About the Job

Spendesk is looking for a passionate Senior Product Designer who has a holistic approach to solving design problems. In this role, you’ll have ownership of our design system (called “Grapes”) and will chart a path for how it grows and evolves.
You can identify problems and opportunities, and frame them in a way that guides your squad to deliver impactful work. You effectively collaborate cross-functionally to develop a vision and drive projects to completion. You’re motivated by goals and outcomes, staying focused on the big picture while giving care to the details when necessary. You iterate quickly and utilize data and user research to ensure you’re on the right path towards your goal. You help champion design thinking within your squad, the design team, and the broader Product organization. You work humbly and kindly, aren’t afraid to make mistakes, admit failure, and learn from it. You’re always looking to improve yourself and to lift up others around you.
The Client Capabilities team’s mission is to ensure a best-in-class user experience across all of Spendesk by focusing on transversal initiatives. As the Senior Designer on this team, you’ll drive the roadmap of Grapes (our design system), and you’ll craft experiences that are too broad for any single squad (think: navigation, empty states, etc).

Your role will consist of:

  • Partner with designers and front-end developers to improve all aspects of our design system
  • Pair design with Product Designers to guide them towards the best use of the design system
  • Effectively communicate conceptual ideas, detailed design, and design rationale verbally and visually to a variety of audiences (design team members, your squad, company-wide, execs)
  • Own the success or failure of your design work: validate your designs and initiate improvements
  • Constantly seek and respectfully provide design feedback
  • Help refine our processes and define best practices for design at Spendesk

Must-have's:

  • 5+ years of Product Design experience
  • A well-rounded design skill set (including product thinking, UX, UI)
  • Experience working on a production-level design system at a SaaS company
  • Self-awareness and ability to collaborate cross-functionally
  • An appreciation for the entire product development cycle: research, problem definition, ideation, solution design, validation, and iteration
  • Strong communicator of design work and your rationale behind proposals
  • A mindset focused on learning and professional growth
  • Spoken and written English skills required

Nice to have:

  • Prior work experience on a FinTech or technical SaaS product
  • Experience working in Figma
  • Passion for working collaboratively in a dynamic, international context
As we are an international team, please submit your application and CV in English.


Benefits:

- Exciting time to join Spendesk in terms of growth and opportunities
- Competitive compensation package with equity (everyone is an owner of the company!)
- Flexible and remote-friendly work environment
- The best equipment for your needs (Macbook Pro, secondary screen, ...)
- Internal social events (hackathon, company-wide parties, offsite, ...)
- Brand-new offices in the heart of Paris, Berlin & London
- A purple Spendesk card (for your work purchases)!
- And more!


What you can expect from the process:

1. A video call with one of our Talent Acquisition Partners to fully understand your career aspirations and answer any questions you have
2. A series of videos calls with members of the team to align on what they will expect from you, and assess your technical skills and job fit
3. A final video call with the Hiring Manager, Head-Of, or C-Level (CEO included) to review any remaining questions
