Arbetsbeskrivning
Senior Product Designer to Alva Labs
Would you hire everyone you went to school with? No? Didn’t think so. Just because you have gone through a certain education it doesn’t mean you are all equally skilled.
But then why are organizations consistently evaluating talent based on educational background? Especially when estimations indicate that 50% of all jobs will require new skill sets in the coming three years. Well, because they got it all wrong.
At Alva, we build a product that helps organizations find the right people, not the right CVs. Do you want to come and create a step change in the UX of our existing and new features as a product designer?
The company
Alva Labs is a Stockholm-based SaaS company that offers a solution that is helping global organizations grow their team in a scientific way. Alva has created a unique candidate assessment platform that helps companies find the right candidate for them, and candidates to find their dream job. Combining state-of-the-art psychometrics, data science, and an obsession with candidate experience, it provides the needed tool for data-driven talent acquisition.
Our current focus is on transforming our offerings to meet the needs of larger and more complex organizations. By targeting this segment, we aim to redefine how the market perceives talent. We are embarking on ambitious product innovations and evolving our go-to-market strategies. In this dynamic environment, you as a product designer will play a pivotal role in shaping the future success of our company.
The role
Design needs to be the heart and soul of our successful product work. We believe that designers should possess the ability to identify the right problems, evaluate and propose effective solutions, and articulate ways to build the right thing.
This role will report to our Design Manager. You will be part of a small design team, but work very closely to the Product and Engineering teams. We are organized in squads, so your closest colleagues will likely be a Product Manager and an Engineering Manager.
In your day-to-day work, you will:
Work in a highly collaborative fashion with Product Managers, Engineers, Data Scientists, Sales reps, and Customer Success Managers to solve big and hairy product problems.
Be self-sufficient by taking full ownership of your work. You will be responsible for every detail, every step of the way, from whiteboard sketching to high-fidelity build specifications.
Rapidly produce multiple concepts and workflows, understanding when deeper exploration is warranted and when it is best to change paths and try another approach.
Plan, conduct, and analyze user research with recruiters, customers, and candidates. Take into account existing insights, technical constraints, business needs, and specific platform demands to produce data-informed solutions.
Carefully balance user experience with business needs.
Bring your experience and expertise in order to, together with your manager and other designers, help shape a collaborative and more mature design team at Alva.
You
We are seeking a Senior Product Designer that has a solid track record of working with design systems and launching products. Exactly where you have built your experience is less relevant, ideally some from a SaaS-product, but we value your expertise regardless of whether it lies in B2C, B2B, or agency contexts. The important aspect for us is that you have a history of seeing your designs being shipped to production and having iterated on them based on user feedback.
To be a successful candidate, you:
Have significant work experience as a Product Designer or UI/UX Designer.
You have a strong portfolio demonstrating what you have worked with and accomplished. Make sure that you share the portfolio in your application!
Possess core design skill sets, including visual design, prototyping, interaction design, and information architecture.
Are very comfortable with planning, conducting, and analyzing user research.
Excel in explaining your work, process, and findings to cross-functional stakeholders, actively seeking feedback to produce your best work.
Take ownership over design projects from start to finish, independently involving and leading contributors such as product managers, engineers, and people scientists to a successful outcome.
Fluency in English is a must, Swedish proficiency is not required.
