Senior Product Designer

Thanks for checking out our job posting for the role of Senior Product Designer at PerchPeek. You’ve already taken a tiny step towards being a part of our team - huzzah! This is a huge, huge role for us as we scale up & so if you’re searching for a position that will bring out the very, very best in you, read on!
We know that taking your next career step is as exciting as it can be scary. So, with that in mind, we’ve tried to keep our description simple and bullt free to help you decide if PerchPeek and this role are a good match for you. We’ve tried to avoid using too many clichés but sometimes they sum it up nicely, so you’ll just have to wince and forgive us.
Who are PerchPeek?*

Have you ever relocated before? Did you manage to do it without swearing or rolling your eyes at some point in the process? Didn’t think so… That’s because no matter where in the world you go it’s a crazy, chaotic process that’s always time intensive and stressful. PerchPeek was conceived to change that.

We’re at the forefront of changes to the workplace as knowledge workers have greater freedom to relocate than ever before. Over the past 12 months we’ve grown incredibly quickly, launching in 20+ countries, growing from six to forty plus people and raising our Seed & Series A round from top European & US funds.

PerchPeek’s aim is to guide people through every stage of their relocation. Our product is a delightful combination of content, tech, operations & partnerships which work together to make moving simpler, faster, more secure and even enjoyable. We start with helping customers decide where to live and only finish when they are settled into their new home and community.

Here’s a more detailed overview of this role:
Reporting directly into our founder & Chief Experience Officer, you’ll be responsible for delivering elegant, user-centric experiences, as well as helping foster a great design culture within PerchPeek. More specifically, you’ll be doing the following:
Delivering pixel-perfect designs - own the end-to-end user journey and all aspects of design execution from ideation, to prototyping, to user testing, to final production.
Design culture - relentlessly building a great design culture at PerchPeek; we want design to be at the forefront of every process. You’ll be ensuring this happens.
Iteration on the fundamentals - improving design and accessibility guidelines to ensure our product grows scalably.
Design strategy - using design to drive PerchPeek forward. We’re a fast-growing company, and you’ll be able to help decide how design can best impact PerchPeek’s North Star metrics.

Ultimately, these duties point to one thing - building a beautiful, kick-ass product in an antiquated industry.

You should join us if:
Our core values align to your own values. These really matter to us, so we need them to matter to you. Before you consider applying, please take the time to think whether you’re ready to commit to each of them every day. You can check them out here. In terms of what we’ll be looking for specifically:
Think big, creativity and ambition - as the first Senior Designer joining the pandemonium, you’ll be playing a huge role in driving our product and department forward. We’re looking for someone who wants the opportunity to make an impact.
Performance culture - with opportunity comes responsibility. We’re looking for someone to drive excellence in everything they do.
Empathy - we have a hugely diverse team (let alone customer base) at PerchPeek across over a dozen countries. Being able to put yourself in others’ shoes & understand different points of view is critical in this role.

Preferred experience:
5+ years experience as a Product Designer. Given the responsibilities, this role would likely suit a Senior Product Designer best, although mid-level candidates are welcome to apply.

Previous experience in design-led cultures - Whilst we are sector-agnostic in terms of your experience, we’d expect you to have worked at companies that prioritise great design.
Some management experience - whilst you wouldn’t initially have direct reports, we anticipate this team growing rapidly.
