Senior Product Designer - Retailer 1

Will you join this team?

How do you make our customers happy?

At bol, over 47,000 commercial partners, from brands and resellers to agencies and suppliers, bring more than 35 million products to life for millions of customers. As part of Retailer 1, Retailer 1 is where bol itself sells products. You’ll design B2B tools, services, and experiences that help 1,000+ suppliers thrive and scale, while meeting the needs of 13.7 million customers.

The biggest challenge

Retailer 1 operates at the intersection of consumer trust and supplier growth. Behind the scenes, a complex software product connects assortment, pricing, compliance, and logistics at scale. Suppliers and internal teams have different goals and workflows but rely on the same core systems.

Your challenge is to turn this complexity into reliable, scalable journeys. You’ll connect fragmented tools and processes, design for both hands-on users and API-driven automation, and align commercial, logistical, and operational needs, while keeping the end customer promise central.

You’ll take an end-to-end view of the journey: mapping touchpoints across suppliers, internal teams, and systems; identifying friction; and focusing on the areas where design can have the biggest impact. Your work will drive revenue, improve supplier satisfaction, and strengthen bol’s customer proposition and long-term growth.

What you’ll do as a Senior Product Designer

You’ll report to the Product Design Manager as senior individual contributor and join a product group in Retailer 1 area, working closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Data teams, and fellow Product Designers.

As a Senior Product Designer, you bring sharp systems thinking and a strong discovery focus. You’ll lead research to uncover supplier and internal users needs and translate insights into scalable design solutions that work across diverse user segments. You’ll shape product OKRs alongside your Product Manager, challenging assumptions and advocating for solving the right problems in the most feasible way. With an entrepreneurial mindset, you’ll prototype rapidly, test with real partners, and iterate at speed, balancing craft with velocity to deliver measurable business results.

The different topics cut across multiple teams and technical systems. You’ll orchestrate alignment across stakeholders, facilitate trade-offs, and navigate organizational complexity while keeping partner value at the center. You understand the full ecosystem: how experiences translate from the supplier portal to API integrations and you design with this systems view. You’ll also actively contribute to our Design Community, elevating craft standards and championing user-centered thinking across the organization.
