Senior Product Designer (UX/UI)

How we work together

Being clear about this up front, because it is the thing candidates most often get a surprise about.

• Product discovery and concepts sit with our Head of Product. He runs that process and writes the specs, so you will not be starting from a blank page. But what we build and why is decided as a team, and talking to customers is something several of us do.
• You own how it gets designed. Interaction, layout, visual language, the design system, and the quality of what actually ships. Within the problem, the solution is yours, and you are expected to push back when the proposed approach is the wrong one.
• Design-led topics become yours to drive. Not on day one. But once you know the product and the industry, we would expect you to bring your own proposals for the things design should be leading, whether that is navigation, information architecture or a visual overhaul, and to take them through the concept phase yourself rather than waiting for a spec. That is what we are looking for at senior level rather than mid.

Requirements

• Several years designing complex, logic-heavy B2B or SaaS products, including at least one you shaped visually over a longer period
• Strong visual craft. Typography, hierarchy, spacing and information density in data-heavy interfaces, and the judgement to make a dense admin tool feel calm
• Deep fluency in a modern design tool, including building and maintaining component libraries
• Comfortable designing for localisation. The interface ships in 15 languages. You will design in German and English, but layouts need to hold up when strings run considerably longer or shorter
• Responsive and mobile design, including users who only ever access the platform on a phone
• You can run interviews and usability tests yourself, and turn what you hear into design decisions
• Fluent English

Nice to have

• German good enough to run customer interviews in it
• Experience designing within an established product, not only greenfield work
• Experience with multi-tenant products where customers apply their own branding

Not part of this role

Brand, marketing and website design. This is a product role, full stop. If your portfolio is mainly campaigns, landing pages and visual identity, we are probably not a good match.

We are looking for two things: evidence of visual and interaction craft in a complex interface, and at least one case study that shows your reasoning from problem to shipped result. If you have worked on tying a growing product together, we especially want to see that.

Benefits

• Real ownership: you are the design function, and the product will visibly carry your decisions
• Direct access to customers and to decision-makers, with no layers in between
• We believe in the power of working remotely. It is your choice from where you work, anywhere within EU time zones
• We support flexible working hours. It is your choice when you work
• elearnio is built on the idea of life-long learning. We offer a budget for your development and training needs
• One session with our product team, around 90 minutes. We get to know each other, you walk us through one project from your portfolio in depth, and we talk through how you would approach a real elearnio design problem. A discussion, not an exercise. Please pick one project to go deep on rather than a tour of several.
• If that goes well, a second session with our Managing Director, around 30 minutes, covering the contractual side and anything else you want to ask.
• Offer extended to successful applicants

elearnio is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe our team should reflect a rich diversity, so we encourage people of all backgrounds to apply.
