Job description

Khonology is a digital services and technology engineering company. Our teams build modern, scalable, and resilient solutions that enable our clients to operate, innovate, and grow.

The UIX-UI Analyst role is a 12 month hybrid engagement , where the successful candidate will play a foundational role in shaping the platform as it evolves from Beta into a scalable, commercial venture. The purpose of this role is not only to design interfaces, but to define, validate, and continuously improve the end‑to‑end user experience of a complex, data‑driven sustainability product in close partnership with real pilot clients.


Operating within a venture studio environment, the designer will work at the intersection of user needs, sustainability domain complexity, business objectives, and technical feasibility. This role is responsible for turning ambiguity into clarity that translates emerging requirements, pilot feedback, and evolving product direction into clear, intuitive, and credible digital experiences.

The UX-UI Analyst is expected to act as a design owner and thought partner, influencing product decisions early, challenging assumptions, and ensuring that experience design meaningfully supports learning, validation, and scale. As one of the key custodians of the platform’s usability and trustworthiness, this role helps ensure that the platform delivers real value to clients navigating an increasingly complex sustainability landscape.
