With 434M€ raised already, we are sabotaging ‘new’ by connecting highly selected certified professionals to consumers who are looking for a more affordable, reliable, and ecological alternative to purchasing brand new products.

Leading the way in a shift towards a circular economy, freeing the planet from electronic waste, and building a global leading tech company are three solid reasons to wake up every morning. Taking part in BackMarket’s adventure means committing to an ambitious project with a strong social and environmental impact!

About Us and the Job:

We are responsible for the user experience on Back Market, whether that be our customers or merchants, and through designing, prototyping, testing, and iterating, we evolve it in collaboration with different (and extraordinary) people.

We do this because we want to make the world a better place. After all our goal is to offer more than just an alternative avenue to buy tech products, we want to do e-commerce differently. <3

You’ll collaborate with our Product Owners and UX Researchers to bring a plethora of concepts and product evolution, you’ll work on a daily basis with developers to validate the technical feasibility of your proposals and to ensure the fulfillment of your craft, and you’ll also be connected with other Back Markets functions (Marketing, Brand, Business etc.) to help articulate the needs and expectations of the customer and the business.

As a Mid-weight Product Designer, you’ll autonomously contribute to the design vision for key areas of our journey and create positive relationships with product squads, business stakeholders, and other designers to deliver impactful results.

You’re at the stage of your career where you bring great ideas to the table, you’re looking for challenging problems to solve for users, and you are considering your growth path in mentoring and coaching other designers.

• Being an equal partner with product owners and engineers to build, maintain, and evolve Back Market.
• Contribute to the product roadmap and advocate for the right approach, prioritization, and execution to ensure a best-in-class customer experience.
• Collaborating with user researchers to bring clarity to ambiguous problems with relevant customer insights, and consulting quantitative and qualitative data to inform your design decisions.
• Advocating for and facilitating design methods and tools to help your team deliver solutions that work for our customers and business.
• Ensuring clarity and comprehension in your ideas and solutions from conception to delivery through useful documentation and tidy working practices.
• Proactively advocating your impact and autonomously communicating progress, learnings, and goals.

Job Requirements:

• You have at least +3 years of experience working in a growing design & research team and can talk about how you have worked with stakeholders to deliver impact in dynamic environments.

• You deliver designs with a systematic approach.
• You think about interfaces not as static pixels but as dynamic experiences and can express yourself effortlessly with motion, flows and stories.
• You are inherently curious, you are idealistic but you challenge the status quo responsibility and can always find the middle ground.
• You are comfortable in communicating professionally in English as we are an international team.

Benefits:

• A meaningful job: through hard work, you will help avoid thousands of tons of electronic waste and fight against planned obsolescence. It counts!
