In the UX Designer role, you will contribute to our purpose of Bringing People Closer. You will be designing the future of our desktop Fitting Software that is used by tens of thousands of hearing care professionals across the globe to treat hearing loss in their patients. This is a product with high complexity and impact, where you can make a real and tangible difference to the lives of millions of people.
Specifically, you will create UX design concepts, prototypes, specifications, facilitate UX testing, and have a role in maintaining and expanding our design system. You will do this in collaboration with Product Managers, Developers, Researchers and other UX Designers as part of a cross-functional setup based in Denmark and US.
This position is currently for a 12-month contract, where you will be given support and responsibility not only to deliver your tasks, but ensure your continuous growth, including a better understanding of the company and the business. We also have an ambition to continue the collaboration when a permanent role opens, if there is a good match.
The team you will be part of:
We are the Experience Innovation team, that currently consists of Experience Researchers, Strategists and Designers. As part of the larger Products & Experiences department, we help delivering GN’s hearing related digital products and services.
As a team we work towards bringing the user-centric perspective to everything we touch, and collaborate across departments to ensure impactful outcomes. We come from a diverse background of nationalities, experiences, skillsets, personalities - and we support each other with the varied strengths we each have.
Your contribution is appreciated, and you will:
Create efficient and enjoyable end-to-end UX flows for hearing care professionals
Discover, visualize, prototype and iterate on new designs, incorporating customer and stakeholder feedback at each step
Mature designs to a development-ready state using our existing design system
Support maintaining and expanding the design system as needed
Collaborate with Product Managers, Developers, Researchers, Strategists, Designers, Audiologists and Product Owners along the way
To perform well in the role, we imagine that you have:
Effective visual communication skills to express yourself through design mockups
Effective verbal communication skills to explain design choices and rationales
A structured approach, attention to detail and solid UI capabilities
Experience designing for desktop applications (Fitting Software is Windows based)
Experience designing for B2B products with complex functionality and workflows
Ability to iterate designs over multi-month research, testing and development phases
Ability to keep stakeholders involved in a fast moving organization
At GN we pride ourselves on encouraging flexible working whenever possible. We trust our people to fulfill their responsibilities, to know when in-person collaboration is better than hybrid, and to be present when it's needed most.
This especially applies to this role, as Fitting Software team is distributed across Copenhagen and Chicago. The team relies on flexibility for meetings and collaboration time during the overlapping hours, and also enjoys similar flexibility in terms of working location and hours to match their individual needs.

Even if you don’t match all the above-mentioned skills, we welcome your application if you think you have transferable skills. We highly value a mindset and motivation that align with our core values, to not only ensure growth for you, but for your team and the wider GN organization as well.
