WE HELP COMPANIES GET COMPENSATION RIGHT.

What we get paid at work has a massive impact on our lives, and it’s one of the biggest factors in hiring and retaining talent - and yet so many companies struggle to get it right. They simply have no choice but to rely on poor data and unsophisticated tools for their pay decisions. That’s why we created Ravio.
We help many of the world’s most innovative and ambitious companies build stronger teams and reach their goals through better compensation. Our real-time data platform brings compensation into the modern age with clarity and transparency.
Ravio is growing fast, which means you can too. We’ve established ourselves as the European leader in our space serving more than 1,400 clients, and now have our sights set on becoming the global go to place for compensation data and tools for managing compensation.
Joining a startup and scaling it into a global product is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences a career can offer. If that sounds exciting to you, you’re in the right place.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for a talented, hands-on team player to lead our Product Design team. You’ll be responsible for designing the full Ravio product working closely with our founders, designers, product managers, engineers, commercial teams and customers.

As the Design Lead at Ravio, you will own the end-to-end product design lifecycle, from research and discovery to design and development. You’ll be expected to

• Lead the Product Design function within the company
• Work alongside our product designers in designing all aspects of the Ravio application
• Oversee, mentor, and line manage two designers, with the opportunity to expand into more management if you would like as the team grows
• Develop a close understanding of and empathy with our users, and deep domain knowledge of the compensation space
• Manage product design processes and ways of working, collaborating with Product on roadmaps and backlogs
• Evolve our design capabilities including our tooling stack and extensible design system
• Partner with engineers, product managers and the broader team to make quick, collaborative decisions
• Conduct user research, usability testing of wireframes and prototypes, and design analysis to inform and iterate on design decisions
• Foster design team culture, making it a positive, inclusive, accountable and fun environment where people enjoy doing their best work

You’ll be reporting directly to Raymond (co-founder and CPTO).

DESIGN AT RAVIO IN 2025

Put simply - the stage of our company and this role are a great fit for someone who primarily wants to keep getting their hands dirty as a designer, and also wants the responsibility of being a leader within the company and line manager of a small design team.
At Ravio we care about design a whole lot more than your average software company. And we put our money where our mouth is - right from when we founded Ravio we’ve had a high ratio of designers to engineers and product managers.
Hiring a Principal Designer is a continuation of our focus and investment in design. You’ll be our most senior designer, mentor our other designers, and will join our founders in recruiting for the team in the future. Your design work will be a mixture of creating totally new product areas from scratch, and taking our existing modules to new levels.
We’re passionate about creating the best-looking and easiest to use product in our category. We’re already considered by many to be the best-designed product in our space, but we know (and can’t help but see!) there’s a whole lot more we can do. We’re looking for you to lead that.
