Senior Product Designer

The business

Driversnote is a product-led, profitable SaaS company headquartered in Copenhagen. We help users around the world keep accurate mileage logs for tax deductions and reimbursements. Our solution—used by self-employed professionals, employees, and businesses alike—combines intuitive mobile and web apps with automatic tracking via iBeacon hardware.

Today, Driversnote supports over 3 million total users across more than 160 countries. We’re trusted globally with best-in-class app ratings (4.7/5 average across 100,000+ reviews), and we continue to lead the mileage tracking category across both mobile platforms and web.
We’re currently a team of 40+ engaged people spanning design, mobile and web development, marketing, support and customer success. We work closely across disciplines, united by our mission to simplify everyday admin work for our users.

The product

Driversnote’s main experience is a highly rated freemium app, to a large extent spread through word of mouth. We offer automatic mileage tracking based on the phone's geo location and in addition, we offer a piece of hardware known as an iBeacon to ensure precision tracking, when you enter your car. The mobile app is backed by a substantial backend, and at driversnote.com we offer a fully fledged web application with advanced trip management, team management and workflows for teams. We have a B2C-like relationship with many of our users, but we are gradually moving more and more into traditional B2B space with all that this entails of further product enhancements.

The way we work

We use a product development process known as Shape Up, where a few key people take the role as shapers and define projects that can be designed, implemented and released within 6 weeks, known as cycles. For each 6 week cycle, we form new cross-functional teams with designers, developers, marketeers and customer supporters on them, and we let the teams focus exclusively on finishing their projects within the cycle. Each 6 week cycle is followed by a 2 week cool-down period, where we fix bugs, execute functional projects, evaluate how we did and plan the next cycle.

We like to say that our unfair advantage is that we care more than our competitors, and our users and customers tend to agree when they review our app, respond to NPS surveys and rate our support. We have a generous budget set aside for each employee to learn and develop, and we do a lot of fun stuff together.

The opportunity

As our next Senior Product Designer, you’ll:

  • Take lead on design work from discovery to polished UI, grounded in user needs and business context.
  • Collaborate closely with your team to shape product bets, define experiments, and prototype solutions.
  • Evolve our design system, ensuring consistency and scalability across platforms.
  • Debate design decisions openly across the org and advocate for users in an opinionated environment.
  • Work autonomously while providing design leadership without formal authority.
  • This role has no direct reports, but you’ll naturally mentor and elevate the quality of work around you.

We’d love to hear from you if you:

  • Have 5+ years of experience designing digital products, ideally in a product-led SaaS company.
  • Are fluent in both iOS (HIG) and Android (Material Design) environments—and love good mobile UX.
  • Have experience working on or contributing to design systems.
  • Know how to design experiments: setting up behavioral metrics, success/failure criteria, and iterating based on insights.
  • Care deeply about words—you see copy as a design tool, not decoration.
  • Have a collaborative mindset and enjoy leading through influence.
  • Can clearly articulate design trade-offs and aren’t afraid of constructive critique.

You’ll report to the Chief Product Officer and work in a close-knit team, where we all get our hands dirty. We believe in a collaborative working style with a bias towards rapid prototyping, user testing, and a natural and deep curiosity towards our customers and their needs.
 

What we believe in

Vision & mission: We work to eliminate work-life hassles to let people focus on what matters. Today, that means removing the pain and trivial work of handling mileage, while providing peace of mind that nothing is forgotten and all rules are followed.

Product-led: We focus our work on the end-user and optimise for bottom-up adoption. People's use of our product is what leads to our growth. We sell through our product and as self-service. We invest in customer success instead of outbound sales. Our marketing is focused on people with a need, leading them to the product.

Lean & data-driven: We try to get a deep understanding of the problems we’re solving. But we also acknowledge that we often can’t predict the outcome of our work. So we believe in an experiment-based approach to product development with short build-measure-learn cycles. For this reason, we also don’t believe in detailed plans for more than 3 months ahead.

Long-term & compounding: We invest in things that will have a continuous return and compound. We e.g. prefer a 1% improvement of activation rate over a €100k deal. We’re self-funded, so we don’t stress about the next funding round, and take the time to go into depth with our work.

What we offer

At Driversnote you will be part of an international team composed of talented people that are fun to be around. You will have ample opportunity to influence decisions at all levels, and we hope we can both teach you something and learn something new from you. You’ll get to work with and learn from a team of highly experienced entrepreneurs and tech people. We’ll set aside resources for independent skill development to help you grow and develop your career.

We work in a relaxed environment with new offices near The Meatpacking District. We get a tasty, freshly cooked lunch every day (vegetarian option available), great coffee, cozy Friday drinks, and have great events; from our running club and gaming nights, to our epic Christmas and summer parties.

Since many of us have spouses and kids that we enjoy spending time with, we can honestly say that we offer a healthy work-life balance along with a competitive salary and all the benefits you would expect.
