(Senior) Designer - User Research, User Experience, User Interface (w/d/m)

At Avocargo we are changing the way we live in cities. With our cargobike sharing service, we re making electric cargobikes available to everyone - people and businesses. Our sharing offer allows families as well as other private user groups to bring anything and anyone along with them. Businesses, especially in the delivery sector, can transport large and heavy cargo without the need for their own static fleet.

We believe in the huge potential of cargobikes and are determined to overcome the barriers that prevent them from being a serious alternative to cars. Are you looking to be part of something big that not only helps solve people s mobility problems, but does so in a sustainable, comfortable and exciting way? Then get in touch and help us make this world a little bit better!

Tasks

We are looking for a (Senior) Designer - User Research, User Experience, User Interface (w/d/m) to support the team in Berlin or remotely.
