We are looking for an experienced UX/UI designer who is fluent in French and English and has a keen eye for detail. The ideal candidate will be capable of playing a defining role in small design teams. Through a co-creative, design-thinking approach, you ensure new products and features are adopted.

  • Mentor and coach less experienced designers
  • Lead user research and co-creation activities
  • Continuously improve our design approach and deepen our UX design methodology and capabilities
  • Lead sales effort by defining the approach and budget based on the client’s needs, and otherwise contributing to proposals

Competencies:

These are the mindsets and competencies we are looking for:

  • You are proficient in applying a human-centred methodology to the design of digital products, involving a variety of stakeholders such as users, analysts, product owners, developers and management.
  • You have a wide-ranging interest in the application of new information technologies to business-to-business domains.
  • You can define a clear design direction for a project team.
  • You value individual perspectives and can create a safe environment for learning.
  • You actively look for new developments and practices in the field of UX/UI and have an opinion on good UX/UI design.
  • You enjoy making sense of complex information, business processes, interaction flows and product ecosystems, and can find creative solutions for complex challenges.
  • You can clearly articulate your design process, approach and impact in verbal and visual presentations.
  • You can produce state-of-the-art design deliverables, such as components, libraries, and prototypes.
  • You understand front-end coding frameworks and understand how they impact your design.
  • You can gather user insights through qualitative and quantitative research methods and consider user feedback when designing.
  • You can communicate and discuss concepts through sketches, wireframes, flows and mock-ups.
  • You have experience in teaching, coaching, or mentoring a team.
  • You are proficient with various design applications (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite, including Figma) and Microsoft 365.
  • You have full professional proficiency in French and English, both written and spoken.
  • Knowledge of Dutch adds a lot of value. Many of our clients operate in one of these languages.
