Are you ready to shape the growth of a great scale-up that is revolutionizing the logistics world? Do you want to work with an exceptional team of people you’ll remember for the rest of your life? Then hit that apply button because we need you over here! 🤗

Founded in 2016, Peripass is a logistics SaaS scale-up with its headquarters in Ghent. Our Yard Management Software enables industrial and logistics companies to smoothly manage the complete flow of trailers rolling on and off their sites, as well as all trailer movements on-site. Building on an already strong revenue basis, our sales and overall company growth are rapidly accelerating. In 2023, we have recently grown to about 50 people and we are planning to grow to over 75 people in 2024. Some other BIG NEWS 🎉, in January 2024 we secured €7.5 million to accelerate our global expansion. The investment will help us to accomplish our mission to digitize and automate logistics. You can read all about it in De Tijd or Tech.eu. Exciting times ahead!

As our Product Designer, you are responsible for the design of the existing product and new roadmap items. This includes the full journey from ideation, and developer briefing up to a correct implementation. You are the guardian of UX simplicity within the product and you are responsible for:   

• Gathering insights and feedback to inform our design decisions. You organize site visits, user interviews and user tests to understand the end user requirements.
• Creating wireframes, prototypes and interactive designs for new features and enhancements. You enjoy to pay attention to the microcopy within designs.
• Defining user flows and information architecture to optimize usability.
• Facilitating experiments for bigger features and conduct user tests to validate our design decisions.
• Creating visual development briefings using designs and diagrams. Next to this you also work closely with development to ensure the successful implementation of the design.
• Creating engaging visuals for sales materials and crystal clear documentation for end users.
• Developing and maintaining design systems, ensuring consistency and scalability across the product.

• You stay up-to-date with industry trends and best practices in product design and user experience.
• You have an entrepreneurial mindset and are willing to step in and contribute beyond you defined role.
• You can think conceptually and translate concepts into workable solutions.
• You adjust your actions to the feelings, needs, and wishes of internal and external customers, even when they are not directly expressed.

You will be part of a multidisciplinary, agile team and you report to the Product & Engineering Director.

Sidenote: Your design tasks will focus on UX and not on UI or graphic design.

What we offer:

• First of all: a great job with lots of responsibility within a fast-growing and financially healthy company.
• Since human capital is one of our biggest assets we will be investing in you. Offering you plenty of learning opportunities both through training programs and on the job.
• A cheerful bunch of colleagues who are all building the success story of Peripass, day after day, milestone after milestone, and joke after joke. 
• A solid salary package with great benefits.
• Flexible working hours and work-from-home options.

Want to know if we’d be a good fit for you? Here are our values. We do everything we can to make these values live in our day-to-day and not just words we put up on our walls.

• Act fast, fail fast – We don’t blame, we learn. Because you simply can’t grow without failing.
• Curiosity – We like to try out new stuff and to optimize things. By working together, we come up with creative solutions that we can be proud of.
• Adaptability – We have to face it, we’re scaling, and we’re scaling fast. So we need to constantly change and adapt. But hey, isn’t that also the kick of working at a scale-up?
• No nonsense – We communicate directly with each other and we listen, we really listen. Because that’s the key to making good things great.
• Humbleness – Hey, we’re all just people. We all f*ck up sometimes, we all deserve respect and we’re all in this to grow and kick some serious ass in the process.

Probably by now, you already have a good idea of who are we looking for, but here are some pointers:

• You have experience with Figma, including Design Systems.
• Either studies or relevant experience with UX design. 
• You are a conceptual thinker and are good in planning and organizing.
• A good working proficiency in Dutch. You can have a professional conversation in English since that is our internal language. 

Amazing bonus points if:

• You have experience conducting user interviews, focus groups and prototype testing.
• Experience in a SaaS company or Agency with a product- and UX-culture.
