Your role

As we’re continuing our journey towards becoming the best bite-sized audio platform in the world, we are building a strong design team. We know the value of great user experiences and amazing design, and want to invest further into this area to keep our products top of the line. This is where you enter the picture! We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer. If you have a burning passion for design, a great track record, and you love collaborating with talented people with experience from Meta, Google, Spotify etc., then you’ll fit right in.

Your daily life will consist of shaping our listeners’ and creators’ experiences across our services, from validating hypotheses and first concepts to final shipped features. You’ll be working closely with our Design,- UX research-, product-, and development teams on a daily basis. Furthermore, you’ll regularly meet with teams from other departments so you always have a holistic overview of the business goals and user behaviour, across the funnels and channels.

You will help bring ideas from concept to release while advocating for clean and understandable solutions along the whole journey. You are an effective diplomat with strong communication and organisational skills. You are patient, understanding, ego-free, and eager to give and receive constructive feedback.

Your main responsibilities in this role:

• Innovate and design our podcast & audiobook experience across our products.

About you

You are a creative and positive go-getter, with relevant experience, and excellent analytical and communication skills. You love product design and have extensive knowledge of mobile design on both iOS and Android.

You love working in startups and are comfortable with an ever-shifting environment, where directions and goals change. You're autonomous and great at taking the lead on projects, knowing that often it's better to create something small and powerful and get insights before we build the full rocket ship.

Last but not least you are open-minded, curious and are interested in the podcasts and audiobook space.

• Proven track record of self-direction, follow-through and successful delivery
• Great metric understanding and comfortable with quantitative/qualitative data.

Naturally, being passionate and knowledgeable about podcasts, audio content, media, and entertainment is a big plus!

• ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) for all employees, no matter where in the world you live.
• Learning and personal development opportunities to help you thrive and enrich your skills in a fast-paced creator economy.
• Up to six months of fully paid parental leave for all new parents - no matter how you identify or where in the world you live

You are welcome at Podimo for who you are, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or what stories you have playing in your headphones.

This is the hiring process

First things first: we ask you to submit your CV or provide a link to your LinkedIn profile. Sharing your motivation for the job is highly appreciated, but not expected. If we pick your application to continue to the interview stage, this is how we plan to run the interview process:

• A short phone conversation (with VP of Product Design, Christian Lomholt)
• Case interview with design exercise (with VP of Product Design, Christian Lomholt and colleague)
• Stakeholder interviews (with CPO, PM, and UX Researcher)

We might change it up to make sure it makes sense. Our main focus is to run an efficient and enjoyable interview process. We will conduct interviews on an ongoing basis and the preferred starting date is August or shortly thereafter.
