About The Position

VAS is seeking a highly skilled Senior UX Designer to drive the visual direction of our digital products.

These insights are a source of truth, empowering producers and their trusted advisors to make profit-driven and sustainable management decisions. Whether near or far, large or small, VAS is at the heart of your dairy. VAS has deep roots in the industry through its origin within the URUS family of companies.
