Digital Product Designer / Kesko
We are excited to announce an opportunity for a Digital Product Designer to join our team at Kesko’s home and speciality goods online store. As a Digital Product Designer, you will play a crucial role in designing and shaping our upcoming K-Citymarket web store and driving its success. This role is great for someone who is looking for a launchpad for the next stage in their career: we are seeking a talented and driven mid-level designer who wants to grow and learn in this role.
In this role, you are expected to:
- Design functional and seamless user experiences for K-Citymarket online store, from concept to delivery
- Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders, such as product and marketing teams, to align designs with business objectives
- Keep yourself up-to-date with the latest design trends, tools, and technologies, especially related to e-commerce
- Utilise customer research, data, and insights to inform your design decisions and drive improvements
- Align the designs with other digital channels and contribute to the development of our design system
- Be part of shaping the product vision and roadmap
Your skills and background:
- Demonstrated expertise in designing digital products, preferably e-commerce related
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, and the ability to work effectively with internal stakeholders
- User-centric approach and a genuine passion for understanding user needs
- Ability to leverage customer research, data, and insights to inform design decisions
- You are proficient in Figma, which is our primary design tool
- Ability to work with UIs and support material that’s in Finnish (the organisation works in Finnish, the team documentation is mainly in English)
- Openness to feedback and eagerness to learn and grow rapidly
- We are more interested in your skills than your education or years of working experience. However, design-related degree and 3-5 years of experience with digital products can help you demonstrate that you have the skills for this role.
We offer:
- Opportunity to work with multichannel e-commerce, expanding your skills and expertise
- Play a vital role in contributing to the development of our new webstore and driving its future direction
- Opportunity to work with a large amount of data and insights
- Supportive and collaborative work environment. You will work closely with a design lead and a dedicated product team
- Rapid professional growth and the opportunity to take on new responsibilities as you progress in your career
And some additional benefits
- We offer flexible remote work (though we expect that succeeding in this role will require you to work on-site at least 2-3 days a week.) For office days, we have modern office with several accommodations, e.g., collaboration and break areas throughout the office, gym, health care services, restaurant and cafeteria… along good connections in Kalastama, Helsinki.
- We have extensive employee benefits unique to the K group. These include, among others: Culture & sport benefit (ePassi), shopping benefits that apply in K-Group stores and staff shops (Citymarket, K Supermarket & K Market, K-Rauta, Intersport, Budgetsport), own occupational health care services and leisure time accident insurance.
This is a great time to join our growing design team if you want to advance in your career. At Kesko, we value designers who are passionate about creating user-centered digital products in close collaboration with our customers and internal stakeholders.
