Product Designer - DoneDeal.ie

What’s the Opportunity

DoneDeal is Ireland’s largest marketplace, helping millions of people buy and sell cars every year. We’re looking for a strong mid-level Product Designer to help evolve the car buying and selling experience, with a particular focus on search, discovery, listings, and trust across the journey.

You’ll join a modern, product-led team where design plays a central role in shaping direction—not just execution. Working closely with Product, Engineering, and Data, you’ll help identify meaningful user problems, explore solutions quickly, and ship experiences that balance user needs with marketplace health and commercial outcomes.

You’ll work in an AI-enabled design environment, using contemporary tools and workflows to accelerate discovery and iteration, while applying strong human judgement, craft, and user-centred thinking to deliver high-quality outcomes. You will be entrusted with maintaining design excellence, encouraging innovation, and delivering outstanding user experiences to set us apart in the market.

What will I be doing?

• Contribute to high-quality design standards: Play your part in ensuring high-quality design standards that enable a flawless and intuitive product experience to our users, while also exploring innovative new directions.

• Conducting detailed Design Reviews: Utilise feedback to uphold consistency and excellence in design, encouraging a culture that prioritises high-quality work.

• Solving user problems through design: Collaborate closely with Product to identify user problems or opportunities and build lean, innovative solutions grounded in user needs, data, and feasibility. 

• Advocating for Usability Testing and Research:  Champion modern research and experimentation practices, using qualitative insights, behavioural data, and existing tools (such as GA, Hotjar, Convert) to inform decisions, validate solutions, and measure impact post-launch. 

• Working with AI-Enabled Workflows: Leverage AI tools to accelerate discovery, ideation, content exploration, and prototyping, while collaborating on AI-powered product features and continuously evolving design workflows as capabilities mature.

• Systems, Scale and Craft: Contribute to scalable design systems and patterns that support consistency, adaptability, and personalised or AI-assisted experiences, maintaining high standards of craft while working at pace.

• Contribute to a Positive Team Culture: Bring diversity of thought, inclusivity, and collaboration to the design & product team, and contribute valuable perspectives.
