Our team of 70+ designers and user researchers is split into three departments covering User Experience Research, Product- and Brand Design. All designers work embedded in product tribes, in market facing teams or as part of a Global Design team. We are building additional capabilities in areas including industrial design, motion design, data visualization, UX writing and design operations.
As Product Design Lead you will be working in SumUp’s eCommerce-focused team that is developing capabilities for small merchants to set up an online presence. The team’s mission is simplifying e-commerce. Whether merchants want to build their brand website, track multichannel markets or offer customers live chat support, we're there. Raising the bar for ourselves and what our customers expect of us is what we do best at SumUp eCommerce.
We're looking for individuals who are constantly curious, innovative and brave as we work together across departments to push forward better solutions. Your responsibility will include understanding the current product suite, developing new features from onboarding to product support, and bringing customer centricity and research practices to the joint product, design and engineering organization. You will work with designers on the team, as well as collaborate closely with product and engineering to deliver product success.
You are the expert in your specific domain, setting the standard for design excellence. In addition to your role within the eCommerce team, you will be part of the SumUp Design community, coordinating on related design activities, and driving the adoption of the experience strategy into the eCommerce offering.
It is expected that you are tracking product and experience performance across different parts of the merchant journey, working with the data analytics team to define dashboards and tracking criteria. You will marry data-based insights with qualitative insights, collaborating closely with user researchers in your tribe and at a global level.
You will mentor other designers, and foster close collaboration within and across tribes. As we put the user at the center of every decision we need a strong leader that constantly advocates and drives a human-centered design approach.
