Head of Product Design

If you own a flat in a building, you may have heard about “the Syndic”. In France, you have to choose between 2 models: the Professional Syndicate or the Cooperative one.

Founded in 2017, Matera is a fast-growing start-up (SaaS solution) that proposes a complete tool to enable the Cooperative Syndicate to be completely autonomous to manage the day-to-day life of the building.

The goal is to promote a user-friendly and cheaper solution, to automate tasks; But also to help on complex matters, thanks to our in-house experts who take over: lawyers, accountants, building experts, etc.

Matera has already attracted more than 5,000 co-buildings in France and has ambitions to deploy the solution in other European markets

What about the Design?

At Matera, the design is a strategic challenge on which we are counting to become the reference solution for co-ownership management!

Our Design team (6 people) continues to grow and we are looking for our next Head of Product Design, who will help us build & lead the team; but also, empower the co-owners by creating the most transparent and human solution possible.
