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.



Click here to read the full job description: team.qwilr.com/2CTUBZBPT1Ol



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.

- Dominic Sebastian, 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.


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.

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...

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