"> What’s on offer</h5>
 As well as a salary of £40,000 - £80,000 per annum, depending on your skills and relevant experience, you'll also be granted share options through an EMI scheme. 
 How do I apply?
 Send your CV and a cover letter telling us why you're interested in the role.
 You should have a desire to get involved early in Ember's growth story, with a real opportunity to make your mark. Your approach to work and thinking is more important to us than specific industry experience. You should think that the following sounds a lot like you:
 <ul>
 <li>Strong background: Likely a few years professional experience in a high-performing environment but we value ability and motivation even more.</li>
 <li>Talented designer: You should be passionate about good design and have the skills to match. You should be very comfortable producing high-fidelity mockups. Good graphic design skills are a plus. Any work you can share as part of your application is helpful.</li>
 <li>First principles thinker: You like to think things through from the ground up and are comfortable challenging conventional wisdom. You don't just relay ideas from one part of the business to another. You should have an analytical mind capable of breaking complex processes down into simple features.</li>
 <li>Good taste: An appreciation for elegant and simple experiences, along with the knowledge of how to achieve them. As part of your application feel free to tell us about the products you like the most and why they're great.</li>
 <li>Engineering awareness: A good intuition for how hard implementing a design will be and how implementations can be simplified. You should care about edge cases, error messages, unhappy paths and pragmatism.</li>
 <li>Motivation: You should be excited by the idea of making an impact in a small growth company. Bus services are a real-world, tangible product where you can see the impact of changes on people’s day-to-day lives.</li>
 </ul>
 You are happy to work from our Edinburgh office at least a few days a week, because we value in-person communication. But we’re flexible if you want to work from home on some days

The role As office manager, you'll be responsible for keeping our HQ running smoothly and ensuring that our people are fed, watered and happy. Some examples of what this might look like: * Creating a fun and vibrant culture by organising non-cringeworthy social events, lunches, dinners and off-sites (so far we've done Portugal, France, Albania, and Scotland). * Managing office supplies, including coffee, fruit, stationery, tools and equipment. * Keeping the office clean and tidy. We have external cleaners twice a week but this will also mean getting your hands dirty sometimes – doing the dishes, tidying common areas and so on. * Onboarding new staff and ensuring they have everything they need to get up and running quickly. * Welcoming visitors including making teas and coffees and organising lunch or snacks. * Managing our IT. We'll help you get up to speed so you don't need to be some sort of IT guru, but you do need a willingness to understand and engage with our IT stack. Things like managing our Google accounts, ensuring people are using 2FA, helping to configure on board equipment for our buses and so on. * Planning our next HQ office move in central Edinburgh – everything from search and viewings to packing boxes and fit-out. To thrive in the role, you’ll need to combine a sunny disposition, super organisational skills and a willingness to learn.

How do I apply? Apply using the form, providing a CV and a cover letter explaining why you're the one. How you work, communicate, and think is really important to us. You don't need to be a master of anything (yet) but must be eager to learn. It's helpful if you can tick most of the boxes below: * Impeccably organised with an ability to juggle competing priorities * Relevant work experience, preferably in a start-up / scale-up environment * A genuine passion for our vision and mission * An openness to learning and developing new skills, including on IT/hardware aspects that may not be familiar * An excellent communicator (written and verbal) and a fast learner * Excellent time-management with an understanding of what you can or can't get done by a deadline * An ability to build strong relationships with a diverse range of people from across the business * An ability to smile and push on even in the face of things not going exactly to plan You’ll primarily be based in our Edinburgh office but will also need to travel to our other hubs across Scotland on occasion. This will often be on our own buses (a nice perk!) so a driving license isn't a requirement. If you're a fun-loving, tech-savvy individual who can keep our office running smoothly and our team connected, we want to hear from you.
