Lead Product Designer

Streetbees stands at the cutting edge of integrating technology into market research, setting industry standards with innovative approaches. Our global app based community spans across a multitude of markets and categories.

Our partnerships with leading names in FMCG, Gaming and Tech underscore our capability to deliver impactful insights across many sectors.

Our use of generative AI has propelled us into the forefront of agile market research. This partnership has been instrumental in the development and launch of SBX - our Insight Co-pilot. Powered by the latest advancements in LLM, SBX redefines how businesses gain access to and leverage consumer insights, offering a pioneering solution that is both dynamic and responsive to the fast-paced market demands.

Streetbees connects brands with real people on the ground via our AI driven, conversational app to gather real-time and in-the-moment insights from over 3 million users worldwide. We’re currently looking for a hugely ambitious Product Designer to join our team as we launch our exciting new ChatGPT-integrated product SBX.

This is a really exciting opportunity for a product designer who wants to be part of the team that is building and shaping the future of an industry.

We’re looking for someone who wants to own design problems from start to finish and ALWAYS puts the end user first. You’ll be happy working with a wide cross section of stakeholders from Product, Engineering to Marketing and Sales and even the CEO.

We’re quite a small team working with some very big names across industries including FMCG and Tech. You’ll be someone who’s comfortable working with the ambiguous in a fast-paced start-up environment with lots of opportunities to learn and grow.

You’ll join with a track record of backing up your design decisions with evidence from experiments and user research.

  • Defining the design vision for the whole platform
  • Designing for our B2C products on mobile and web and our B2B platforms
  • Building and maintaining brand and design guidelines to be used throughout the business

Requirements:

  • 7+ years experience in product design - with a portfolio biased to “how it works” problems rather than just “how it looks”. You have shipped products and systems, not just websites. You are a leader and will set a quality bar that will make Streetbees admired for product design.
  • Experience across B2B and B2C, across devices, and an appreciation of the different design challenges that each domain brings.
  • Experience of setting up “design to scale” - pattern libraries, design principles etc.
  • In both B2B and B2C, you are familiar with solving design problems that require increasing user engagement and the process to uncover sustainable use cases.
  • Desirable - experience in working on products that have a data visualisation component.
  • Necessary - an interest in data visualisation.
  • You know how to work effectively with engineers - and how to break down design choices to shippable atomic units. You have a toolkit to make this an effective partnership (Sketch, Figma etc.)
  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain the rationale behind design decisions
  • Strong self-starter - comfortable working in a fast-moving environment
