Role
Who you are

- A strategic mindset and strong customer orientation—you can go deep with design teams or simplify concepts for business users
- A portfolio or track record of start-to-finish design implementations with measurable impact

What the job involves

- In this role, you’ll blend technical design expertise with customer-centric consulting to create beautifully branded, accessible, and intuitive internal communication experiences using the Staffbase platform
- You’ll be a trusted partner to new and existing customers—guiding them through design workshops, UI/UX best practices, and front-end implementation ideas to ensure their comms channels are both visually engaging and aligned to their brand goals
- From concept to delivery, your work will sit at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and product enablement
- Lead design consultations with customers to align product setup with their visual identity, audience goals, and content strategy
- Create thoughtful mockups and design proposals that take into account user experience, accessibility, and technical feasibility
- Customize client applications using front-end technologies (HTML/CSS/JavaScript), in alignment with Staffbase’s feature set and best practices
- Facilitate design and comms workshops with customer stakeholders and internal teams
- Partner cross-functionally with Customer Success, Sales, and Implementation to ensure a seamless onboarding experience
- Contribute to internal process improvements and advocate for the customer’s voice in product conversations
- Maintain deep knowledge of Staffbase platform capabilities and how they map to design use cases
Our take
Since launching in 2014, Staffbase has grown into a major name in the internal communications niche. Its platform is used by the likes of Samsung, ALDI, DHL, and Domino’s to create branded, mobile-first communication and information sharing tools which can access a company’s intranet from anywhere.
Staffbase has managed to set itself apart to some extent from the range of other internal communication apps like Slack and Teams by focusing on building a product tailored towards dedicated internal communication teams, rather than taking a more general approach.
This is proving to be a good decision as, with the shift to remote and hybrid working, the last few years have seen Staffbase gather serious momentum. A 2021 merger with Canadian competitor Banantang has been followed up by a series of major funding rounds and a rise to unicorn status. As well as this, it’s been expanding its own product portfolio through a number of strategic acquisitions as it looks to stay ahead of the competition.
