We’re now searching for a fantastic Product Design Manager in Helsinki to lead and inspire our close-knit team of super-talented senior product designers!
You’ll be a crucial part of shaping the future of our product, making sure we create amazing user experiences that are both beautiful and a joy to use. We need someone who leads with empathy, fosters creativity, and creates an environment where designers can truly thrive. More than anything, we’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about their team and knows how to help them grow.

• Be hands-on (when it counts): While your main focus will be on leading and empowering the team, you’re not afraid to jump in and offer guidance, feedback, or even a little hands-on design work when the moment calls for it.
• Build bridges: Collaborate with teams across the company, like product management, engineering, marketing, and customer support.
• Stay curious: Keep up with the latest design trends and technologies, and always be on the lookout for new ways to innovate.
