Whereabouts: Within CET +/- 9 hours and have some restrictions on hiring engineering Interviews: Around 4 hours over a few weeks, including some practical work Salary: Starting at £70,000 | $100,000 for USA-based candidates Reporting to: Ingrid Ødegaard, our CPTO Ask us anything: careers@whereby.com “Good design is obvious. Great design is transparent.” – designer Joe Sparano Your mission at Whereby* To build a design function that is unified under one common set of objectives, and aligned with our product roadmap, vision and culture. *This is the mission that moves you and your team through our strategic roadmap, and should be your focus for up to a year or two. What is Whereby all about Freedom to work from anywhere: our mission with Whereby is to give people freedom to live and work where they thrive. Our global HQ is in Oslo, Norway, but our users (and team) are worldwide – having been used in nearly every country in the world by millions of folk. By making it possible to collaborate as well over video as you can in real life, we want to give you the choice to work from where your life happens. To allow you to be in a place where you can think and focus, but also allow a seamless and instant connection with others when you need to. For our 80 team members, and also for our customers, we know that the ability to decouple location from work can be life-changing. They can afford the house they want, can spend less time commuting, be closer to nature, and their children get to grow up seeing their grandparents every day. Everyone on our team enjoys the enormous benefits that a flexible work policy brings, and we truly believe the future of work will gravitate towards our vision of the future. Product at Whereby We strongly believe in the superpowers of an empowered, passionate and cross-functional product team. We are a product-led business who strive to evolve our product alongside users, exceed their expectations and delight them. We try to ensure both that we are building the right thing and building the thing right. We analyse data, talk to users, prototype and iterate. We focus on discovering and solving user problems, not just building and shipping features. As a member of our product team you’ll take on a key role in this process and see your work be used by millions of users worldwide. What we’re looking for in our Head of Product Design Our Product Design team is a crucial and talented team at Whereby. Like many of our teams (until recently) design has been operating without a function-specific head of department. The team has expressed a desire (and we feel the need as a business) to ensure design is advocated for at the leadership level, and also that the function is highly effective and admired. For this reason we’re looking for someone who has experience advocating for, while building, a growing function of highly-qualified designers. We believe in the power of simple, beautiful product design, and know achieving our aims requires a head of the function who understands the painstakingly difficult task of making a product experience feel simple and effortless. We believe in everyone We fundamentally believe talent is distributed to all of us in equal measure. We open our doors (physical or url) to everyone and we see our differences as a strength; it’s this philosophy that drives us towards our mission. This means we see your unique history as having a value money cannot buy; we believe in the strength of every intersection of race, religion or belief, ethnic origin, different physical ability, family structure, socio-economics, age, nationality or citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity.

¿Porqué este sitio?

Hola, me llamo Jose, soy diseñador de UX/UI y consultor de transformación digital.

Soy padre de un bebé desde hace más de un año. Llevo meses buscando trabajo. Necesito un trabajo en que me permita conciliar y trabajar desde casa.

Buscando ofertas me he dado cuenta de lo complejo que es seguir varios portales, actualizar tu CV, etc. También de la cantidad de sitios de ofertas que se aprovechan de la situación y quieren cobrar por postularte a una oferta o hablar con un posible empleador.

Por eso decidí hacer un sitio web de ofertas solo de teletrabajos, seleccionados por mi mismo, actualizados frecuentemente, y que sea fácil de usar y donde sea fácil encontrar un buen trabajo en remoto.

¿Tienes algún sitio que quieres qué añada?¿Tienes algún comentario sobre esta página?¿Quieres compartir tu experiencia personal buscando trabajo en remoto o teletrabajando? Escríbeme una linea con tus comentarios y te prometo responder.

Gracias a todos, y buena suerte con el nuevo trabajo!
JB
