As a digital designer, you'll play a key role in creating intuitive, relevant and helpful experiences on Xero.com. We apply human-centred design to empathise with our users and focus on solutions that allow them to complete tasks easily.

You'll have the opportunity to learn from a great team of experts across UX, visual design, content strategy, engineering, product management, data, learning, and performance. You'll be working in an agile environment, exploring user needs and creating innovative experiences to support millions of small businesses.

What we need from you

We're looking for applicants with a design degree, including digital, visual communications, graphic, industrial, interaction, and media design. Exposure to digital marketing would be an advantage.

Ideally, you'll:

  • be curious, willing to actively listen and ask questions
  • have confidence in your ability to proactively contribute to the team
  • be an excellent communicator and team player
  • have a deep passion for human-centred design
  • believe in digital-first experiences
  • be a problem solver who can take a multilateral approach to find the right solution
  • be creative, agile, motivated and passionate
  • like to question the status quo and take initiative

If this sounds like you, get in touch! We'd love to hear from you.

How to apply

We'll need a copy of your CV, cover letter, portfolio and links to online projects, your website or Behance pages and anything else you want to show us.

We'll also need a copy of your academic transcript โ€“ we know it won't be complete until the end of the year, so just send us everything so far.

In your portfolio, you should include examples of a few projects you've worked on that you're proud of, including some web or app projects.

We want your portfolio to:

  • show how you have identified and solved problems with design
  • explain some of your design processes
  • show how users interact with your design, using InVision or a video of the interface

For the first interview, we'll ask you to prepare a case study in advance and take us through the process. We'll send you more information on what to prepare beforehand.

You need to be a citizen or permanent resident to apply. We'll need a copy of your passport and/or visa for a start date in Feb 2022.

Applications open 1 May 2021 and close 30 June 2021.

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.

I am a Graduate Engineer. My day-to-day responsibilities involve attending and contributing to meetings where I can, learning and involving myself in the team's processes, and building on my technical skills by completing work relevant to the team's roadmap goals.

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.
