User Experience Designer

UX Designer (Maternity Cover)

Location: Copenhagen

Contract: 12 months (until end of June 2026)

Start: As soon as possible

In this role, you’ll help shape how thousands of small businesses manage their core accounting tasks. It’s not just about making things look good. It’s about making complex flows feel simple, intuitive and genuinely helpful.

If you’re motivated by meaningful design work, curious about user behaviour, and ready to collaborate closely with developers and product managers, we think you’ll feel right at home here.

The team you’ll be joining

You’ll be part of our UX team in e-conomic, a centralised group of 16 UX designers within the Products department. Across Denmark, Romania and Portugal, our 180+ colleagues from Products work together to build and improve our core accounting product that 220.000 businesses use to manage their finances.

In this role, you’ll be embedded in the product team named Big Bank Theory, where we focus on helping users manage banking data and transactions as part of their accounting workflows. You’ll work closely with Jannik (Product Manager) and Chris (Engineering Team Lead), and your manager will be Jessica, who leads the UX team and will support your onboarding and development.

Even though your day-to-day work will be with the product team, you won’t be designing in a vacuum. You’ll have the full support and sparring of the UX team, sharing feedback, ideas, and tools to help each other grow.

What you’ll be doing

This is a hands-on role where you’ll work across the full UX process, from early discovery to polished design. You’ll help shape how the team solves problems, always with the user in mind.

Some days, you’ll run interviews, test ideas, or validate hypotheses. Other days, you’ll be deep in Figma, designing flows, wireframes or prototypes. You’ll also contribute to our shared design system and help ensure consistency across the user experience.

Here’s a flavour of your week:

• Collaborate with developers and product managers to align expectations and make sure the user's voice is represented in decisions
• Run weekly user research and discovery, using qualitative and quantitative methods to uncover needs and validate ideas
• Design end-to-end flows that solve real problems and improve how users interact with our product
• Test, iterate and refine your work based on feedback from customers, your team and your peers in other teams
• Work with our design system team to bring consistency and quality across our product experience

You’ll thrive in this role if...

You’re driven by understanding people and making their day-to-day work easier. You probably get a little kick out of simplifying something complex, and you care about finding the right problem before jumping into a solution.

Perhaps you can see yourself here, because you:

• Love solving real customer problems and turning complexity into clarity
• Understand what it means to work with a long-lived product, and enjoy improving what already exists
• Care deeply about user needs and how good design can empower users in their everyday work
• Enjoy collaborating with developers, product managers and analysts, and aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions
• Feel confident switching between research and design, and testing ideas early
• Have experience designing digital products. SaaS or B2B is a plus, but not a requirement

This role is well suited to someone with a few years of experience and a motivation to grow. You don’t need to be a senior designer, but you should care deeply about your craft.

What we hope you’ll bring

We don’t believe in perfect checklists. But here are a few things we think will help you succeed:

• 1–2 years of experience as a UX designer and a portfolio that shows how you think and work
• Fluency in English, and the ability to hold a conversation in Danish (many of our customers prefer it)
• Practical experience with Figma and a good understanding of design tools like Miro or Adobe Creative Suite
• A user-centred mindset and confidence working with both qualitative and quantitative research
• Solid collaboration and communication skills, meaning you can run a workshop, sketch out ideas, or explain a design choice clearly
• A natural curiosity and a willingness to learn and experiment

Who we are

We’re a UX team who believe that great design starts with empathy, curiosity and feedback. We care deeply about quality and collaboration, and we make space for learning and growth.

We’re social, international and once a month, we host two Hack Days, which is time spend to explore passion projects, test new tools or tackle something outside your usual team.

Our team includes an Italian artist, an enthusiastic snacker, a former scout, a passionate padel player, a fast walker, a crossword fanatic, and many more. We’re excited to find out what you’ll bring to the mix.

Adapt your work environment and hours to suit your lifestyle, with hybrid options available.

Access a range of services to support your physical and mental health.

Comprehensive health insurance and company-paid pension.

Unlimited child sick days.

Two hack days each month to explore and execute your innovative ideas.
