Company Description
TreeStock is a Sheffield-based forest technology startup built on a simple belief: trees and forests are too valuable to manage on guesswork. We combine UAV-captured data with machine learning to capture data on every individual tree at forest scale, turning it into detailed digital twins that foresters, ecologists and land managers can actually use.
Our purpose is to put genuinely state-of-the-art technology into the hands of the people working on the ground. Better tree data means healthier, better-managed forests and a clearer, more honest picture of the impact of environmental work. That sense of purpose is part of what draws people to TreeStock, alongside the pace and variety that comes with a fast-growing startup.
Role Description
We're hiring a UI/UX Designer to join TreeStock full-time in Sheffield. This is a hybrid role, and we're flexible on the balance between office and home working, with the option to be in the office full-time if you'd prefer.
You'll shape how our forest data platform looks, feels and works for the people using it: foresters, ecologists and land managers who need to move from raw data to a clear, confident decision as quickly as possible. You'll work alongside a senior product designer on the team, but this role is about ownership rather than taking instruction on every detail. You'll lead most of your own work end to end, and we want someone who genuinely wants to put their own stamp on it, not just execute a brief.
Day to day, that means interacting with real customers, mapping workflows, building wireframes and high-fidelity mockups, and iterating on prototypes based on feedback and usage data. You'll help shape and maintain our design system, keep visual consistency across the platform, and work hands-on with front-end developers to make sure what ships matches what was designed.
We're not a 9 to 5 environment. If that's what you're after, that's completely fine, but we don't punch timecards or watch the clock here. We're flexible, and we care about the work being done well far more than when, where or how.
