About Us

The Design team, part of the Product org at Back Market, is a distributed team of 24 designers with offices in New York, Europe, and Tokyo. Our diversity fuels our approach and passion to build interfaces with the user as our focus. We zoom out to see the bigger picture and also sweat the details, shaping the end-to-end experience for both customers and professional refurbishers. As a certified BCorp, we’re committed to making a real impact - already preventing over 1 million tons of carbon emissions in our quest for tech circularity.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Design Manager dedicated to optimizing Back Market’s core purchase experience - from searching to checkout and beyond. This is a strategically important role for us, so we want someone who will own, evolve, and elevate the design strategy for our purchase journey, someone that will drive us to greater things in the very heart of our marketplace business model.

You’ll directly lead and grow a team of 4 designers (3 product designers and 1 content designer).

You’ll coach, mentor, and enable them to deliver high-quality work across product search, comparison, configuration, cart, and checkout.

You’ll partner with a cross-functional team and stakeholders to co-own the vision and translate insights into actionable strategies.

You’ll spend significant time both on people development and directly contributing to design vision and delivery on critical projects. You’ll also join our Design leadership team, collaborating with fellow managers and craft leads to raise the bar for the entire organization.
