The role - template from current 5 months contract
The TravelPerk Product Design team is looking for a contractor to lead a key business initiative! If you consider yourself an autonomous Senior Product Designer who has worked on SaaS products and keeps the customer at the heart of everything you do, read on…
At TravelPerk, we work in “squads”—small, autonomous teams composed of full-stack engineers, a Product Manager, and a Product Designer. As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll take charge of design within your squad, while also collaborating with the wider Design team and contributing to our overall product strategy.
But there's more! We're looking for someone who can work beyond squad boundaries. You should be comfortable collaborating with other teams to ensure your work aligns with the overall product vision.
What you’ll be doing
- You'll lead the Reporting squad, which takes care of displaying platform data to our users so they can analyze their spend
- Work on the end-to-end design process, from defining problems to conducting user research, sketching, prototyping, and producing final designs
- Iterate on the existing product through constant research, validation, heuristic reviews, and discovery, both autonomously and with the support of our UX researcher
- Help the team elevate the quality of our interface, interaction patterns, and information architecture
- Partner with the Staff Designer to ensure the new functionalities align with the overall product vision
- Advocate for user experience best practices with different stakeholders
Don't worry, you won't be doing this alone! You’ll collaborate daily with product managers, UX researchers, content designers, engineers, data analysts, and a supportive team of product designers like yourself.
What we’re looking for:
- 5+ years working as a Product Designer
- Experience working for a SaaS product (B2B)
- Solid knowledge of Figma and remote workshop tools such as FigJam or Miro
- Great understanding of usability principles, information architecture, visual hierarchy, accessibility and interaction design patterns (web and mobile)
- Autonomy and proactivity to lead, plan and execute UX/UI design projects, end-to-end
- User-centred mentality (sounds obvious, but we really mean it!)
- Ability to plan and conduct user interviews and user testing
- Understanding of business goals and metrics
- Solid communication skills to present and articulate your ideas to multiple stakeholders, run workshops and facilitate collaboration with your team
- Understanding of tech constraints and experience working with engineers
- Experience working with a design system
- English language skills to a professional level, both writing and speaking
What do we offer?
- One year contract
- Competitive compensation (Inside/Outside IR35)
- Hybrid work environment, working remotely and also from our brand new London or Barcelona office
- Flexible hours
