Product Designer

Join us on our mission to revolutionise the professional services market by bridging the gap between individual freelancers and enterprise-level projects through a superior type of supplier - the Vico.

Our SaaS platform provides the legal, organisational and transactional infrastructure that enables freelancers to build teams (Virtual Companies) which can compete with traditional service providers, without all the organisational overhead. Through Vicoland, clients can run their projects 30 - 50% more cost-efficiently, while freelancers can easily scale their work and access larger projects than anywhere else.

Since our launch 2 years ago, our Vicos worked with several world-renowned clients such as Netflix, AWS, SAP, Tupperware, Smart, Becton Dickinson and Colliers. This already garnered media attention - Forbes called Vicoland the "Startup of Startups" and Forrester listed us under the top 7 freelancer marketplaces.

We're laser-focused on our growth & accelerating the development of Vicoland and are looking for a Product Designer to support us on this journey. Our agile product team is split into squads of Product Managers, Product Designers, Engineers and QAs.
