Who We’re Looking For

“Innovative” and “disruptive” can be overused words. But at Bestow, it isn’t jargon, it’s an

industry, serving communities who have been underserved in the past, and we believe the

So, if you’re excited by the idea of building an industry-defining brand from scratch, working at a

mission-driven company, and fundamentally shaking up an age-old industry, read on, friend.

  • Broad knowledge of user experience design principles
  • An interdisciplinary skill set or interest in User Experience Design and Visual Design (User Interface Design)
  • Ability to create and maintain shared working files
  • Proficiency in prototyping and design software including Sketch, inVision and Adobe CC tools
  • Initiative to identify problems and act on opportunities to improve the work which with you're involved
  • Clear, concise written and verbal communication
  • Ability to manage one’s time while working on multiple projects concurrently
  • A desire and willingness to learn
  • Bonus Points: Experience with design research and/or working knowledge of front-end development
