LET'S SHAPE THE FUTURE OF RENTING TOGETHER.
WHO WE ARE
Qasa is a fast-growing scale-up transforming the rental housing market across the Nordics. Since launching in 2014, we've been
focused on making renting easier, safer, and more accessible for both landlords and tenants.
What started as a small startup is now the leading rental platform in Sweden - and we're just getting started. We're expanding
across the Nordics with a highly skilled, driven team passionate about building a product that makes a real difference in people's
lives.
Now, we're looking for a Lead Product Designer to take on broad, hands-on ownership of design at Qasa - leading by example,
growing our design team, and helping shape how we build product to make the rental experience easier and safer for tenants and
landlords. If you love great craft, care about the people you work with as much as the pixels you push, and want to help define
what design means at Qasa, this could be a great opportunity for you.
ROLE
As our Lead Product Designer, you will operate as a true player-coach. You will split your time between shaping high-quality,
hands-on work yourself and line-managing a small, talented design team. Your goal is to set the strategic direction alongside the
CPO, raise the bar on our craft, and build the structure our design practice needs to scale. You will act as the bridge between
product, design, and engineering, while pioneering our shift toward an AI-first design workflow.
You'll work closely with our CPO and product team, translating strategy into design direction and own the design system, leading
it from a design perspective, making sure design and engineering speak the same language.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Own broad responsibility for design at Qasa - craft, process, and people
Manage and grow a team of product designers, hands-on
Solve complex problems by mapping seamless user journeys and crafting polished, high-fidelity UI across all our markets
Work closely with the CPO and product team to connect design with product strategy
Lead our design system from a design perspective - components, patterns, and systems that scale
Lead and support initiatives in AI adoption, helping the team integrate new AI tools to enhance our design workflow
Partner closely with engineering - you speak the language and understand how developers work
Champion user research and usability testing to inform and validate design decisions
Set the pace: work fast, efficient, and good - and help others do the same
Advocate for our users and usability across the organization
REQUIREMENTS
10+ years of experience in product design, with a strong, production-focused portfolio (visual design, UI, and UX)
Previous experience as a Staff, Principal, or Senior Product Designer
Experience working with digital C2C/consumer-facing products. Production agency experience is a plus
Line-management experience, and genuine interest in growing people, not just product
Hands-on experience with and deep interest in AI
Design system knowledge, with the ability to lead a design system team from a design perspective
Operational experience across guidelines, patterns, and systems
Knowledge and experience of development - you can speak the language and understand how developers think
Experience working closely with and supporting a CPO or product team
Strong ability to interpret and act on data and analytics insights
Genuinely passionate, curious, and up to date on all things design
Strong understanding and advocacy for design thinking and user-first methodologies
As a leader, we believe that you are down to earth with an uplifting energy - someone who's friendly but firm, and non-prestigious
enough to know the work matters more than the ego. You're professional, but fun to work with, and at your core a true
people-person: adaptable and flexible when things change.
WORKING AT QASA
We love hanging out with each other at the office and hope you do too! Ideally, you work from the office at least 3 days a week,
but we are flexible and understand that life looks different for everyone. You'll be based in our Stockholm office in Södermalm.
At Qasa, we pride ourselves on several values that we practice in our daily work: work smart, be honest, and make an impact. We
also believe in transparency. Therefore, you'll often find information from board meetings, company strategy, and general updates
visible in our internal channels for everyone to read. Because the best ideas come when everyone's in the loop.
Does this sound like the right opportunity for you? We process applications as they come in, so go ahead and update that portfolio
of yours and get started!
