Product Designer for Automations

📍SYDNEY PREFERRED (REMOTE POSSIBLE)

We're hiring our first dedicated Product Designer to be on Team Bolt, our Automations & Scale team, and help Qwilr to liberate the power of the web. We've crafted a product that customers love, and now we need you — to design how Qwilr transforms the sales workflow of our largest customers.



About the role

We’re hiring our first dedicated Product Designer for Team Bolt, our Automations & Scale team, to put the full power of Qwilr at the fingertips of larger teams. You’ll make it easy for them to automate highly personalised pages, and solve the messy workflows around it to feel simple and empowering. You’ll also co-own strategically valuable quarterly plans with your triad partners in Product Management and Engineering.

While you'll be the first designer on Team Bolt, you won't be alone. You'll also be joining Qwilr's Design team, and a company that has valued and invested in design since it was founded in 2015. Being a startup has meant designing for Team Bolt hasn't always been a full time focus, but it's an incredibly important aspect of our $10m raise last year. This role will help create something we're really proud of, and supports a very ambitious year ahead.

Finally, you'll have smart people to work with, challenging problems to solve, and the space to solve them well. You'll have opportunities to try new things, with the support to improve your core skills and really hone your craft. It's these reasons I've been at Qwilr for over 4 years, and can honestly say it's a very, very exciting time to come onboard — with your help, our best work is ahead of us.

Head of Design


Projects you'll work on

⚡️ Smart Templates

Qwilr's smart templates allow customers to create highly personalised Qwilr Pages, in just a single click. What's possible is largely basic string and image substitution, and we feel like we're just scratching the surface of value here. You'll work on making this system of smart templates much more powerful, and more efficient for teams to use every day.

What this requires

  • Understanding how tokens/variables can be replaced with data
  • Designing for expressive outcomes that are efficient to create
  • Designing for systems that can create a wide range of outcomes


⚡️Integration Workflows

Bigger customers come with bigger and more sophisticated integration workflow challenges to solve for, and Team Bolt gets double the fun here — you'll need to solve for the workflow challenges for teams creating and managing smart templates inside Qwilr, and how integrations access and leverage those smart templates to create highly personalised pages in a single click.

What this requires

  • Mapping out workflows across our app & integrations
  • Optimising for individual and overall team efficiency
  • Designing how permissions and roles positively impact areas


⚡️Automations

Out vision is to "Liberate the power of the web", and making it easy to automate content creation — without needing to code — is a very important part of achieving this vision. You'll see the wide range of collateral customers are trying to create, and design experiences to automate them. You'll make these simple and empowering to use, and help make an outsized impact in their team and their business.

What this requires

  • Designing complex concepts to feel simple and empowering
  • Enabling highly personalised outcomes in more efficient ways
  • Designing the experience and the brain that powers automation

We've put together the skills we're looking for below (all levels defined here), and the most important for this role emphasized below. We use these levels for hiring, but also for mapping your career growth together too.




Perks you'll get

We believe you do your best work when you feel your best. We provide a setup bonus when you join, and an annual budget for further education, conferences and books.

Hiring stages

01

Portfolio review

You'll submit your portfolio (in any form that comes in) so we can see what your strengths are, and if you are a good fit on paper

02

Initial call with our People Team

You'll have an initial call with someone from our People team to chat through some of your experience to date, salary expectations, and for you to hear what it's like working at Qwilr.

03

Design take-home task

You'll do a take-home task so we can see how you approach a real world design problem. We’re evaluating systems thinking first and foremost, but we also want to see how you leverage constraints to make a clear and compelling experience for users.

04

Interview & Whiteboard

This stage is an interview with Dom, our Head of Design, followed by a whiteboard session with Dom and another member of Team Bolt. This is to see how you collaborate around a design problem, and get a feel for what it would be like working together in a real world context.

05

Meet the Founders

After this, you’ll have a quick chat with one of our founders, Dylan (our CEO) or Mark (our COO). This will be an informal chat, and an opportunity for you to get to know the Founders personally, and for them to get to know you.

06

Offer 🎉

If all lights are green, you'll have a final conversation with Dom and he'll be (very) excitedly making you an offer to join Qwilr!
