Senior Design Ops:

We at Yara are part of a global network, collaborating to profitably and responsibly solve some of the world's key challenges - resource scarcity, food insecurity and environmental change.

About the Unit:

Yara aims to be the crop nutrition company for the future and is leading the development of sustainable agriculture and digital tools to contribute to solving global agricultural challenges.

We have a worldwide presence with sales teams in ~150 countries and around 17,000 employees.

Drawing on over a century of crop nutrition experience, Yara established the Digital Farming unit - now Digital Ag Solutions (DAS) - 4 years ago to explore how technology could be used to impact farmer livelihoods and productivity.

Today, DAS has built products for smallholder and professional farmers, retailers and other farming ecosystem stakeholders across Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe.

DesignOps is the key to scaling digital product design teams with more efficiency. As companies mature and invest in design, they need to operationalize workflow, hiring, alignment between teams, and more. So designers can focus on design work while someone else takes care of the rest.

DesignOps is the glue that holds the design organization together, and the bridge that enables collaboration among cross-disciplinary team members.

Responsibilities:

Work on defining the way we operate and structure the function of Design.
Actively engage designers to comply with design tools, principles, processes and standards set for the design function.
Measure, implement, and drive changes to make sure designers are working at optimum effectiveness.
Use the available systems and platforms to share design assets and templates, to ensure consistency in design work across Yara.
Collaborate closely with design leadership and senior contributors to define, document, and operationalize processes. This includes defining and keeping uptodate documentation of how the Design team works, as well as how to work with all disciplines of the team.
Evaluate and implement new tools with designers, writers, researchers, and crossfunctional partners to solve for our growing need to collaborate holistically across the organisation.
Regularly check in with other stakeholders to get a pulse of their pain points and together help set up solutions and processes that eliminate those.
Champion the good practices inside of the design function and enforce constant improvement.
Develop and maintain valuable stakeholder relationships, being able to communicate with each one in the right way.
Explain how we work inside the UX Operations team and the value we, together with the UX team, add to the bigger Yara organisation.
Build presence internally and also externally.
