Product Designer - Mid level (Remote, Europe)

Description

Why this role

LearnWorlds helps creators, educators and organizations build and grow learning businesses. We're a profitable, product-led SaaS company with customers in more than 150 countries. Our product serves two audiences at once: the people who build and run online schools, and the learners who use them. Designing well for both is what makes the work interesting.

AI is changing how products get made, and design along with it. A product direction might now begin as a PM prototype, an engineering experiment, customer feedback, AI output, or a designer's own idea. The designer's job is to judge what is worth pursuing and make it better, with the whole product in mind.

With time to market shrinking, we're looking for a Product Designer who notices what could be better and acts on it. Someone who gets hands-on and uses AI to expand what they can take on, without lowering the bar on quality or product thinking.

How you'll work here

You work across the whole platform

You're not tied to one product area. You design for both admin and learner experiences, moving between focused UI and interaction improvements, complex workflow-heavy flows, AI-enabled experiences, and our shared patterns and design system.

You create momentum

You don't wait for every problem to become a ticket. You notice gaps and opportunities, then decide what is worth fixing and move it forward. Context will often be incomplete. Creating clarity is part of the job.

You know when to push

Good judgment matters as much as craft. You know when to challenge a direction, simplify it, keep going, or stop. You care about quality without treating every detail as equally important. Bring an opinion and explain it. Be ready to change it when someone has a better one.

You multiply your impact with AI

AI should increase the amount and range of work you can meaningfully take on. Use it throughout the work: explore and prototype, get up to speed on unfamiliar areas, test and critique ideas, and automate low-value tasks. You use AI to take on more without giving up the judgment that makes the work good, and you can explain what it contributed, what you rejected, and how you made the final call.

You make the work better with others

Reporting directly to the Head of Product Design, you work closely with Product Managers, engineers, instructional designers and fellow Product Designers, and you stay involved until the thing works. You can challenge an idea without making it personal, and you can be challenged without getting defensive. Strong opinions, lightly held. No ego, no politics.

You bring something distinctive

There should be something you're unusually good at. We don't need to define it for you, but we should feel the difference in the work and in the team. Meeting the brief is expected. Bringing useful ideas beyond it is what will make you stand out.

Requirements

• You have strong product and UI craft and can take work from problem to delivery. Ideally, you have professional experience designing SaaS, B2B or other complex digital products. You're comfortable with changing priorities. You communicate clearly, work autonomously, and can drive initiatives forward when needed. You know when to use existing patterns and when they need to change.
• This is a mid-level role. We expect roughly 3 or more years of professional product design experience, but we care more about evidence than exact years.
• A portfolio is required. Show strong work and be clear about what you owned, why you made the decisions you did, and what changed because of them. Where AI was part of your process, tell us what it contributed and where your own judgment took over.
• Strong English is required. It's our daily working language.
• We're a fully remote European team with offices in Athens, Crete and Limassol.
• We don't offer relocation or visa sponsorship for this role. Applicants must already have the legal right to work remotely from their country of residence, subject to LearnWorlds' hiring eligibility requirements.
• Practical exercises are part of the hiring process (see below).
• Recruitment process
• We want each step to tell us something different about how you work. The process is designed to stay focused while giving both sides enough evidence to make a good decision.
• Application and practical assessment . Alongside your CV and portfolio, you'll answer a small set of role-specific questions and complete a short 10 min observation exercise.
• Talent acquisition conversation . A conversation about your motivation, expectations, availability and practical fit for the role.
• Design task and cognitive assessment . You'll have a week to work on a focused product design task and complete a short cognitive assessment. AI is welcome as part of your process.
• Live design review and conversation with the Head of Product Design . We'll review your work together, challenge decisions, discuss trade-offs, and talk about how you work, collaborate and make decisions.
• Final conversation with the CPO . A final discussion about product judgment, ambition, and alignment with where LearnWorlds is heading.
