About the Senior Product Designer Role:

As a Senior Product Designer at Nearform your main task will be to confidently be able to work with clients that need guidance on how to turn their idea into a tangible product. However, as you’ll likely work on a variety of projects your responsibilities may also include:

• Helping clients clarify and enhance their business objectives through the lens of design.
• Planning and executing UX research on a small scale project basis.
• Collaborating with client design groups on a variety of things, ranging from contributing to their design systems, working with brand teams to mature their approach on brand adherence and product design to exploring and working on their accessibility standards.
• Facilitating workshops and smaller scale creative problem-solving sessions.
• Working with and supporting Design and Technical Leaders in project execution and timely delivery.
• Collaborating with client teams.

What we are looking for in this person:

• Significant experience delivering at a Senior Product Designer level. Our Seniors typically have at least 6 years’ commercial experience in their field.
• Deep knowledge of user interface design, having experience working on projects like rich web apps/websites, mobile applications and enterprise/B2B software.
• Practical experience working across the product design lifecycle - you will be as comfortable doing UI design as much as you are making user journeys, personas, and prototypes.
• Practical experience helping customers, development teams and other colleagues to apply and drive a user-centred design process.
• Extensive working knowledge of a variety of design tools, such as Miro, Figma or equivalent.
• A good understanding of the constraints and possibilities of modern web technologies. You don’t need to be able to code (though are welcome to!) but a sensibility is a must.
• Practical experience in evaluating products with customers. You've done user testing before and are able to apply that on a small scale to a project.
• Practical experience of delivering in an agile environment.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Professional proficiency in English.
