How you'll make an impact

At Catawiki, we know our customer's experience is built by the entire journey; from initial brand perception all the way through to selling & buying, paying & shipping, and service & support.

Transform ideas for innovation and improvements based on user research, data analysis, and competitive reviews into viable and creative solutions
Work hands-on to create design deliverables such as user journeys and service blueprints, interaction models, design system elements, and prototypes that demonstrate desired outcomes.
Align with multiple stakeholders, incorporating feedback early and often and encouraging a user-centred focus.
Collaborate closely with the UX team to review designs & copy proposals, contributing to a consistent and coherent platform.
Facilitate and/or participate in concept workshops, topic presentations, design sprints and other creative sessions

Who you are

- A strong conceptual thinker, passionate about always putting user needs first
- 5–7 years of relevant working experience
- An outstanding portfolio demonstrating a variety of high-quality work and problem-solving
- A Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in product design, industrial design, interaction design, or equivalent experience
- Solid understanding of the user-centred design process and research method

Our Offices and Way of Working

Our vibrant offices in Amsterdam, Paris and Lisbon are designed to inspire and connect.

This means we typically ask you to be in the office 2 out of 5 days, roughly 40% of your working time, to collaborate and connect with your colleagues. Of course, if the job description specifies that the role is 100% remote—such as for certain expert or sales positions—then that arrangement will apply.
