Bakken & Bæck are hiring a
Senior Product Designer
We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our team, either remotely (CET-/+2) or from one of our offices. The role is a 12-month temporary position, with the possibility of permanent extension.
About Us
Bakken & Bæck is a design and technology studio that helps companies break new ground. Building digital products, brands and businesses, we help ambitious companies identify, explore and respond to new opportunities. As one team working out of Oslo, Amsterdam, Bonn, Barcelona, and London, we have all the skill-sets needed to help businesses adapt to an increasingly complex world.
We believe the best teams are driven by people with small egos and huge hearts. We strongly believe in flexibility, care deeply about craft, and are at our best working closely together. We want BB to be a place where you can try out new things with the risk of failing, where you can take ownership over your own work, and where there’s a low barrier for coming up with ideas — no matter your job title or discipline.
About the role
As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll work across all stages of the product journey - from exploration to launch - translating complex ideas into clear, intuitive experiences.
You bring structure to ambiguity and adapt easily to new challenges. Working closely with other disciplines, you bring a high level of craft and direction to the work, connecting design decisions to the broader product vision.
At BB, you’ll be part of ambitious projects that explore how technology and design come together in new ways.
What you’ll do
- Bring excellent craft and strategic thinking to end-to-end product design work - from research and discovery, through prototyping, UI + system design, launch and iteration
- Translate complex technologies, audience insights and stakeholder ambitions into elegant, digital experiences - combining strong design craft with a clear sense of purpose
- Bring structure and focus to ambiguous challenges - defining problems, shaping approaches and creating clarity
- Collaborate closely with Brand, Engineering and PM teams to move ideas from concept to reality
- Work closely with ambitious clients pushing the limits of their fields - from early-stage startups to industry leaders
Who we’re looking for
- 5+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio that shows depth of craft and experience delivering high-quality, complex products
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity - asking the right questions, reframing challenges and creating clarity for the team
- Brings a high standard of design execution across visual, interaction and system design
- Connects design decisions to strategy - balancing user needs, business goals and technical possibilities
- Communicates clearly and proactively, aligning teams and clients around a shared direction
- Enjoys working across disciplines and brings a collaborative mindset to shared challenges
- Confident facilitating discussions, workshops and presentations with clients and peers
- Genuine curiosity for new tools, emerging technologies and the evolving contexts in which they exist
What you can look forward to
- Independence: BB is an independently-owned studio. We have the freedom to orient towards the projects we believe in, create a culture that is driven by people with small egos and huge hearts, and invest in long-term relationships with partners whose ambitions match our own.
- Autonomy: Our culture is built on autonomy, responsibility and mutual trust. Instead of being prescribed a way to do things, we have the freedom to explore and develop our own methods and approaches, and to learn by doing.
- Flexibility: We all have different needs when it comes to how we work. We are flexible on working hours, open to workations, and can provide opportunities to relocate to one of our other offices, as long as it doesn't hinder our projects and our team’s progress.
- Continuous Learning: We want to invest in your growth. You will receive an annual allowance to invest in a course, class or conference — whatever you need to stay inspired and learn new things.
- Doing things together: Collaboration lies at the core of our culture. Whether through trips or team dinners, we prioritise bonding experiences across offices when we can, fostering camaraderie and creativity.
- Our offices: We have invested in creating welcoming spaces that provide our teams with what they need. Beyond the day-to-day, we use our offices to host team events, talks and parties.
