## About the role
Perfocal is a platform revolutionising the way people hire
professional photographers. Since the launch of this version of product

photographer applications. After closing a seed round we're now
recruiting an experienced product designer to take our product even
further.

the company from product to marketing and operations in order to provide
the most consistent and smooth user experiences.

user experience on both customer and photographer ends, help audit and
optimise user journeys regularly
