Senior Product Designer; UX​/UI

elearnio is a learning platform for digital preboarding, onboarding and continuous training. Companies use us to combine their own content, mandatory compliance training and external courses into structured learning experiences for their employees, partners and customers. Our customers are primarily mid-sized businesses in the DACH region.

We are a small, remote-first team. Decisions get made by a handful of people who all know the product, so there is very little between having a good idea and it being agreed.

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer (UX/UI) to work remotely from anywhere within EU time zones. You will be our only designer, and you will own how elearnio looks and feels. That is a broad remit. Every screen our customers touch is your responsibility, across a platform that covers a lot of ground.

If you need a design team around you to do your best work, this is the wrong role. If you have been the design function in a small product company before and enjoyed the ownership that comes with it, let us talk.

• Own the visual and interaction design language of the entire platform, and hold it together across a product that keeps growing
• Turn product concepts into wireframes, then into build-ready design files with states, edge cases, responsive behaviour and interaction detail
• Own our design system: the component library, tokens, and keeping it honest against what is actually implemented in the frontend
• Design to WCAG 2.1 AA. Accessibility comes up more and more in DACH procurement, and we would rather build it in than retrofit it
• Run design QA together with our QA team, so what ships matches what was designed
• Run customer interviews and usability tests, in support of discovery and to validate your own concepts
• Build up genuine depth in our product and in corporate learning and development as an industry, so your decisions come from understanding the domain rather than from generic patterns
• Write the microcopy that goes with your designs, in English and ideally German
• Grow into driving design-led topics yourself, from proposal through to concept

Being clear about this up front, because it is the thing candidates most often get a surprise about.

Product discovery and concepts sit with our Head of Product. He runs that process and writes the specs, so you will not be starting from a blank page. But what we build and why is decided as a team, and talking to customers is something several of us do.

You own how it gets designed. Interaction, layout, visual language, the design system, and the quality of what actually ships. Within the problem, the solution is yours, and you are expected to push back when the proposed approach is the wrong one.

Design-led topics become yours to drive. Not on day one. But once you know the product and the industry, we would expect you to bring your own proposals for the things design should be leading, whether that is navigation, information architecture or a visual overhaul,
