Job Description

Senior Product Designer - Retail

Reaktor’s award-winning tech and design community is looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our Amsterdam office.

You understand how to sell creative work — grounding every choice in brand strategy, user insight, and business value.

If you enjoy turning strategic insights into elegant, effective design solutions — and thrive on crafting interactive experiences that blend form and function — you might be just who we’re looking for.

As a Senior Product Designer at Reaktor, you create visuals that make clients want to buy into your ideas. You’ll design thoughtful, intuitive, and impactful digital experiences that drive real-world outcomes for some of the most iconic retail brands. You’ll shape ideas, bring clarity to complex challenges, and collaborate closely with clients and cross-functional teams to turn strategy into standout execution.

At its core, Reaktor is a technology company that helps ambitious organizations become digital leaders. From premium software development to transformative retail journeys, our global community of experts does it all.

Your daily tasks include:

  • Leading the design of product experiences across digital touchpoints, from strategy to final pixel

  • Working side by side with developers, strategists, and product owners to co-create holistic solutions

  • Conceptualizing and prototyping new features and flows to test, validate, and sell ideas

  • Bringing a strong visual point of view — from brand systems and typography to motion and transitions

  • Presenting creative directions clearly and persuasively to both clients and internal teams

  • Participating in workshops and collaborative sessions to uncover insights and shape vision

  • Maintaining a balance between high-level design leadership and hands-on execution

You love solving design problems with craft, logic, and collaboration.

To thrive in this position, you’ll need:

  • 6–8+ years of experience in digital product design, preferably within fast-paced consultancy or client-facing environments

  • The ability to think conceptually and strategically, connecting business goals to design decisions

  • Confidence in selling your work through compelling storytelling and rationale

  • Immaculate taste and a sharp eye for visual design across layout, typography, and UI systems

  • Strong interaction design skills and a clear understanding of user flow logic and responsive behavior

  • Fluency in modern design tools (e.g. Figma, Adobe Creative Suite) and familiarity with prototyping or motion tools

  • Experience working in interdisciplinary teams with developers, strategists, and copywriters

  • Comfort navigating ambiguity and proactively shaping briefs or concepts from scratch

  • Curiosity, humility, and a constant appetite for learning and evolving your craft

  • Fluent English language skills, with fluent Dutch being a nice-to-have but certainly not compulsory

Why join us?

For two decades, we’ve been developing qualities and capabilities for adapting, reacting, and supporting change – building Reaktor to hold up in a fast-paced environment while ensuring the well-being of our people.

While working at Reaktor, we’ll provide you with:

  • The ability to impact how you work. Together with the client, your team chooses the approach, technologies, and methodologies you think will work best in any given situation

  • A community with as much support as your heart desires

  • A team that’s not only experienced but considerate as well – they all want you to succeed

  • A sustainable work-life balance and support for your daily life outside of work. (e.g., free moving day, Reaktor car share, sick child care services, office space to use for your private events, etc.)

  • An opportunity to grow as a professional. In addition to the day-to-day work, we offer internal training courses, community events, and 15-minute coffee breaks to discuss hot topics in tech and design

  • A possibility to take part in more extended academy-like studies like Cloud Academy

  • 300+ hobby clubs, from winter swimming and running to knitting and archery, that bring people together outside of (and sometimes inside) office hours. Many of these are supported by Reaktor

Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Together, we are committed to making Reaktor an environment that embraces and values all of our employees for the whole of who they are. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply, knowing that studies show that members of underrepresented communities don’t apply for jobs unless they fully satisfy all of the requirements. If you're thinking twice about applying for this reason, we invite you to send us your application anyway. You could be just the person we're looking for.
