Render's singular focus is best summarised by our purpose; continuously innovate and evolve technology to build networks better and connect communities.
Render's geospatial network construction platform enables telecommunication network operators and construction teams to digitize the construction workflow and cut the time and cost of large-scale fiber deployment.
With greater than $60B in annual US network infrastructure investment forecast to continue for the next decade, the need for technology-enabled efficiency and construction innovation is acute.
Render's market-leading platform is experiencing rapid adoption, and in partnership with new majority partners IFM Investors, Render is perfectly positioned to build on existing momentum and realize significant incremental growth.
Our partnership with IFM Investors further empowers us to fast-track Render’s next wave of product innovation for our customers and the evolving global telecommunications industry, and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on the journey.
Our team all have a genuine passion for innovation and technology's role in enabling global communities to thrive. Beyond our work, our values shape everything that we do at Render and we can not overstate how central these statements are to our culture:
- Lead Boldly with Courageous Innovation
- Integrity and Accountability
- Put Customers at the Center
The successful candidate will have a passion for delivering world class customer experiences (CX) with adaptive and creative solutions to UI/UX design problems by staying up to date with best practices and emerging trends in user experience design and user interface technology. Because Render focuses on the use of geospatial technology in utility infrastructure workflows, this role must have deep experience delivering software solutions with a map-based spatial user interface on the desktop and in the field.
This role is highly customer-facing which includes continuous user research to gather insights into customer needs, behaviors, and pain points through surveys, interviews, and usability testing to inform design decisions. It is also a highly collaborative role, working closely with cross-functional teams at Render including product management, customer delivery, and pre-sales to ensure a cohesive and seamless customer experience. Across these responsibilities, the ideal allocation of time in this role is likely to be 50% of time researching and designing strategic user experiences across the combined platform, 30% of time on customer research and market research to build a competitive and seamless Render user experience, including component library, site map streamlining, and design architecture, etc., and 20% as the company resource for quick input or low fidelity wireframes for product enhancements.Your Mission @ Render

What We Do
An entirely new approach to fiber deployment. Utilizing innovative GIS, mobile and automation technology, Render’s platform and data management enable network operators, engineers and builders to deliver quality networks without the need for manual, paper-based construction packs. Real-time, geospatial data provides increased control and visibility, resulting in significant resource productivity across the delivery lifecycle. + Seamless transition from network design to work Our unique Blueprinting process takes a complex network design - in any format - and converts it directly into thousands of construction tasks, visible on a familiar map-based interface, and sequenced to optimize deployment time and cost. + Workflow digitisation, automation and optimisation With end-to-end digital data capture, your project becomes completely paperless, providing all stakeholders with a single common platform - connected in the cloud - to predict, plan and optimize progress. + Unequalled control and visibility By streamlining data between the field and the office, all stakeholders have access to near real-time data to improve decisions and dynamically schedule work to the most efficient contractor.
