To succeed in our mission to create a great product experience we are building out a world class Product Design Team - that can lead us into the unknown future of the Mentimeter product, fueled by our desire to challenge tomorrow’s presentation and meeting experiences. We already have a great team in place and we want to continue to learn and evolve as we grow.

We are looking for a Senior Consultant within IT to join our growing team. It is the most senior role in the design team as an individual contributor (IC), which means you play a big part in crafting the product experience together with our partners in Product and Engineering.

The role

You are responsible for the product design and product designers of a product area. There are currently two product areas at Mentimeter - Core Product and Commercial, this position is within the Core Product area.

Core is the main product area focusing on the editor, presentation and voting experience. The area currently consists of five product teams, each with its own product manager, product designer and tech lead. You will be working on an area level together with all the teams, making sure we craft amazing experiences and products that users love and that align with our business goals. The Staff Product Designer reports to the Core Area Design Director and collaborates with the area leadership (directors of design, product & engineering) on a strategic level.

You will help us iterate and define a cohesive and user-friendly product experience, strengthening the brand identity in the product and push Mentimeter to meet the needs of our users while also pushing the boundaries of what a modern Audience Engagement Platform can be.

Succeeding in this role means a few things:

• Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, designers, researchers, product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to build coherent end-to-end experiences
• Contributing to the vision, strategy, objectives, and roadmap across the core area
• Driving a range of initiatives - from broad, loosely defined problems and concepts to specific, tactical feature work
• Bridge Product Design and Marketing Design by focusing on brand experience and holistic visual identity
• Driving a better understanding of our users and their needs in collaboration with UX Research & Analytics
• Lead design practice rituals and develop new standards to mature the craft and culture of the core design team.

The Mentimeter Product organization is in constant motion and evolves continuously as we grow. The same will be true for this role, so if you like to be part of shaping the future for your own role as well as the team and organization, this is a role for you.
