Why this job is cut out for you

  • Diversity and variation! Work with other creatives and independently, and work with anyone from our marketing teams to our hardcore developers.
  • See your designs impact our ˜400.000 users and help make their homes more energy efficient and comfortable.
  • Work on the cheerful and creative designs in our app and display

Your challenge

You will be working in one of our value streams, a big team (± 20) that consists of people with a variety of expertise from data science, to front-end developers. Together you have the ability and responsibility to deliver value to our stakeholders and our end-users. Next to that you are also part of a Design Guild with 2 other UX Designers, 2 UX Researchers, 2 Visual Designers and a UX Copywriter. As a Guild you guard the user experience and consistency of our product and services.

  • Guide the development team and help your colleagues and (external) stakeholders to become more user centered by inspiring them about UX. The team is very openminded and always up for a good lesson. We also give the opportunity to share knowledge and learn new things during our company wide lunch & learn sessions where every other week a colleague presents about a new topic. 
  • Assist the value stream lead in determining priorities. You will get great freedom and thus great responsibility. You help create the right priorities by deciding on user impact, business needs or circumstances.
  • Create services that engage, add value and sell. Our Toon products have a large user base and we are expanding our ecosystem to provide more services and reach more users, also internationally!
  • Design screens and experiences, obviously, but the real challenge is to create scalable experiences to protect consistency and efficiently expand our ecosystem. 
  • Translate business needs to user centered solutions and translate user needs into business opportunities. We are a B2B2C type of organization, therefore it will sometimes be quite challenging to satisfy the needs of all parties.
  • Conduct your own research as well as assist our UX researchers.
  • Improve our products based on user feedback.
  • Create prototypes, test and validate ideas.
  • Facilitate design sprints / sessions with stakeholders.

What we are looking for

  • You are a senior UX Designer with at least 5 years of working experience.
  • You have affinity with Visual Design / UX copy and UX research.
  • You cooperate well with developers but are also perfectly able to work independently.
  • Experience with scrum / agile way of working.
  • Experience with backlog-tools such as JIRA & Confluence.
  • Experience with development teams. We do not expect you to code, but we want you to understand what’s possible, as well as what the technical impact of certain design decisions may be. Front-end skills are always appreciated!
  • You use Sketch for designing, have some experience with InVision/ Principle and Zeplin.
  • You are fluent in English, both spoken and written. Dutch is a plus.
  • This position is for EAA citizens or for non-EU citizens with a valid work permit in the Netherlands/ EU
