Globeia - Design Head

The problem

Moving to another country should be an exciting experience. But the process of getting there often involves navigating a maze of paperwork, verifications, translations and approvals across different systems and countries.

Globeia wants to change that. They're building a global identity platform where people can have their documents verified once and access them whenever and wherever they need them, making international mobility simpler and more seamless.

They're looking for a design leader to help bring this vision to life – shaping the product experience, defining the brand and building the design function from the ground up.

• Strong product thinking, from user flows and systems to broader product strategy.

• A sharp eye for brand, visual language and storytelling.

• Experience building and leading design teams, ideally in a startup environment.

• Comfortable working closely with founders and senior leadership, bringing independent perspectives and challenging ideas when needed.
