Senior Product Designer, New Bets

 

<gh-intro>

  <text>

    We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to own the design of new products within Bolt's New Bets team. This is a 0-to-1 role across multiple early-stage bets — from premium mobility to restaurant discovery to financial services — which means real ownership, real ambiguity, and real impact.

 

    New Bets operates like a collection of autonomous startups inside Bolt. There is no playbook, no established design system, and no clear roadmap handed to you. You will define the experience from scratch, move fast, and be central to what gets built.

 

    If you thrive in early-stage environments and want to build something from the ground up, this role is for you.

 

    [Required only for specific locations] This is a (full-time/part-time) (contract/permanent) employment opportunity. The (monthly/yearly) gross salary for this role ranges from X,XXX € to X,XXX € and will depend on your skills, knowledge, and experience.

  <title>About us</title>

  <text>

    With over 200 million users in 50+ countries, Bolt is one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Europe and Africa. And it's all thanks to our people.

 

    We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or ability.

 

    Our ultimate goal is to make cities for people, not cars. And we need your help on this mission!

  <title>About the role</title>

  <text>

    This is a hands-on individual contributor role that spans the full design process — from early discovery and concept validation through to shipped product. You will work in a small, fast-moving cross-functional team where your decisions carry real weight. You will not only execute design — you will help shape what gets built and why.

 

    Collaboration and communication are as important as craft here. You will work directly with engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders, and you are expected to lead through influence, not through process.

<gh-requirements>

  <title>About you:</title>

  <bulletpoints>

•     <point>You have strong 0-to-1 experience. You are comfortable with ambiguity, know how to frame problems before solving them, and can build a coherent experience from scratch.</point>
•     <point>You move fast, validate with intent, and take full ownership. In a small team, you make sure nothing falls through — even if it is outside your role.</point>

•     <point>You have 4+ years of product design experience with a portfolio that demonstrates end-to-end work on consumer-facing digital products.</point>
•     <point>You treat Figma as a baseline. You prototype with intent, communicate design rationale clearly, and bring a strong mobile-first design sensibility.</point>
•     <point>Experience with marketplace or multi-sided platforms (ride-hailing, food delivery, e-commerce) is a plus.</point>

  </bulletpoints>

    Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying!
