Interaction Designer
For this vacancy we unfortunately only hire people currently living in The Netherlands.
As an interaction designer you facilitate the design process within your domain. You use data, insights and your design skills to create the best user experience. You are a driven and creative problem solver who understands the bigger picture and also has an eye for details.
Every day you tackle complex issues and find the best solutions together with your stakeholders.
What does an Interaction Designer do?
You're part of a multi-disciplined team that is responsible for a specific part of the online Coolblue experience. As an interaction designer you work together with passionate developers, data analysts and researchers. Your challenge is to pour all data and insights into a customer-oriented design solution.
You facilitate and drive the creative process from start to end. You create concepts, user flows, prototypes and visual designs which are in line with our business goals. Each time you test whether your designs meet the criteria. Together with your stakeholders you create the best user experience for your product.
For example, you'll be making the check-out on coolblue.nl or one of our internal tools, a little better every day.
You spend most of your time with your product team. You are also part of a design community with designers from other teams. Within this community you share knowledge and support each other. In this way you improve the way we design throughout Coolblue.
You enjoy doing this
• Having a user-centric mindset that cares about problem-solving and good user journeys.
• Devising and visualizing new functionalities and even brand-new products
• Create user-centred flows and designs based on data and user research.
• Come up with finger licking good visual designs that amaze and inspire our users.
• Facilitating the creative process and focusing on delivery.
• Keep learning, improving your skills and share your wisdom with others.
• Being the glue in between stakeholders, product owners, researchers and developers. It's your goal to deliver the best possible design solution.

You recognize yourself in the following
• At least 3 years of work experience in UX design or similar.
• A strong, demonstrated understanding of UX patterns, libraries, design systems, design kits, recent UI trends as well as a good eye for details.
• Experience in end-to-end UX Design; from gathering input from users to creating great-looking pixel-perfect screens.
• A broad skill set in UX/UI design and solid experience with design tools such as Figma, Adobe CC, or Maze.
• There are some beautiful applications in your portfolio that shipped and made an impact.
• Like to deal with a large number of stakeholders and align them to reach the best possible design solution.
This is what you're looking for in a job
• Over 30 training courses at our own Coolblue University.
• Travel allowance and a retirement plan and where-you-work-allowance.
• 25 days of leave. As long as you promise to come back.
• A discount on all our products.
• An extraordinarily good work environment with colleagues from all over the world who make you happy, epic Coolblue parties, pubquizzing, and other activities.
• Working together in an international environment with colleagues from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, and Italy, among others.
• Room for new initiatives and ideas. We're always open to those, whether you've been with us for a week, a month, or a year.
• Hybrid working: a fine balance between working at the office and working from home. Of course, we'll help you create the best home-office possible. Including desk chair, laptop, and blue garlands.
• Does Coolblue offer a hybrid workplace?
Working at the office makes us happy, that's why we are working partly from home and partly from the office.
• Can I live outside the Netherlands and still work in the Tech department of Coolblue?
No, it's not possible to work from abroad as a Tech colleague. We like collaborating in a digital way, but over this last year we've seen that doing a retrospective, a pair-programming session, or grabbing a drink in real life is much more fun.
That's why we like everybody to be in the Rotterdam office at least 4-8 days a month on average. Together with your manager, you decide how often you and your team really meet in the office.
Besides that it's much more fun to see each other in real life, there are also some tax regulations that make it hard to work from abroad.
For a lot of vacancies, we have the possibility to help you (and your family) to relocate to the Netherlands. Visit our relocation page for more information about moving to the Netherlands.
• How often do I go to the office?
Together with your manager, you decide how many days you and your team will be in the office. On average, this will be at least 4-8 times a month.
• Do you help new colleagues relocate?
If the vacancy you're interested in has a relocation sign on top, it means we'll help you (and your direct family) to relocate. You can find more information on our relocation page.
Do I need to live in Rotterdam when I move to the Netherlands?
The Netherlands is a small country, so if you want to live in Amsterdam, Utrecht, or Tilburg, that's okay. As long as you are able to meet your team in the Rotterdam office around 4-8 times a month, you can live wherever you want.
• Can I keep developing myself?
Coolblue University: learning at Coolblue, in a different way.
With over 30 training courses in our own Coolblue University, you can get a little bit better every day. At Coolblue, we go back to school sometimes. But not by sitting there quietly and just listening. The training courses aren't boring, but interactive.
You have to do exercises and have discussions with others. At the Coolblue University, we choose what we want to learn, so we can continue to develop en become real experts. For example, a Delivery Driver needs different training courses than a Customer Service Employe and a starter needs different courses than a manager.
