UX Lead Designer

At PRODA (ww.proda.ai) we are building AI-enabled software to automatically capture, standardise and
quality check rent roll data. Our goal is to empower real estate professionals to quickly gain actionable
insights from their data and use software more effectively.

The commercial real estate industry relies on rent rolls as the core data source, but these are frequently
inconsistent, inaccurate and inaccessible, posing challenges for real estate professionals. Through
automated data capture, standardisation, and analysis, PRODA can:

  • Increase process efficiency, through faster report generation.
  • Improve data-driven decision making, by ensuring the accuracy of input data.
  • Enhance data access, by building repositories of clean, standardised data.

In addition, PRODA easily integrates with existing systems, to ensure consistent dataflow through the
whole organisation.

The Role
