WHAT WE’D LOVE YOU TO DO (AND LOVE DOING)

As a Senior Product Designer, you will drive and contribute to strategic projects that shape how we might better serve our 48+ million customers in the future.

• You will work collaboratively with product management, engineering, content designers and other stakeholders and different teams across Zalando.
• You will bring big-picture and systems thinking to life through collaboration, creativity and craft. By thinking big, adaptable and at scale, you’ll make the future tangible to fuel the vision of internal teams or markets.
• You will use a wide variety of skills and frameworks. While strong foundational UX skills are a must, experience with designing for robust platforms, and experience in systems thinking with a strong love of craft will help you succeed.
• As a thought leader and role model, you will contribute to the Zalando Product Design community and the larger European design industry by sharing best practices, mentoring and teaching colleagues, crafting best-in-class solutions, bar-raising in design reviews, and sparking inspiring conversations.

WE’D LIKE TO MEET YOU IF

• You have worked on ambiguous strategic projects, are able to create clarity amid uncertainty, and can guide team members through such projects.
• You have experience designing and delivering robust and scalable customer experiences by partnering with stakeholders, engineers and other designers to develop remarkable solutions that can be re-used and adapted.
• You love designing innovative technology products and place humans at the center of your design process — ensuring that geeky tech and forward-looking experience design always serves real human needs.
• You have a solid range of design skills in your ever growing toolkit– including user research, workshop facilitation, UX and UI design– to ensure fluid and holistic customer journeys.
