Senior Product Designer en España

Identify, frame, and shape a design roadmap aimed at enhancing our user experience and driving key business metrics. In this role, you will operate with a high degree of autonomy — you are not waiting for a roadmap to execute or a solution to be handed to you. You will bring a strong design and user perspective to product strategy: understand where the PM is headed, what the data shows, and what users need — then align, challenge, and shape the direction so that design thinking influences how problems are framed, not just how they're solved.

As a Senior Product Designer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping Wallapop's discovery journey — creating engaging, intuitive, and scalable user experiences. Your work will directly enhance how millions of users discover and connect with unique items. This role blends strategic vision with hands-on design execution: you will help define design strategies and frameworks while building seamless, multi-feature end-to-end flows with an elevated UI. By partnering with cross-functional teams, you will move Wallapop's product vision forward and ensure every initiative delivers measurable value for both our community and the business.

• Strategic partnership: Bring a strong point of view to product strategy. Challenge assumptions, ensure user and design thinking shapes how problems are framed, and actively seek input from analytics, data science, research, engineering, and content strategy to inform the direction. Contribute meaningfully to roadmap decisions and prioritization.

• Problem framing: Navigate ambiguity from the start. You'll often begin with an ill-defined problem space, scope and frame it, identify the right opportunity, and build a clear path forward before a solution even exists.

• Complex, multi-feature design: Lead end-to-end experiences spanning multiple features, and touchpoints. You’ll work with interconnected systems where a change in one area ripples across others, not isolated flows or single-feature work.

• End-to-end execution: Own the design process from early discovery through to high-fidelity UI and technical specs. Testing, iterating, and building stakeholder alignment along the way to ensure proposals are feasible, desirable, and ready to ship.

• Evidence-based design: Translate quantitative data and qualitative insights into elegant, actionable design solutions that solve real human problems and drive measurable impact.

• Elevated craft: Champion visual excellence and push the boundaries of our current UI,  delivering intentional, delightful experiences that raise the bar across the product.

• Consistency & scale: Contribute to our global design system, ensuring a seamless and accessible experience across all platforms.

• Mentorship & culture: Act as a thought partner for fellow designers, fostering a culture of mutual growth, confidence, and design excellence.

• Seniority: We are looking for a very senior profile , someone who has already operated at this level, not someone growing into it. Ideally with 8–10 years of product design experience, with 5+ years operating at a senior or lead level. Setting direction, working independently, and influencing product decisions beyond the design brief.

• Product experience: Deep experience designing mobile-first digital products at scale, such as marketplaces, e-commerce, or similarly complex consumer applications.

• Strategic thinking: A natural ability to bring a design and user perspective into product strategy,  not just executing a vision, but helping shape one. Comfortable pushing back on assumptions and advocating for the right problem to solve.

• Complexity & systems thinking: Proven experience leading multi-feature, end-to-end experiences with systemic complexity that involve dependencies, and require thinking across the full user journey.

• Problem framing: Comfortable starting from ambiguity, scoping ill-defined problems, forming hypotheses, and iterating toward clarity before jumping to solutions.

• Visual craft: A high bar for execution and a natural ability to deliver intentional UI that balances aesthetic beauty with functional clarity, even within strict system constraints.

• Design tooling: High proficiency in Figma and modern prototyping workflows, with an interest in staying current with industry best practices.

• Collaboration & communication: Able to articulate the why behind design decisions and build alignment across functions by partnering with analytics, data science, research, engineering, and content strategy to pressure-test direction and drive decisions forward with confidence.

• Experience working within a fast-paced, iterative product-tech company.
• A background in graphic design, visual design.
• Experience or interest in accessibility standards (WCAG) to ensure our platform is inclusive for everyone.
