The Role:
If you consider yourself an autonomous Product Designer who has specialised for a little while on mobile products, and keeps the customer at the heart of everything you do, read on…
In TravelPerk, we work in “squads” which are small, autonomous teams made up of full-stack engineers, a Product Manager, and a Product Designer. As a Product Designer, you will be expected to own design within your squad while contributing to the wider design team and product functions within TravelPerk.
As our new mobile designer, you will work closely with the mobile product team. Your primary goal will be to design the next-generation mobile interfaces across multiple platforms such as iOS, and Android.
But that’s not all…We are looking for someone who will break squad boundaries. This means that you should also be comfortable taking ownership of and driving forward a complementary specialism(s) as well as having a wider impact across teams.
This role can be based from London, Barcelona or Berlin and requires you to be in the office once per week, or four times per month.
What you’ll do:
Within your squad, we expect that you are confident in the following:
- A solid grasp of User Experience and Visual Design fundamentals
- Developing intuitive, usable, and engaging interactions and visual designs for mobile
- Taking ownership of the entire design process from research, ideation, and concept generation, through to validation and testing of your high-fidelity solutions
- Working with our design system to ensure consistency while helping to improve and expand on our mobile component library
- Maintaining a growth-oriented mindset, openly seeking feedback to improve and expand your knowledge
- Developing a partnership with your Product Manager to fully understand customer needs and business value, challenging each other to raise the bar for your product area
- Working with our in-house researcher to coordinate and run usability tests, discovery sessions, contextual analyses plus any other relevant research required to better understand the problems that our customers are faced with, identifying ways to uncover opportunities
- Ideating quickly and effectively with your squad, favoring communication and collaboration over ping-ponging via tools
- Continuously optimizing the design process in your squad and across the wider team
- Testing and optimizing low–high fidelity prototypes with key stakeholders and customers to iteratively validate that we are solving the right problems
- Driving a mobile-first mindset in your squad and beyond
What you’ll need:
- Strong experience designing content for digital products such as native apps
- Interaction design experience with the ability to define how an experience should behave based on understanding people's needs, plus consideration of how this innovation will scale
- Use appropriate prototyping tools to demonstrate how a particular flow or interaction will work
- Visual design experience with proficiency in typography, desktop/mobile UI, color, layout, iconography and aesthetic sense and how these elements impact product function
- Evidence of strategic product thinking with the ability to develop product goals, identify opportunities, and make decisions based on the impact to people and the company
- Excellent understanding of user-experience design for mobile, technology trends, demonstrable design skills, and ability to show relevant work
- Good knowledge of platform-specific patterns (e.g. iOS Human interface guidelines, Android Material guidelines)
- Contribution to and familiarization with Design Systems
