About the Team
Gojek Design Teamenvisions and creates products and services that meaningfully improve the lives of our users in more than 20 products. We have continuously evolved our processes, improved the quality of our outcomes, expanded our reach within the organization, and relentlessly advocated for our customers. Our aim is not only to design the products, but also to educate everyone around us on what design is, and why it makes sense to always start with the users, and work backwards.
The Gojek Studio,a new team formed within the wider Design Team based in Singapore and Jakarta, touches multiple teams across Gojek’s consumer mobile ecosystem. Studio work is highly-collaborative and agile - with quick iterations that are designed, prototyped and tested. We work closely with stakeholders from productOps, designOps, IxD, creative labs, research, marketing, writing, illustration, motion and branding teams as well as DS, UXE and eng. The focus is on speed & learning, starting with divergent and radical ideas and narrowing down to more focused execution on the details and transitions between states. Our goal is ultimately to shape and deliver on an elevated Customer Experience Vision & North Star.
Collectively,our vision and north staris to deliver experiences that inspire customers to say: I love Gojek, I trust Gojek, and I feel like I am part of Gojek because Gojek cares about me. To get to this north star, the user experience of the future needs to consistently communicate that “We understand what you want” and “We care about you” in the context of providing services and things for you to buy.
The experiences need to continually elevate our relationship by building trust & transparency at every contact point. Our brand should amplify people’s sense of possibility for their livelihood and families - interwoven with the future of Gojek - by helping them reach their goals in multiple areas of their lives.
For businesses & merchants, this is about providing personalized guidance and offering recommendations so we are seen as their business partner.
For consumers, it’s about progressively involving them in the relationship so they feel like they are part of a family and community. These experiences (and this positioning) can differentiate and anchor our brand across the region as we expand internationally.
