Team Manager UX/Design

Why you would want this job
Throughout your career, you have developed an expertise in UX or Industrial design. Working hands-on to build tomorrow's products is what you do best. Moving forward in your career, you have the desire also to share your competence with others and be a part of building a fantastic competence team in design through recruitment and competence development of current employees. You will be the manager of a team of 5, with the plan to grow to 10 over time.

In this role, you will be a part of Knightec Gothenburg office and Knightec Design Hub, where you will play an important role in evolving and growing this area even further. You will be a part of defining the future business within the scope of UX and Industrial Design by coaching and managing your team, coaching and mentoring more junior designers, and through your own assignments.

Knightec has a broad client base within a wide variety of industries, and you will get to work hands-on with product development, physical but also where physical meets digital. You will have the opportunity to work with local customers, but you will also be a part of teams built from competencies from Knightec offices all over Sweden. At Knightec, we work together in the process of creating something great. We collaborate between offices because we believe it makes us better, and honestly, it's more fun working and thriving together.

You control your development, no matter which path you want to take. If it's to reach a new role in the future or a specific technology, we will be there to help you move forward. You will be surrounded by people that care. Not just about the project and technology, but about each other. We do it as a team. That's the way forward.
