Description

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR? At Journi, a creative tech company and Austria's most innovative start-up of 2024, we're on a mission to become the go-to place and easiest solution to relive your memories as stories. We're exploring new ways to help people capture, collect, and relive what matters most in their lives. Be part of a team of highly motivated and like-minded individuals who you can learn from and who are excited to learn from you too! As a Senior Product Designer, you're part of two teams. In our Innovation squad, you'll partner with Product Management (PM) and Engineering to explore new product concepts and business opportunities. You'll work in a zero-to-one environment where products don't have product-market fit (PMF) yet. Your craft and ability to validate concepts will help us find ideas worth building and accelerate their path to PMF. You'll also join our Experience Design team. There, you'll work with other designers, researchers, and analysts to shape our practice. If you thrive in ambiguity and get excited about discovering what will truly resonate with users, we'd love to hear from you! ➤WHAT YOU'LL DO Design and validate zero-to-one concepts. Move from rough ideas to testable prototypes that increase confidence and reduce risk. Drive the visual identity for concepts that feel like Journi or explore new directions. Frame problems with PM and Engineering. Collaborate to balance user needs, business opportunities, and technical constraints before designing solutions. Run lean research to learn fast. Choose the right methods to validate assumptions quickly. Share insights that move the team forward. Thrive in ambiguity and change. Pivot when you learn something new. Embrace the fast-paced, iterative nature of finding PMF. Drive user-centered thinking. Keep teams focused on solving real customer problems in meetings and workshops. ➤WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR 5+ years designing mobile apps and websites. Show us a portfolio with strong craft and successful zero-to-one work in pre-PMF consumer-facing environments. Strong design fundamentals. You're skilled at interaction design, visual design, and prototyping. Your work looks polished and intentional, even when it's exploratory. Proven experience validating early-stage concepts. You've successfully used research and experimentation to accelerate products toward PMF. You pick methods based on what you need to learn, not what you already know. Solid product sense. You think beyond pixels and balance user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility. Strong Communication & Presentation Skills. You communicate with clarity and confidence. Your excellent English helps you present design work, lead workshops, and explain your decisions. You mentor through your work. You share context behind decisions and involve others in your process. You make your thinking visible so the team learns and grows. You are allowed to work in Austria and are willing to move to (or are already in) Vienna.
