The Team
The Design teams at NewsCred consist of some of the most skilled, considerate, and fun-loving people you’ll ever meet.

You relish the idea of multi-tasking and collaborating closely with team members and stakeholders to develop original and innovative design concepts, while watching over the overall direction of NewsCred’s distinct user experience. You have a unique, impeccable design aesthetic and consider it your duty to share your expertise with the team.
You can work at “startup speed” and work autonomously, while knowing when and how to escalate.
