Welcome to the Dojo!

We’re different! But, like Techstars, YCombinator or Entrepreneur First.

We are creating a Dojo that is unparalleled, especially when it comes to the Bitcoin/Blockchain evolution and we are seeking a Digital Designer for our new and growing team. Our Dojo in East London will ‘hot-house’ start-ups for a 12-week intensive training programme, three times a year (Jan-Mar, May-Jul, Sep-Nov), with around 10 companies per Cohort.

As the Digital Designer for Block Dojo, you are not only a crucial part of the Block Dojo team but also of the start-ups, you will be working closely with each start-up, the workload will be varied and fast-paced, including everything from Branding, pitch presentations and social display ads to User Experience and User Interface Design. Don’t get scared yet, not all start-ups will need those help, as some of them have their in-house designer, and we believe 80% perfection for the MVP is all we need.

Digital Designer Job Duties:

• Work closely with the Head of Design & CTO to help the start-ups from each Cohort to design their MVP & their marketing landing page*
• Help and assist the start-ups with graphic design requirements, for example, branding, logo design, investor decks, pitch presentations, roller banners, leaflets design etc*
• Work with the Dojo marketing team to create marketing collaterals
• Help and assist the Head of Design with any graphic design requirements for the Dojo team
• Work closely with the Head of Design & CTO to improve the user experience of The Dojo’s Investor Evaluation Platform (Dojo Discover)

What we’re looking for:

• You must be able to handle multiple start-ups/brands.
• Be able to sketch, and create user journey maps, wireframes, mock-ups and other assets, to design simple user flows and improve the usability of each start-up’s MVPs
• Exploring and evaluating UX best practices and incorporating them into the start-ups’ products
• Demonstrate excellent attention to detail when creating design artefacts and assets
• Possess highly proficient graphics and digital software skills, including Figma/Sketch, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Keynote & PowerPoint
• Working collaboratively in a flexible way with other designers, product managers, developers and of course, the founders of each start-up
• Bonus point: Motion graphics & video editing skills would be a huge PLUS!
• Bonus point 2: Photography skills would be another plus!
