Sitting within our Experience & Engineering team, you’ll be the bridge between stunning brand storytelling and ruthless conversion optimization. This role is about setting the standard for mobile-first customer journeys, guiding design direction without needing day-to-day oversight, and commanding the room when presenting to senior client stakeholders.

• Translate complex brand strategies into seamless digital campaign journeys spanning paid media, CRM, landing pages, PLPs, and PDPs.  
• Balance brand objectives with conversion-focused UX principles, identifying funnel friction points and proposing fast, pragmatic solutions.  
• Substantiate design choices with clear annotations, interaction models, and suggestions for animation.  
• Create prototypes to validate concepts and iterate intelligently on component-based design systems.  
• Brief, mentor, and manage junior designers to ensure flawless project delivery.

• Collaborate fluidly across disciplines, partnering closely with visual designers and engineering teams to ship exceptional products.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Senior-level UX design experience rooted deeply in e-commerce and full-funnel digital campaigns.  
• A proven track record of designing end-to-end digital journeys across paid media, CRM, and major commerce touchpoints (PLPs, PDPs). 
• Strong understanding of how brand storytelling translates into digital setups that drive both user engagement and commercial performance. 
• Deep knowledge of e-commerce best practices, conversion rate optimization (CRO), and user psychology. 
• Familiarity with diverse digital campaign assets (talent/collabs, lifestyle, category, product) and how they function across the awareness-to-conversion funnel. 
• Advanced proficiency working within, and intelligently iterating on, complex component-based design systems. 
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills—you talk business metrics just as well as user flows. 
• A pragmatic, fast-moving mindset: you know exactly when to innovate and when to execute efficiently to meet deadlines.

WE OFFER

• A flexible, hybrid working policy (2-3 days from the office, depending on location) and the opportunity to work from abroad for 13 weeks a year. 
• 24 vacation days per year and the possibility to buy an unlimited number of extra vacation days.
