Digitalisation and New Services Unit is responsible for exploring, identifying and accelerating realisation of new technology driven business opportunities within Stora Enso. In partnership with divisions it builds and executes digital roadmaps and develops competencies needed in the future.
Digitalisation contributes to Stora Enso’s profitable growth strategy in all stages of the value chain from forest to the customers. We use digital technologies to optimise raw material sourcing, production, supply chain and driving sales through well managed insights of product and market trends. Generally, our digitalisation projects aim at developing a competitive advantage by making full use of opportunities coming from digitalisation, driving both topline and efficiency.
We are now looking for a Senior UX Designer with front end development skills to support our digitalisation acceleration efforts. The position is based in Helsinki, Stockholm or Ostrava.
As part of the platformisation exercises driven by our Center of Excellence Emerging Technologies team, we have released Stora Enso Design System; the SEEDS (see https://designsystem.storaenso.com).

· SASS, React, Angular for component and pattern implementations
· PowerBI for data visualisations
· Azure DevOps services for web app hosting, code repository, work planning (Kanban), build and test pipelines and npm package management
From these, SASS and React skills are a must. Knowledge of some of the other above-mentioned areas is an asset.
In addition, you will be working with practical UX design and development for key projects which are using SEEDS. It is an asset if you are already skilled in Service Design, since you will be running Design Thinking & Doing workshops and working hands-on conducting user interviews, design sprints and usability evaluation sessions helping our businesses in concept shaping for various projects.

You will have a key role in the full cycle of digital product development, from exploration to final polishing and adoption follow-up in a systematic and structured manner. You will have clear goals that you can co-decide and co-plan. You will be surrounded with world class experts and thought leaders in the digital transformation area supporting you in your career development and daily tasks. You will be a part of the transition from user-centered design to planet-centered design that is happening in our industry.
