⭐️ Who are we?

Convelio is a licensed freight forwarding startup evolving at the intersection of Tech, Logistics and the Art World. The startup specialises in the global shipping of high-end goods: paintings, sculptures, basically any valuable or bulky merchandise.

We've developed our own proprietary algorithm to offer competitive real-time shipping quotes and an end-to-end logistics service to the art market. Our mission is to become a tech-driven company in a traditional industry, and therefore make the shipping of bulky and valuable items as easy as possible for any business across the world by providing an online and seamless experience.

We currently serve a wide range of customers from art galleries, antique dealers, auction houses, online platforms to interior designers.

With 180+ colleagues scattered across Paris & London and now New York as well (since recently!), Convelio has a strong start-up & international culture. We thrive in solving complex logistics issues for our clients, enabling both sellers and buyers in the art market. We are backed by proven technology, prominent VC’s, and boast a global network and the resources (€9 million Series A funding in Jan. 2020) to seize the market opportunity.

We are looking for a high-energy, impact-driven, team-oriented Product Designer to join our rapidly growing Product Team! Product Design is strategic in our company. You will have a chance to join an empowered squad and form a strong trio with a Product Manager and a Tech lead. Together, you will drive the strategy of your product and autonomously identify, frame, and solve user problems.

As a Product Designer, you will be responsible for shaping usable and desirable experiences that solve user pains and help them achieve their goals.

? Upcoming projects

? Quoting platform: we help our clients to get prices for their shipments and help them transport their artworks or design pieces from one place to another. Depending on the route, we can offer a wide range of services but the logistics world is still very complex and comes with a lot of jargon and many clients still don’t understand the variety of our offerings. We are fixing this by clarifying our service offering and making it easy to switch between alternatives at the quoting step.
✈ Tracking shipments: we are currently investigating new ways to smooth the communication between shippers and clients. Our clients trust us with very valuable items and fragile objects. Reinsuring them and making sure we have the shipment under control is a key point in the journey and there’s sure a lot to imagine there.
