We’re looking for an experienced Product Designer to join one of our cross-functional product squads. This is a great opportunity to play a leading role in how our customers use and enjoy our product.

Your mission:

• Collaborate using strong communication, documentation, and facilitation skills with Product Managers, Developers, Data Analysts, and other Product Designers.
• Advocate for and implement intuitive and accessible user experiences, balancing the ideal user experience with technical constraints, delivery strategy, and business risk.
• Help improve how design operates at SimplyCook, contributing to the improvement of our design team as a whole.

Your profile:

• You’ve led the design of externally-facing web and mobile applications in a fast-growing company before.
• You excel at taking a pragmatic approach to solving problems through great design, supported by data and always advocating for the best possible user experience.
• You care about sharing your knowledge and helping us build and improve our design system and practices at SimplyCook.
• You’re a creative thinker, able to reverse-engineer user problems and reason from first principles.
• You possess humility, optimism, and a desire to learn and grow fast.
