Accordium is an early-stage tech startup based in Copenhagen (HQ) and Kuala Lumpur (Technology) revolutionizing the way documents and contracts are created, negotiated, signed and analyzed. The company was founded in late 2016 and already secured a six-figure investment from renowned European and American investors.

DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

The Product Department is in charge of our product strategy and roadmap, directing the future of Accordium. The team works closely with the Technology Department in order to realize our vision of creating a unique end-to-end document management platform.

This department is headed by Barrington Russell. 

ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES

As a UI designer at Accordium you will be working and reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer in Copenhagen and work closely with the VP of Engineering in Kuala Lumpur. Your work will principally involve designing and coding UI components to an high aesthetic standard and technical quality, as well as occasionally delivering ancillary branding assets for marketing activities.

This is principally a design position rather than development. As such, your task is to deliver well-considered and beautiful HTML and CSS to our dedicated front-end engineers who then manage the back-end integration and data bindings. You conceptualize and build it and they'll plug it in!

We expect that you will become the owner of the look and feel of our main web application, telling the story of the product visually and consistently. It is the chance to get in early at a rapidly growing startup and make a profound impact on the direction of our product.
