Product designers help shape our products. We understand how people use Xero, then we work with cross-disciplinary teams to build the most delightful and effective experiences. 

We think about the entire Xero experience, from tiny interface details to making our customers' lives better. We’re interested in how someone uses a design, not just the look of a button or screen.

As a graduate product designer, you’ll be responsible for designing the interface architecture, workflow, and visual design of our product. 

The product design team challenges assumptions and ideas to make the software helpful and easy to use. We work through ideas and designs with customers, engineers, researchers, writers, and product managers, and we prototype experiences quickly.

What we’d like to see from you

You’ll be a great listener and able to put yourself in other people’s shoes. You’ll have an analytical side and a knack for crafting beautiful user experiences.

We’re looking for applicants with a design degree, including digital, visual communications, graphic, industrial, interaction, and media design.

Ideally, you’ll:

  • be an excellent communicator and team player
  • be a problem solver who can take a logical, analytical approach while being user-focused
  • be a creative, agile, motivated and passionate person.
  • like to question the status quo and take initiative

Why Xero?

At Xero, we support many types of flexible working arrangements that allow you to balance your work, your life and your passions. We offer a great remuneration package including shares plus a range of leave options to suit your well-being. Our work environment encourages continuous improvement and career development and you’ll get to work with the latest technology.  

Our collaborative and inclusive culture is one we’re immensely proud of. We know that a diverse workforce is a strength that enables businesses, including ours, to better understand and serve customers, attract top talent and innovate successfully. We are a member of Pride in Diversity, in recognition of our inclusive workplace. So, from the moment you step through our doors, you’ll feel welcome and supported to do the best work of your life.

I'm currently working as a Graduate Engineer. My day to day responsibilities depends on the team I am in for the rotation. Mainly they'll include attending scheduled routine meetings, pairing with colleagues on the tasks we picked up, participate/facilitate discussions on the piece of work the team is exposed to, attend knowledge sharing sessions which are super valuable.

It can vary from team to team, but in general, I take on tasks to complete (coding). I can also take on scrum responsibilities.

Pros and cons of working at Xero Australia

Pros

  • The support that you receive as a grad is absolutely amazing!

  • The company is super flexible when it comes to work hours.

  • Xero is completely flexible when it comes to working in the office or from home.

  • We have an extra 5 days off which is amazing! We also have free health insurance.

  • The entire Grad program is done incredibly well, in terms of both technical skills and acclimating to Xero work environment.

Cons

    • Doesn't seem to be consistency between rotation teams (experience and standards in one team vary wildly from another).

    • Budgets for graduates can be slightly limited. Office environment + perks for Canberra is not great.

    • Some projects can be demanding.

    • There has been action on this, and more initiatives are planned for, but there are still issues not being attended to yet.

    • Would be nice if more options/flexibilities could be given when deciding which team graduates could go into for the next rotation.
