- Lead product design initiatives from conception to final execution
- Drive continuous improvements in our design processes, proposing strategies to elevate the quality of outputs
- Ensure consistency in design outputs by collaborating closely with product managers, other designers and engineers
- Drive the evolution and adherence to SafetyWing's design system
- Present product design ideas to cross-functional teams and senior leadership
🧪 We are looking for someone who:
- Has advanced product design experience demonstrated through a portfolio of impactful design solutions
- Has experience designing user experiences within insurance, finance or other compliance regulated sectors
- Designs beyond the screen, considering dependencies, user flows, and long-term product architecture to create coherent and scalable solutions
- Is proficient in using design and prototyping tools such as Figma and is committed to continuous learning of new features
- Has experience conducting usability testing
- Can communicate design ideas clearly and champion design principles across diverse audiences, including design and non-design stakeholders
- Can think beyond the immediate design task and understand the bigger business and product strategy
😀 We like to work with people who:
- Want to help build a global social safety net on the internet
- Think for themselves instead of copying others
- Are willing to try new things, even with the risk of failure
- Are intellectually curious and open to new ideas
- Are creative and bold in the face of any problems
- Have strong integrity and do the right thing
🧘 What we offer:
- Fully remote work environment – work from anywhere globally
- Competitive compensation and equity compensation
- A minimum of four weeks of vacation per year
- A personal development budget
- Premium health insurance that travels with you
- Travel insurance any time you travel outside of your home country
