Product Designer - Design systems

Product Designer - Design systems
You know what is the strongest benefit for the Fellowship of the Ring? Diversity! Some hobbits, an elf, a dwarf, two humans and a wizard. The diversity of skills and background is what gets the ring to Mount Doom.

You know what is NOT diverse? Your average board meeting, management team, or, to be frank, average company. And that is actually causing lower levels of innovation and lower profitability. Because of how most companies recruit and view talent, they end up missing out on great talent, and great talent miss out on a lot of job opportunities. At Alva Labs, we want to change that.

We are now looking for a designer that can join our fast-growing team, and take our design system and product to the next level. Are you our next design-elf? Or design-wizard?



The company
Alva Labs is a Stockholm-based SaaS company that offers a solution that is helping global companies grow their team in a scientific way. Alva has created a unique candidate assessment platform that helps companies build their organisations with the right people in the right place. By combining state-of-the-art psychometrics, data science, and an obsession with candidate experience, it provides the needed tool for data-driven talent acquisition.

We are growing 2-3x per year and are in the exciting phase to launch Alva in new markets. Current focus is on building great product, enable Product-Lead-Growth and release our next big bets.

The role
As a designer at Alva you will be responsible end-to-end, working with both UX and UI (the designer for the squad we have in mind will be a bit heavier on the visual side though). You will not exactly be told what to do, but rather be given a problem. You will need to, with the help of user research and a great team, find a solution to that problem. You will be one of the leaders in the squad, driving a lot of the work together with the lead engineer. You will be responsible for how to organize design systems and language.

Alva can offer a fast-paced environment for you to thrive in, with a lot of opportunities to grow professionally.

You
We are looking for someone with a bit of experience, working with design systems and launching product before. B2C, B2B, agency, doesn’t really matter. But we believe you have a passion for prototyping and working with how to design things.

As a person you have good communication skills, enjoy working in an organized way, and have the ability to collaborate and work with others.

The internal language is English, so no need to speak Swedish.

Your future colleagues
We are a team of 60 people, representing 16 different nationalities and a wide selection of professional backgrounds. And all of that is absolutely fantastic, but the true beauty is the trust and warmth you will experience. You will most likely never be as supported and have so many brilliant minds to learn from and ask for guidance. To quote our CEO during our last company trip, “It feels like hanging out with a bunch of old friends”.

We have a hybrid approach, so working from home or at the office, is your choice.

If you want to creep out on this (perhaps your future) --> TEAM (https://www.notion.so/alvalabs/People-9b32574c8b3747759680da1dbda59b35)<--, fire away!

Why join Alva?
The problem we are solving is not just engaging and interesting (the combination of psychological science and statistics, with a large chunk of candidate experience obsession, what’s not to love?!), but it is also something that has a tremendous impact on both people and businesses. You will have the opportunity to work with something that truly makes a difference.

With 250+ customers, strong growth, happy users, and 200 000+ assessed candidates, an NPS of 48, and a CSAT of +80, there is a lot of greatness to build from.

Besides, we have flexible work hours, where you can decide for yourself what works best for you. You will get 7 weeks of vacation, an on-market salary, a generous preventive care benefit, and a few other neat perks.
