We are looking for a Head of Product Design  for our Growth Department in the heart of buzzing Berlin! 

In this role you will work closely with the Director of Growth, plus product and engineering leads to manage four product designers who are part of cross functional teams. You will split your time between providing design and process guidance in various growth areas and coaching, nurturing and challenging your team members. 

You will

  • Manage a team of designers: focusing on their professional development as well as helping them translate the growth strategy into tangible pieces of work
  • Foster development-centered mentorship relationships with your reports — coach designers through complex design problems, product ideation, and any interpersonal issues that arise
  • Identify recruiting needs in your team, act as a hiring manager to interview and evaluate candidates consistently, onboard new designers
  • Along with product & engineering leads, define and communicate the growth vision, set high-level objectives for the design discipline in growth
  • Personally lead some design projects yourself, end-to-end
  • Advance the craft of product design in the growth department via your experience, awareness of the department’s ways of working, and future areas of opportunity
  • Strike a balance between business outcomes and user centricity
  • Continually inspire the team on great visual and interaction design by connecting work across teams within Babbel, organizing critiques, design events as well as bringing in inspiration from the outside
  • Foster relationships with peers in our Marketing department, plus other creative teams across Babbel to create a culture of creative excellence
  • Report directly to the Director of Growth

You have

  • 6+ years of product, visual or interaction design experience, with 2+ years of experience leading other designers
  • A natural sense of leadership, and can foster meaningful and productive cross-functional relationships
  • Great communication skills and can express your thoughts well in English
  • Great prioritization and time management skills, alongside experience working with agile methodologies
  • A preference for systematic, repeatable speed, for example via rapid prototyping with efficient user feedback loops
  • Experience working towards quantifiably measurable goals, and a familiarity with navigating revenue metrics
  • Nice to have - experience working in Growth, at the intersection of Design, Product, Marketing, Data and Engineering!

Some perks of becoming a Babbelonian:

  • 30 vacation days and flexible working hours 
  • BVG card or Swapfiets bike 
  • Jobbatical and Sabbatical options
  • Many internal & external learning opportunities to choose from
  • A yearly Learning & Development budget
  • Visa and relocation assistance 
  • Full access to Babbel & Babbel Live classes 
  • Modern office in the heart of buzzing Berlin equipped with a family, music, faith and nap room 
  • Various internal communities to be part of including the Femgineers+, DEI Ambassadors, Accessibility & Disability Group and more
