Senior Product Designer at WhereIsMyTransport

Description

WhereIsMyTransport is looking for an experienced Senior Product Designer to join our remote-first, global team. As a Senior Product Designer, you are a creative and critical thinker, with strong experience working on native mobile apps; ideally for international markets. Our Senior Product Designers are self-starters, able to work autonomously, and with purpose. They’re output focused and able to use, adjust or invent processes and tools when needed and you know when ‘perfect’ is and isn’t the appropriate solution. We’re looking for someone who is a remarkable communicator, and can hold a room with their articulate thinking and ideas. Finally, they are design practitioners, constantly striving to improve their approach to work.

Overview of activities & responsibilities

• Combine product strategy, insight from research, and product data to create innovative, measurable product solutions that, where necessary, carefully balance business and customer needs.
• Work in collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure designs are feasible yet push the boundaries of what’s possible with our technology.
• Co-creation and ongoing revision of experience design principles, guidelines and component libraries.
• Ensure that design output reflects the specific product brand and experience principles both visually and behaviourally.
• Mentor and lead more junior members of the team.
• Becoming a trusted source of advice and insight in your expert arena; visible and recognisable across the business.

About you

You have:

• Extensive industry experience, desirably some experience working on products for mobile (specifically Android).
• Experience balancing business and customer needs.
• Experience and knowledge of using pattern libraries.
• Extensive experience with heuristic product evaluation.
• Experience using Figma.
• Strong communication skills, particularly communicating ideas and the rationale behind them.
• The ability to take an insight-led, research-based position and promote that to stakeholders across the business.
• The capability to take ownership of streams of work and be autonomous.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience using a variety of usability testing tools.
• Analytics skills.
• Experience designing internal (business ops) tools.
• Helped develop products internationally, and in other languages other than your native tongue.

You are:

• A self-starter.
• Detail orientated, but able to know when a simple solution is ‘good enough’.
• Collaborative and open to constructive feedback.
• Curious, with a desire to continuously learn and upskill.

About us

WhereIsMyTransport is a mobility technology company headquartered in London. We are the leading provider of mobility data and solutions for emerging-market cities in Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Southeast Europe, and Latin America - places where decentralised public transport is the norm. Our advanced and efficient data production methodology digitalises information from a city’s complete public transport network, delivering our clients accurate, reliable, and comprehensive information. The de facto source of mobility data for the world’s largest low- and middle-income cities, WhereIsMyTransport fills the mobility data gap - and fast.

To be successful, our global team of people must be as diverse as the populations that use public transport in the regions where we work. We must be as inclusive as the mobility solutions we develop for these markets. Celebration of difference is essential as we grow - including race, ethnicity, social background, religion, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, and national origin.
