Senior Product Designer, Enquiry to Hire - (Remote, Spain)

About Bark

Bark is an online services marketplace connecting customers with professionals across over 1,000 categories. Operating in nine countries including the UK, US, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, we're transforming how people find trusted service providers for everything from home improvement to professional services.

Our platform uses cutting-edge technology to match customers with the right professionals quickly and efficiently. With a global team of over 220 people, we're currently undergoing an exciting transformation: migrating from a lead generation model to a full marketplace platform with subscription-based pricing.

As a profitable, PE backed scale up (EMK Capital), Bark offers the best of both worlds: the agility and innovation of a fast moving business combined with financial stability and resources for growth. We recently launched our new marketplace model in Australia (Q4 2025) and are preparing for rollout to the UK and US markets in 2026. You'll have genuine ownership, responsibility, and the opportunity to shape our commercial strategy during a pivotal transformation phase with the chance to make your own contribution to our journey.

About the Role

*Please note you must be based in Spain to be considered for this fully remote role.

You'll be a core contributor on a tight design team, embedded in squads working on the overall experience for our consumers and professionals, from the point of initial contact through to a hire.

This is a strategically critical part of the product and includes the comms tools as well as the overall on-and-off platform experience through this phase of the process. Consumers need help navigating challenges of hiring the right professional, whilst we need to minimise the effort of closing deals for our time poor professionals.

You'll own design problems end-to-end, from early problem framing through to shipped, measured output. This work will impact both the web and app experiences.

You’ll work closely with an amazing PM and EM, together defining and delivering a great experience resulting in a satisfying hire for both sides.

This isn't a role for someone who needs a lot of hand-holding, or who delivers great mobile work but lets the desktop design slip. We want someone who holds themselves to a high standard across the board and gets there quickly.

For the right candidate, this is a great opportunity to shape the future strategy and product vision of a key part of the Bark product.

Responsibilities

• Own design for your squad's workstream from discovery through delivery, across web and mobile

• Frame problems clearly before jumping to solutions and bring structure and rationale to design decisions

• Generate multiple concepts at pace, take feedback well, and iterate without backtracking

• Work with product managers, engineers and researchers to identify the right problems and validate your thinking

• Contribute to Bark's design system and help us build something consistent and scalable

• Use data, research and qualitative feedback to ground your work in evidence, not assumption

• Use AI tools as a natural part of your workflow, for research synthesis, rapid concept generation and validation, design quality and delivery for engineering (this is changing rapidly)

Required Skills and Experience

• Self-directed and fast. You manage your own time, hit your commitments, and raise blockers early rather than disappearing into a problem

• Comfortable with ambiguity - we have a clear direction for our transformation but there are critical questions we still need to answer

• A strong senior IC with a track record of delivering real product (user and business) impact, not just polished portfolios

• Comfortable with the full design process: framing, wireframing, prototyping, visual design, validation

• High craft standards across both mobile and desktop

• Confident with data. You use it to make decisions and to measure whether your work is working

• Someone who takes feedback cleanly and moves forward, not someone who relitigates resolved decisions

• Proficient in Figma; familiarity with AI-assisted design workflows is critical

Interview Process

• Screening Call with Talent Partner (30 mins)

• 1st Stage - Hiring Manager Stage (30 mins)

• 2nd Stage - Technical Task (presenting take-home task) (60 mins)

• 3rd Stage - Values interview (30 mins)
