The LAB is responsible for developing new products for getAbstract’s coroporate+ offering. With the “Actionables” we launched a product with high strategic impact for getAbstract. We’re just about starting the discovery process for the next product. The person joining the team will be reporting to the CPO getAbstract corporate+. The Product Designer will have the opportunity to bring their knowledge to a recently launched product and to dedicate most of their focus to discovering a new product in a well-defined space.
Performance Objectives
Performance Objectives
-
Lead the discovery process from a product design perspective: As a full partner of the product manager, collaborate in the product discovery team with engineers, knowledge providers, product marketing, etc. from discovery to delivery. You are deeply oriented around actual customers and the value our products bring to them. You care about delivering products that are valuable (users will choose to use it), usable (users can figure out how to use it), feasible (our engineers can build it), and business viable (the product works for various aspects of getAbstract’s business).
-
Own the User Experience & User Interface Design of corporate+ products: In close collaboration with getAbstract’s Core Product Team, you develop and own the customer journey map for each corporate+ product so that the product team can build on it to identify underlying services needed. You interact with the product and with getAbstract as a whole.
-
Own the design work stream for testing ideas: You are comfortable with prototyping tools such as Figma, and you are able to apply the correct one for the task at hand – be it for both, communicating and testing ideas internally and externally. Validate and refine ideas as well as collect new insights. Share your insights with the team so that informed decisions can be taken together.
- Embody getAbstract’s performance-driven product culture: Demonstrate a growth mindset, make decisions based on data, and work with a high degree of ownership, autonomy, and responsibility. You thrive in an environment that is transitioning into a product organization.
