Product designer to our Merchant UX Team

You know Vipps MobilePay. But you probably don't know half of what we do.

Behind the familiar orange app is a whole world of products, experiences and challenges. From making payments effortless for millions of people to helping businesses succeed and exploring entirely new opportunities beyond payments.

And behind all that? A pretty great bunch of people.

We're now looking for another one.

First, the people.

We're pretty proud of the people we work with. They're really good at what they do, even better to work with, and not afraid to challenge each other.

As a designer, you'll have a strong design community to call home. There's always someone ready to help untangle a tricky problem, challenge your thinking or jump into a spontaneous design discussion. And usually someone making you laugh along the way.

But you'll spend just as much time with people outside design. Product, tech, commercial, marketing – you name it. We like different perspectives, strong opinions and people who genuinely want to build something better together.

Design has a strong voice here. Not just in how things look, but in what we build and why.

Curious about the people behind the pixels? Meet Karoline, one of our designers, in this podcast episode.

Big ambitions. Real impact.

We're a Nordic challenger taking on some of the biggest tech companies in the world. And we're not exactly short on ambition.

Take the moment of payment. When paying is just a click or tap away, even the smallest bit of friction can make someone choose a familiar American giant instead.

Our ambition? To be there in every payment moment. And to be the one people choose. Every single time.

But we're not planning to stop there. We're also exploring new products and business opportunities, including things like AI-powered shopping assistants. There's a lot more to Vipps MobilePay than moving money around.

You’ll join our Merchants area, designing experiences for businesses and the millions of people interacting with them. Right now, we're particularly looking to strengthen our e-commerce teams, but we want designers who are curious and comfortable taking on new challenges as our business evolves.

What you'll actually do.

Your job isn't just to design solutions. It's to help figure out which problems are worth solving in the first place.

You'll work with people across product, tech, commercial and beyond to:

Shape the direction. Identify opportunities, challenge assumptions and help define the problems and goals worth pursuing.

Experiment and learn. Explore ideas, test hypotheses, use data and insights, and measure whether what we build actually works.

Make it real. Turn promising ideas into intuitive, visually strong experiences that create value for users and the business.

We move fast, take risks and make compromises. But we also care deeply about quality. Knowing when to push for something exceptional and when good is good enough is part of the craft.

Who we're looking for.

We're more interested in what you can do than how long you've been doing it.

You’ll probably thrive here if you:

Have serious design skills. You're creative, visually strong and have an eye for the details that make experiences feel effortless. You know the difference between something that looks good and something that actually works.

Get the business side of things. You understand commercial goals and genuinely care whether what you design creates value. Great design isn't much use if it doesn't solve the right problem.

Challenge the brief. You don't just take a problem at face value. You ask questions, challenge assumptions and help figure out what we should be building in the first place.

Bring something new. New perspectives, fresh ideas, creative thinking, strong opinions. And the ability to listen, collaborate and make the people around you better.

We believe in full-stack designers who contribute from discovery to delivery. Having a superpower is welcome, and right now we'd particularly love someone with exceptional visual and interaction design skills. Product experience and commercial understanding are strong advantages.

The days of designing in a Figma bubble are numbered.

At least, that's what we believe.

AI is changing how we design and build products. Fast.

We believe the days of designers spending weeks perfecting Figma files before handing them over to developers are coming to an end.

We're exploring new ways of working where designers, developers and product people can experiment, prototype and build together. Less handoff. More hands-on.

We're becoming an AI-driven company, and we expect you to be curious, experiment and actively challenge how we work.

You don't need to have figured it all out. But you should definitely want to.

The practical stuff.

Location: Oslo. We expect you at our office at least three full days a week. We offer flexibility, but this isn't a remote position.

Language: English is our common working language across four Nordic markets (hence this ad). Norwegian or another Scandinavian language is a definite advantage, especially when connecting with merchants and users.

Experience: We're open to different levels of seniority. We're more interested in what you can do than how long you've been doing it.

Application deadline: Friday 30th of October
