How to Apply for Mid-Level UX/UI Designer (Product & Brand)
at Amber Electric
🏢 About Amber Electric
Amber Electric is a trailblazer in Australia's energy sector, offering dynamic pricing that lets consumers save money and even profit from green energy. Their smart tech and customer-centric approach make them an exciting place to work for designers passionate about sustainability and innovation.
About This Role
This role blends product and brand design—you'll support senior designers on user flows for quoting, sign-up, and billing, while also owning end-to-end design of email lifecycles and marketing campaigns. Your work directly impacts customer experience across the entire journey, from acquisition to ongoing engagement.
💡 A Day in the Life
You might start by reviewing analytics on a recent email campaign, then sketch wireframes for a new onboarding flow in the morning. After a cross-functional standup, you'd refine a marketing landing page in Figma, using AI to generate copy variations, and end the day by handing off assets to engineering.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Amber Electric Is Looking For
- 4+ years of UX/UI design experience, with a strong portfolio showing both product and brand/marketing work.
- Visual design expert with a keen eye for detail, able to maintain brand consistency across touchpoints.
- Comfortable working at pace in a fast-moving startup environment, using AI tools to boost efficiency.
- Collaborative communicator who can work cross-functionally with product, marketing, and engineering teams.
📝 Tips for Applying to Amber Electric
Tailor your portfolio to include examples of email lifecycle design and marketing campaigns, not just product flows.
Show how you've used AI tools (e.g., Figma plugins, generative AI) to scale design impact—mention specific tools.
Highlight any experience with dynamic pricing or energy tech, even if tangential, to show industry interest.
In your resume, quantify impact: e.g., 'Redesigning onboarding emails increased completion rate by 15%.'
Research Amber's brand voice (playful yet trustworthy) and reflect it in your application tone.
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
["Express enthusiasm for renewable energy and Amber's mission to empower consumers.", 'Emphasize your dual expertise in product UX and brand/marketing design, with examples of end-to-end ownership.', 'Mention your comfort with fast-paced environments and using AI to work efficiently.', "Show understanding of their customer journey (quoting → sign-up → onboarding → billing) and how you'd improve it."]
Generate Cover Letter →🔍 Research Before Applying
To stand out, make sure you've researched:
- → Read Amber Electric's blog and energy industry news to understand dynamic pricing and their value proposition.
- → Study their website and app (if possible) to assess current UX and brand consistency.
- → Look at their social media and recent marketing campaigns to gauge brand tone and visual style.
- → Check LinkedIn for employee profiles to understand team culture and design team structure.
💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics
Based on this role, you may be asked about:
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Submitting a generic portfolio with only product screenshots—include brand/marketing work and email designs.
- Ignoring the 'pace' requirement: avoid suggesting lengthy timelines; show you can iterate quickly.
- Not mentioning AI tools: they explicitly ask for it—if you don't use them, learn a few before applying.
