Senior Designer

About the role Every screen a consumer taps through, and every surface a merchant sees Klarna's name on, is a decision someone made — the layout, the wording, the visual identity holding it together. That someone is a designer, and at this level, the work spans both: shaping product flows people use every day, and shaping how Klarna looks and feels wherever it shows up. This is a general Senior Designer opening, not tied to one fixed team. Depending on need at the time of hiring, you could be placed on a product team working on a specific consumer or merchant flow, or on a brand-facing team shaping visual identity and campaigns — and your focus may shift as the business changes. Either way, you'll be expected to move between the two: designing a screen one week, and making sure a brand guideline holds up across a dozen touchpoints the next. What you'll do ● You'll design end-to-end product flows, from early concept through polished, shippable interfaces. ● You'll shape and apply Klarna's visual identity across the surfaces you own, keeping brand and product design consistent with each other. ● You'll prototype ideas quickly to test direction before committing engineering time to them. ● You'll work directly with product managers, engineers, and other designers to turn a rough problem into a specific, buildable solution. ● You'll use AI tools as part of your everyday design process, not as a separate experiment. ● You'll give and act on design critique, and hold your own work to the same bar you'd apply to someone else's. Who you are ● You've worked as a designer across both product and brand work, not just one of the two. ● You can take a flow from a rough idea to a finished, usable interface on your own. ● You understand how typography, layout, and visual identity carry through consistently across different formats and touchpoints. ● You use AI tools yourself as part of how you design, not just to talk about using them. ● You can explain a design decision — including the ones you rejected — to both designers and non-designers. ● You're comfortable moving between different kinds of design work as priorities shift. Bonus points for ● A degree in design, visual communication, or a related field. ● Experience designing for a regulated industry such as fintech or banking. ● Motion design or animation experience. ● Experience contributing to or maintaining a design system.
