Job description

We’ve signed up to an ambitious journey. Join us!

As Arrive, we guide customers and communities towards brighter futures and more livable cities, it isn’t a challenge just anyone could take on. Luckily, we have something to help us make it happen. Our people and our values. We Arrive Curious, Focused and Together. Just as our entire brand is inspired by the North Star, the shining light leading travelers to their destinations since time began, our values guide us. They help us be at our best. For our customers. For the cities and communities we serve. For ourselves. As a global team, we are transforming urban mobility. Let’s grow better, together.

The Role

We’re looking for a seasoned and highly capable Product Designer that has experience in elevating design impact across a wide range of products, in a complex space. In this role, you will work closely with key stakeholders and product designers to maximize the quality of the user experience in several realms.

We’re in a phase of continuous and intense iteration, refinement and reshaping of several parts of our product offering. Our ambitions are high –we want to have a world-class portfolio of products that effectively meet our users needs and have a strong and positive impact on their day to day lives. The person in this role will play an integral part in achieving this.

You will be working out of a centralized design team, together with design leadership, UX Research, Writing and Localization, supporting initiatives across several product verticals and ecosystems (including apps, web, wearables, automotive, as well as hardware). In your day to day, you will spend a lot of time with the full, 30 person strong, design team. You will be reporting to the Head of Product Design.

The broader R&D organization includes a genuinely diverse and distributed team of over 450 talented specialists in product, engineering, design, and analytics.

How to make an impact

• Having a strong focus on collaboration and enablement, with an entrepreneurial mindset. Roll up your sleeves and partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders and peers, to elevate execution and impact across the product offering.
• Drive or support ambitious, ambiguous and strategically important projects from a design standpoint. Cover work spanning across teams and domains to ensure consistency, quality and impact.
• Support in shaping the longer term direction for the suite of products. Work to define both visual directionality and strategic momentum. Uncover and support in capitalizing on new, undiscovered opportunities.
• Ensure a high bar of quality and consistency across products. Support and mentor junior and senior designers, developing craft, enabling best practices, and strengthening design culture. Take a systemic approach and ensure processes are clear and efficient.

About you

You are a well experienced product designer with a strong track record of shipping impactful work. You’ve likely spent plenty of time at product companies – either larger ones, or startups – working in cross-functional contexts, but agency side experience is also of relevance.

You have a world-class foundation in craft, allowing you to execute quickly with an outstanding bar of quality. You also hold an ability to quickly grasp strategic perspectives. Your experience and skillset means that you can navigate ambiguity with ease and are comfortable tackling nuanced challenges with senior stakeholders, as well as more junior collaborators.

’You’re equally comfortable with taking on initiatives to improve processes, or coach more junior designers, as you are with creating high fidelity prototypes, weaving complex functionality into elegant interfaces with ease.

Your background

• 10+ years of experience in design, with an emphasis on product design work in cross functional contexts.
• Demonstrated experience from working with ambiguous challenges, collaborating with senior stakeholders.
• Proven experience in leading high stakes product design work, including early stage discovery phases, with examples of contributions on successful products.
• World-class craftsmanship –creating high quality design work is second nature, and something you do very quickly. Rapid, high fidelity, prototyping is a given for you.
• 2+ years of experience in people management, mentoring or coaching.

This role is a hybrid working role and can be based in our offices located across Stockholm, Amsterdam, London, Łódź, Barcelona or Atlanta - 3 days in the office per week, 2 from home.
