Product Designer

Hi, it is a pleasure to meet you. We are looking for someone who loves to think creatively, who is not afraid of exploring the boundaries of what is possible. We are at the beginning of our journey to create a platform that will change how companies run their IT.  

For us, the user is at the center of everything, our founder himself was (and is) a user, and we strive to bring the best user experience to our customers. We know that this does not come easy, the IT world is complex, and many separate roles are involved. The workflows are complex and managing risk is on everyone’s mind. 

We want to ensure that what we build excites our users and helps them to be more efficient in their work. For that, we are looking for someone to establish design as a discipline within VirtualMetric, in close alignment with both engineering and product management. We appreciate the breath and complexity of your craft and would love to have someone on our team who can balance creativity and the need for structure. We are here for the long run and want to create something that lasts. 

Some of the things we need your expertise on 

Let us share a few details on what that means for a Product Designer. We work with the triple diamond approach, and consider (Product) Discovery key to our success. That said, we are a smaller company and cherish a “fail fast, learn fast” approach. Some of the things you will take on are: 

• User-Centric Design: You will lead the design process from concept to implementation, ensuring a user-centric approach that prioritizes the needs and preferences of our target audience. You will align the design process with product discovery and the development phases. 
• Design Execution: You will produce high-quality designs, wireframes, prototypes, and user flows. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to bring design concepts to life. 
• Prototyping and Testing: You will drive early validation of design concepts and iterate based on user feedback. 
• UX Research: You will help establish a habit of continuous, qualitative user research that allows us to learn faster and validate more often. 

What you ideally bring to the table are experiences from similar situations: 

• We are operating in a Business-to-Business (B2B) model, ideally you have spent several years working for software companies in the enterprise B2B space. 
• We are a startup, our strength is that we operate with a small team. Ideally you have worked in product teams and have actively contributed to mature their way of working. 
• We know our user and we know the space, because of the complexity we are still dealing with a high degree of uncertainty. You are not only comfortable with it but have been in similar situation and found ways to deal with it. 
• You have a drive to continuously learn and improve. We would love to hear how you have gotten to where you are and what you are planning to dive into next.
• You enjoy working in a multinational and multi-cultural environment. 
• An obvious one: full proficiency in English, written and verbal.
