Senior UX/UI Designer

Senior UX/UI designer –  join Kotipizza to build the digital restaurant experience! 

About the role

We are looking for an experienced designer to join our team of digital professionals. You will be working on the kotipizza.fi online restaurant and sales channel, and your responsibility is to improve the usability and performance of our core digital business.

The main touchpoints will be both on the consumer side with kotipizza.fi and on the restaurant side with our order and delivery applications. We will build a market leading digital platform for our brands to succeed, operate and grow. We aim to become the benchmark in our Fast Casual and Out of Home categories internationally.

Kotipizza as a workplace

When working in Kotipizza, you will be surrounded by passionate, yet supportive and caring colleagues, who want to succeed together with you. We want to be forerunners and that's why we offer our people possibilities to open-mindedly experiment with new things and to grow their skills forward. Also, sustainability and transparency are important for us, so if you value these qualities, we might be the right choice for you.

Our office is located in Kalasatama, Helsinki.  

In this role, you will

• Carry out research to understand our customers better 
• Interview users to find real-world use cases, both typical and rare
• Design smooth customer flows and user interfaces that make sense
• Create prototypes and communicate the value of your designs internally
• Validate the designs by testing with mock-ups and prototypes
• Consider the overall service architecture – understand what consequences the changes might have to other parts of the customer journey
• Work together with developers to ensure the right design goes live
• Continuously improve the service – work with analytics and user feedback

You also need to be great at communicating visually: your suggestions and prototypes should be understandable even to our top management. 

To be successful in this role you must have 

• A solid track record of doing UX work and creating UI designs. You don’t need to master all aspects of a design process, but you must be aware of them and know what you’re great at
• Readiness for facilitating workshops and user interviews
• Previous experience of working with developers – as a member of a multidisciplinary team
• Skills to use the proper tooling (Sketch, Figma, Invision or similar) to visualise your ideas with sketches, layouts, prototypes and finalised design elements
• Understanding of how digital customer channels, ecommerce services or webshops work – as a business and in terms of UX
• Personal drive and motivation to get things done
• We consider fluent Finnish a strong asset for all candidates, because the majority of our customers speak Finnish and UI copywriting needs to be done in Finnish

We expect a lot, but give even more!
