There's a product launch in two days.

Do you mean the one being teased on Instagram? I think that is just a video from their team rider Noe.

Two new roles added to the vacancies:
- Product Manager - Foil
- Category Director - Hydrofoil and Wing

I would say Uli will be gone soon too. Asking around a bit, it sounds like the foil design was done by another Kiwi guy called Daniel, who contracted to North. But apparently they aren't going to use him any more either.

And they seem to have used the exact same text for the Snr Product Designer - Kite and Wing as for Snr Product Graphic Designer.

I've heard that whole the product team in New Zealand has already been let go, so maybe Uli is gone too. Looking on the North Actionsport site there are lots of job vacancies, which I hope they have filled if the old team are gone already or there could be issues.

Yes I heard they shut the New Zealand office and offered job positions in the Netherlands, which nobody took up !!
Looks like the company is being run by accountants now so is probably going to die a death of zero innovation and cost cutting designs !

A quick google search shows that they're only looking for graphical designers mostly. But ill give you an A+ for drama!

I guess Google let you down this time, 7 jobs on their website: northasg.com/career/

Google actually gave me the same link, reading comprehension taught me that these, like i said before, mostly graphical designer positions. No open positions for R&D/wing/foil.

3 are graphics. More wing ones are coming from what I have been told by locals that know people from the office.
