Design is at the core of Side’s DNA. Historically speaking, we hired our first designer before our first PM and she had a huge contribution in the way we do product! Today, we enter a scale-up phase where the growth of the Design team will be a strategic asset. In the coming months and years we plan to develop in order to offer the best work experience in France and beyond.
The Lead Product Designer’s mission will be to make sure that the design team crafts solutions that actually solve our users’ problems, keeping in mind the company’s objectives, tech constraints and product vision.

You will need to be able to zoom in on interactions & feature usability as well as zoom out on high-level product strategy. You will participate in building quarterly product roadmaps and OKRs and advocate for the user experience and design culture within the company.
