Job description

Описание: We're an Amsterdam-based team of 95+ (and counting) with 20+ nationalities amongst us! A varied bunch of "Citizens of The World" with a wide range of skills and hundreds of thousands of kilometers under our travel belts. And we have something important in common (other than our very well-worn passports): We want to change the way people travel. And that's exactly what we're doing, with the travel app to plan, track, and relive trips in a smart and beautiful way. Polarsteps has over 22 million users already, but, for us, this is just the beginning.

Задачи:

• Lead the design of our "Digital Relive" team, focused on one of travel's most meaningful moments: looking back on it all.
• We're building new ways for travelers to relive their trips, both on the road and once they're home, from in-app experiences to shareable formats like Trip Reels and Map Video.
• Oversee the full product lifecycle of concepting, prototyping, and iterating based on design reviews, user testing, feedback, and data like share rates.
• Implement and maintain the existing design & brand guidelines while also creating and adapting guidelines to elevate the overall Polarsteps design, including the look and feel of our shareable formats.
• Own your product pillar, while maintaining close collaboration with the other pillars.
• Proactively ask for and share feedback to keep our product smooth, consistent, and awesome.
• Collaborate with Product Managers and Engineers to ensure your designs are well-specced and built as intended, down to the last pixel and color.

Требования:

• Being a seasoned professional with 5+ years of experience designing lovable products
• A strong portfolio, with shipped designs, that demonstrates end-to-end (hybrid UX and UI) product design, with a strong visual eye for typography, layout, and storytelling
• Experience designing for native mobile apps
• Hands-on experience with user insights and testing, like A/B tests and usability studies
• A proactive mindset, with a passion for getting involved in the entire product development process, thinking and problem-solving like a product manager
• Fluency in modern design tools such as Figma/Sketch or similar
• Experience in prototyping tools such as Principle/Protopie or similar
• Skills in partnering with engineers to drive QA processes and uphold implementation fidelity
• A genuine interest in motion, video, and visual storytelling, and the curiosity to grow in it
• You don't need to be an After Effects pro, but you get excited about how things move and feel.
• Будет плюсом: Hands-on experience with motion or video tools (like After Effects or Premiere), or with designing for social platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
• Not a dealbreaker if that's not your world yet; it's something we're happy to grow together

Условия:

• Salary range: Between EUR 75.000 - 90.000 gross per year incl 8% holiday allowance (based on 40 hours/week). Where you land in the range depends on your experience and skills, assessed during the interview process.
• Equity: You'll be able to participate in our Polarsteps SAR Plan.
• A yearly free flight or train ride to a random location!
• A shiny new MacBook to work your magic on.
• Hybrid working, our way.
• Work from home and the office, we ask everyone to be in the office 2 days a week. It's how we stay flexible, focused, and meaningfully connected in person.
• An extensive home office set-up, everything from noise-canceling headphones to a standing desk.
• 30 days of vacation (for adventures or sitting on the couch, it's up to you)
• Two paid Culture Days for days that are important to you but not recognized by the official Dutch calendar.
• The option to switch up your Zoom background by working from another country for up to 8 weeks a year.
• A personal development budget for that curious mind of yours!
• A pension plan to help you save for those around-the-world retirement trips.
• Delicious daily team lunches.
• Awesome monthly parties, as well as team trips away.
• A lively office in downtown Amsterdam, with travel costs reimbursed.
• Free Polarsteps Travel Books to contain all your far-flung adventures.
