About this role:

At Yubo, design has a real seat at the table. It leads squads in partnership with Product Management and Engineering, shaping strategy and decisions from ideation all the way to delivery, with direct and visible impact on both the product and the business.

We're precisely looking for a Mobile Product Designer to co-lead one of our Product Squad. This is a highly strategic role where you'll help shape product strategy, design experiments, and deliver end-to-end product initiatives focused on impacting growth, retention, and monetization across a product used by millions of users.

You'll spend time understanding user behaviour, exploring solutions, validating ideas, and refining experiences based on real-world data, all for the sake of shipping quality experiences. We don’t expect everything to be perfect from the get-go though, so expect iteration at every occasion

This role is particularly well suited to someone who enjoys balancing product thinking with strong craft, and who wants their work to have a visible impact on business outcomes and user experience alike.
