About Buoy Software
About us
At Buoy, we are reimagining the blood-product donation and collection experience in an industry that has been largely untouched by advances in technology for decades. It is one of the few remaining verticals that have yet to see the transformative power of modern technology and great design. The result is creating huge impact in three distinct areas: making blood product-derived biotherapies more accessible to patients battling life-threatening conditions, creating employment opportunities and economic support in communities that have limited access to resources and creating real business value by increasing the supply of blood-products in a market with compounding demand.
We have been working alongside Join Parachute (www.joinparachute.com/), our sister company, in the opening of small market donation centers across the country that will create local donation center careers, opportunities to donate blood products, and provide financial compensation for those donations that will have a positive economic impact in those communities. We’ll continue to expand our reach to support other companies who could benefit from the products that Buoy has created and developed.
About the role:Everything we design at Buoy is tested and validated in the way it matters most, directly in the hands of our users. Our success hinges directly to their success and their ability to perform their jobs efficiently and accurately using our software. You’ll be working in a small close-knit team, solving meaningful problems that are critical to the success of our business and those we serve. You’ll apply your expertise in design to elegantly solve problems while balancing business, user and regulatory needs.
Why work here?Because our business focuses on the collection and sale of blood-product in a highly regulated industry, we are uniquely positioned and protected from other competitors or technologies trying to disrupt what we’ve built. Simply put, we have huge opportunity for growth and the only challenge that stands in our way from achieving our goals is our own ability to execute on our strategy. To date, we have been able to successfully deliver and grow and have ambitious plans for our future. If this resonates with you, we hope that you consider joining our team and working towards our mission of unlocking more blood-product supply.
Qualities that will make you successful:
Take chargeOwn all phases of design on your projects from discovery to delivery
Thrive in complexityYou’ll take complicated requirements and at times competing needs and translate them into simple, thoughtful and useful designs.
Have a point of viewHold strong opinions, loosely held. Be willing to present your own thoughts and work together to come to the best solution.
Be collaborativeWork across functions in order to make sure work is feasible, meeting quality standards and delivering value.
Have strong business and design acumenBe able to articulate your design decisions with logical rationale supported by the needs of the user, business, project requirements and feedback from subject matter experts and teammates.
Embody a can-do attitudeAs a startup, sometimes our jobs require us to work outside of our traditional roles in order to get work across the finish line. While your primary role will be on creating and delivering great UX, you may be asked at times to write documentation, help with project briefs or other tasks necessary to get work completed.
About The RoleWe are looking for an experienced and passionate designer to join our team. Design has a real voice at our company and we see good design as instrumental to our success. You’ll deliver beautiful and functional design that elevates the blood-product donation experience for our members or shift gears and streamline workflow at our centers. Your work inspires those around you to imagine what’s possible before it’s even been built and you will work closely with engineers, industry experts, and product managers to drive the strategic direction and have ownership of the product and consumer experience.
