As a mid-weight designer, you will be working alongside our Senior Ui/UX designer and our Head of Design. You will be responsible for creating all of the communications around our software products such as website, marketing campaigns (online and print), event stands, launch events, etc… You will also be expected to assist our Senior Ui/UX designer in designing our software products.

This isn’t only about making things look great, you’ll be expected to constantly bring new ideas, challenge the existing ones, and tirelessly push forward the most creative ways to get our products seen and loved by their users.

About us

We are here to make mobility the solution for a healthier planet. We’re building the software to operate the most reliable, innovative and easy-to-use charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, so that shifting the world to a greener way of moving will be a simple switch. With our user-centered and design led approach to creating software we truly believe that we can take our industry by storm and accelerate EV adoption worldwide.

We're in the middle of a rebranding process from V2G Clarity to Switch EV, which is why the current website (v2g-clarity.com) doesn't completely reflect the direction we're headed towards (less consultancy, more a tech solutions provider for the e-mobility industry). The new website will be available soon at switch-ev.com.
