What’s in it for you?
Volvo Cars is on an ambitious journey to redefine what it means to own a vehicle during one of most innovative times in the transport industry. Volvo Cars is looking to redefine all aspects of the car eco-system including ownership, autonomous driving, vehicle electrification, sustainability, and online shopping. User Experience as a discipline is a key part of Volvo Cars' strategy and a newly formed UX organization will help gather insights about our users and redefine and elevate the users' experience of Volvo's products and Services.

We are seeking a Lead UX Designer - Electrification, to expand our team and focus on defining our customer’s vehicle electrification journey.

Your mission
As a Lead UX Designer on the Car UX team, you will work on defining features, products, and systems within the digital systems of the car. Your responsibility will be to deliver design artifacts, such as user flows, wireframes, and prototypes that balance design aesthetics with intuitive functionality. You will collaborate with other designers and ensure a seamless customer experience across Volvo’s digital landscape. And as part of a product team, you will communicate designs, ideas, and rationale with your team using data and customer insights. As a designer you advocate for the user, you will develop a deep understanding of our customer needs and pain-points, serving as an expert for your product team, and develop ideas for new and enhanced features.

Who you are
You’ve been designing for 10+ years for a consumer-focused tech company, so you understand what it takes to create elegant, consumer-oriented experiences. You are a versatile designer who uses a full range of skills—product design, interaction design, and visual design — to ensure you deliver magical experiences to the customer. As a strong collaborator, you can work with not only design partners, but many other stakeholders from marketing to engineering with a people-focused design mentality. You constantly are looking to hone your design instinct through user feedback. Whether that’s hands-on user research or a quantitative A/B test.
