Senior Digital Product Designer - Contract (Ecommerce Squad)
Wonderbly, United Kingdom
Job Description
4 days per week, hybrid central London location with approximately 2 days per week in studio. Expected 3 months, day rate 400-500 based on experience.
We're looking for a senior digital product designer with experience working across (brilliant!) ecommerce and direct to consumer brands, collaborating across product, marketing and art direction. In this role, you would help support ecommerce customer experiences on wonderbly.com, working closely within our Ecommerce product squad.
You would support a major project (currently in progress) that focuses on the 'upper funnel' portion of the experience, where we help customers discover our brand and products and choose the right books for their needs. This work spans some of our most critical pages across the site from homepage to range page to product page.
This means we're ideally looking for someone with experience working at the intersection of user experience and user interface design, and content design and UX writing.
Day to day you'll be collaborating with small multi-disciplinary teams as the design lead with a peer product lead and tech lead working to better understand users, ship new features and tests and help the business achieve key goals linked to the upper funnel portion of the journey. You'll take your project briefs from the squad's Product Lead but you'll report to our Creative Director on design and content quality questions.
