The Role

We are seeking our second product designer to own the design work for new features and improve existing UI/UX. We are looking for a mid-level designer with SaaS experience to work in our London office in the middle of Soho. The salary range for this role is competitive and based on experience. In this position, you will report to the VP of Product. We respond to applications within a week and provide feedback at each stage of the process.

Why join us now?

This is now the best time to join V7. You’d be joining a team that has found its groove and is excited about scaling. Design plays a critical role at V7. As our 2nd product designer, you’ll have a huge part in shaping our product direction, making sure our product design and branding are both highly functional and elegantly minimalistic. We’re currently at an exciting stage. Big enough to give you stability and an incredible work environment. Small enough to shape our design system, culture and processes. Our customers find a lot of value in what we offer, and we have a lot of ideas on what else we can build to make UX easier, more engaging, and more elegant. We’re all generalists, constantly taking on new challenges, which means you’ll engage with a wide range of design tasks. Occasionally, you’ll be able to contribute to our overall brand through exciting projects such as keynotes, 1-minute video ads, or web design.

The process:

Each person that joins our team leaves a major impact on our product, culture, and trajectory, so we want to be sure this addition is right for both parties! Introductory chat (30 minutes) where you can ask any questions you have for us and begin to get to know each a bit. The goal is to assess chemistry and communication. Portfolio deep dive (45 minutes) followed by a take-home assignment. We will work together on a small design exercise to help us really assess what it’s like to work together. This is likely to take 4 hours over ~1 week. Final interview + white-boarding activity (60 minutes) where you’ll present your design solutions from the take-home assignment and we’ll collaborate over a small design exercise.
