Senior Experience Designer

Department: User Experience

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Utrecht, NL

Reporting To: Leon Steneker

Description

You’re an excellent candidate for Bizzdesign because you …

• Live in the Netherlands and can commute to the job’s location (2-3 days per week in the Utrecht office)
• Speak fluent English
• Have 7 years of work experience as a Designer

About the role

This role is designed to ensure that we’re building the right things for the right people. You will leverage well-established design methods and best practices to navigate through multiple phases of diverging and converging, to land on the most delightful experiences. You will be part of the larger Design team (UXR, UXD, VD), which sits within the Product development division, but your impact will reach beyond “just” product. As part of the product “triad,” you will work closely with multi-disciplinary peers in Product and Tech to translate strategy to implementation.

What will you do

• Facilitate workshops and collaborate closely with Product Management and Engineering to define strategy and experience-based roadmaps to drive the implementation of innovative solutions.
• Make sure that opportunities land in the right hands and eventually make their way through all relevant stages of the Discovery and/or Development cycle.
• Conceptualize concepts and ideas that bring maximum value to our users, striving for optimal usability and accessibility.
• Apply the right level of fidelity of your work in the different stages of product development to get to valuable outcomes, whether that is a whiteboard sketch, wireframes, storyboards, flows, diagrams, or anything else that helps communicate ideas effectively.
• Translate opportunities and insights into actionable pieces of work.
• Consume from and contribute to our (multi-dimensional) Design System.
• Test and evaluate hypotheses with users to make sure we’re still doing the right things, and course-correct when needed.
• Present ideas, concepts, and design solutions to various stakeholders and incorporate feedback into your designs where valuable.

What we are looking for

• You have at least 7 years of work experience as a Designer.
• You take ownership where needed and pride in your performance and its impact on the company’s success.
• You pay strong attention to detail, care about the bigger picture, and have a keen eye for aesthetics.
• You can clearly articulate your ideas, designs, and suggestions, and will always advocate for the user experience.
• You are a critical thinker, ask questions by default, and have excellent problem-solving skills.
• You have Research and Discovery efforts well embedded in your thinking and ways of working, and ensure your insights inform product decisions.
• You are fluent in English (verbal and written).

What we offer

• A competitive salary complemented by variable compensation.
• A premium pension plan to help you build a secure and comfortable future.
• 28 vacation days to recharge, with the option to buy up to 10 extra days whenever you need more freedom and flexibility.
• Hybrid working that truly works: enjoy a balance of 2–3 collaborative in-office days, with the remaining days designed for focused work from home.
• Smooth commuting with an NS Business Card or mileage reimbursement. Your journey, your choice.
• Top quality IT equipment from day one, plus a personal tech budget so you can tailor or upgrade your setup to your liking.
• A monthly work-from-home allowance to help you create your ideal home office environment.
• Global collaboration in an international environment, working alongside talented people from all over the world.
