Senior Product Designer

Location: We are flexible! Come and join us either in Barcelona or Hamburg.  

FREENOW empowers smarter mobility decisions helping people to move freely and cities to thrive.

Be ready to work in a multinational, diverse, highly motivated and collaborative team of passionate developers who strive for excellence and like to have fun. Are you ready for your next ride?

We are looking for an experienced Senior Product Designer with a strong bias for action, a love for users, and enthusiasm for data to join our cross-functional teams in elevating the experience of our products.

You’d help to build a brand new product, enabling traditional taxi dispatchers to scale their operations by managing their fleets and tapping into FREENOW’s digital capabilities. This is a new and strategic initiative in FREENOW. You’d potentially also help to evolve other Supply-focused products, such as the Taxi Driver app and/or back-office tools. 

You’ll work closely with other Product Designers, UX Researchers, and UX Writers, as well as cross-functional partners in squads, to deliver high-quality experiences that help solve our users’ problems and support them in achieving their goals. You also will play an active role in shaping the UX Culture and processes at FREENOW, helping nurture a collaborative and open-minded environment, alongside people with different backgrounds, focuses, strengths, and experience levels. 

YOUR DAILY ADVENTURES WILL INCLUDE:

• Represent UX subject-matter expertise within multi-disciplinary product development teams.
• Lead discovery, exploration, crafting, and development processes in close collaboration with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, Data Analysts and other stakeholders to bring great ideas to life.
• Champion experimentation. You will be assisting Product Managers and UX Researchers with defining problem spaces, working on hypotheses, designing experiments, and later interpreting results and reiterating on those.
• Translate complex business and user requirements into conceptual designs and user journeys to solve usability issues and serve user needs.
• Use data to challenge and validate design decisions in an ongoing development process that strives to always improve the user experience.
• Craft high-quality and production-ready design assets.
• Support fellow designers through mentoring and critiquing so they can do their best work.
• Stewarding quality and consistency.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE:

• You have worked for around 3-5 years as a Product Designer, and have worked in a fast-paced environment such as start-ups and tech companies; 
• You have strong experience designing for web, iOS and Android products and have worked with Design Systems to improve scalability and consistency across products.
• You can craft delightful and efficient interfaces and have a keen eye for what makes a good user experience and a supportive, accessible, and scalable user interface;
• You can clearly articulate your design vision and ideas through verbal and written explanation, sketching, or quick mock-ups to small or large groups, from designers to the leadership team;
• You have experience in working with data and understand when and how to use quantitative and qualitative data to drive design decisions and understand the values and shortcomings of each;
• You are able and always willing to make your work and progress transparent and visible to relevant others within the organisation;
• You’re experienced in facilitating brainstorming and product discovery sessions and getting consensus among a large, diverse group of stakeholders;
• You can convert ideas quickly into design artefacts to communicate your thinking efficiently and support a productive discussion with your teams.
• Fluency in German, either advanced or native, is a plus
