Digital Product Designer

Want to design digital services that people love to use? Be part of strategic decision-making and actively promote the interests of end users? Nodding? Good, we have something for you, fellow designer!

But first, a quick word about Qvik : we are elbow-deep in the consultancy business, but above all in the people business. We create digital solutions for millions of end users every day by doing design, development and consultation with our clients. And not just any clients, but the most desirable ones in the consumer market – such as Suunto, Säästöpankki, Terveystalo, and Sanoma, just to name a few.

Our international community consists of 100+ designers, developers, and consultants based in Helsinki and Stockholm. We’ve been rocking the industry for 14 years. Rather than following the typical top-down corporate model, we have cultivated an inclusive work environment that empowers each individual to play a role in shaping our collective approach.

What does a designer’s days look like at Qvik?

We have been a design-oriented consultancy company since the early days, with a mission to build the best consumer experiences and successful business regardless of device.

No two work days at Qvik are the same – and that’s the beauty of it! This variety is created by customers’ different circumstances and goals. Sometimes we help them by focusing on creating and validating early concept ideas, at other times it is our responsibility to improve the user experience and profitability of services that have been in operation for years.

Your days are usually spent on a wide range of customer work, but sometimes you can also focus on things like mentoring other designers or assisting in sales and marketing.

Are you the one, a new Qvikie?

As a product designer, you can focus solely on drafting prototypes or creating visuals for customers, but you don’t have to. We value individuals and their strengths, and that’s why we want to give you tools to take your career in a direction that interests you and supports Qvik’s strategy. We hope you have a natural curiosity for personal development, too, whether in UX, UI, service design or something else in the design field. Besides being interested in learning new things, our designers have the courage to deal with the customer’s operational problems and the ability to incorporate the smartest methods into their work.

Previous experience in consultancy and consumer product development will help you move forward faster. We would like to see some examples from your portfolio of UX/UI-related projects as well as your work and/or service design duties at least for the past 7+ years. Currently, we are searching for pros who are comfortable working in Finnish alongside English.

The people you work with will be from different backgrounds and have different strengths. This means that we cherish a culture of open-mindedness, equality and empathy toward all people. At the moment, we are reinventing our DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) practices on the company level to make Qvik the best place to work for everyone – but there’s always more work to be done, and we hope that you want to be a part of it.

Our offer

We want to care more. We are focusing on creating an even more inspiring and safe culture, learning by doing, deepening our professionalism, and building an even stronger community.

The salary for this position will be somewhere between €4700-6000/month + bonuses, depending on your skills and experience, and you will have the possibility to become a Qvik shareholder.

Our standard benefits package is also pretty nice : lunch, commuter, culture and sports benefits, and a bike benefit. And obviously, the work tools of your choice. We also offer occupational health care with extra health insurance, travel and accident insurance, a remote office from January to March (in 2023, Mauritius & the Canary Islands) and many company-supported sports and hobby opportunities with other Qvikies.

Supporting the Qvikies’ health and work-life balance is essential for us. We offer a sick-child care service for smoother sailing over the flu season, as well as personal support for life challenges via the Auntie service. And don’t forget the community glue, aka parties – we are pretty good at setting up some jams, too :)

In addition, we offer our low-hierarchy culture; flexible working hours; opportunities to try, fail and succeed; as well as a chance for you to concentrate on your actual work. Because that’s what you are coming here to do, right?

OK, what next?
