What makes a Kohder
We are a small team, and your behaviours and attitude are just as important as your skills. This is what makes a good Kohder.
- You have a ‘can-do’ attitude and are proactive in advancing projects, large and small. You recognise your role in our collective journey.
- You always seek opportunities for improvement, both individually and collectively. You spot a recurring problem and work with your team to fix it.
- You are hungry; your default is to learn from good and bad experiences and strive to be better, not just turn up. Resting on your laurels doesn’t fulfil you.
- Skill, craft, and organisation are second nature and show up everywhere — from the most significant project down to the smallest task.
- Your approach to design is ego-less. This means you want to get it right, not be right. Your solutions and attitude are what’s best for the client, not what’s best for you. You are receptive to feedback, listen first, collaborate, and gently push back where necessary.
About Kohde
We are a B2B design agency that creates brand, web, and product design for start-ups, scale-ups, and enterprise clients in the SaaS and software space.
We embed ourselves in our customers’ businesses with the single-minded goal of transformation through design. We believe the only way to achieve this is through a long-term relationship.
We take pride in creating effective yet beautiful solutions.
We are a small team of designers, developers, and project managers with a keen eye for detail. We deliver exceptional work and form trusted, long-term relationships with our clients.
A candidate with B2B experience is preferred, but it is optional. While we execute with a B2C mindset, a candidate must understand the nuances and complexities of long sales cycles and multiple audiences in B2B, demonstrate the ability to turn complexity into simplicity, and show how design was the lever for change.
We continually seek to improve our processes, meeting quarterly to discuss collective performance and to set 90-day projects. We are open to admitting mistakes, but we learn from them.
We are a small team, and our ambition is to grow into a close-knit team of strategists, researchers, designers, writers, and developers. A candidate who wants to go on a journey and contribute to growth will thrive.
We are fully remote, with London serving as our hub for quarterly and monthly meet-ups and socials.
