Remote Vacancy.

2GIS is looking for a Design Lead to take responsibility for the development of the transport experience: from strategy and key product solutions to interface quality and team growth.

Transport is one of the key scenarios in 2GIS. People open the app to figure out how to get there faster and more conveniently: by car, public transport, or on foot. The navigator, public transport routes, and pedestrian navigation are daily scenarios that form the habit of using the product. The goal is to make 2GIS the primary tool for moving around the city: increase usage frequency and the share of transport users among the entire app audience.

What they offer:

• The goal and will to create the best product for choosing and navigating in the city.
• An audience of over 80 million MAU.
• Processes that allow design to significantly influence the product.

What you will be doing:

• Developing transport scenarios as a product: forming a design vision for the transport track; participating in defining the product strategy with product managers and analysts; finding solutions that impact key metrics.
• Leading the design team: managing the work of transport track designers; helping the team grow professionally and strengthen product thinking; building design processes within a cross-functional team.
• Making complex interfaces understandable: designing scenarios with high information density and states; working at the intersection of maps, navigation, and real-time data.
• Influencing the product beyond the transport track.
• Visible balance: design/management — 50/50.

What's important:

• Experience leading designers or design teams for 2+ years.
• Experience working independently with complex interfaces and scenarios in B2C products for 5+ years.
• Strong product background and ability to work with metrics.

Skills that will be useful:

• System thinking and the ability to see the product as a whole.
• Ability to translate product goals into concrete solutions.
• High level of UI development: consistency of solutions, attention to detail, thoughtful states, and alignment of the interface with product tasks.
• Confident work with uncertainty.
• Ability to explain and defend solutions.
• Attention to detail without losing focus on goals.

Will be a plus:

• Experience working with maps, navigation, or mobile products.
• Experience in developing design processes.
• Experience working with real-time scenarios.
• Experience building user flows with high usage frequency.

Conditions:

• 2GIS is an accredited IT company.
• The specialist matters, not their location. You can work remotely. If you want to work in a hybrid format, we have offices in Moscow, St. Petersburg, two great offices in Novosibirsk. Also, coworking spaces in other cities.
• Of course, a completely official salary.
• We care about health: Voluntary Medical Insurance (DMS) and the opportunity to receive online consultations from a therapist, neurologist, psychologist, and medical agent.
• If you want to share your experience, we are all for it — we will help with speaking at conferences and writing articles for Habr.
• There is our own training center: courses, training, and books to enhance your skills.
