Senior Product Designer

About us:

How did Web Summit become, in the words of Forbes, “the best tech conference on the planet”? Meaningful connections. Our tech events are unmissable because we make it easier for the right people to meet and connect. Everyone at Web Summit works towards this goal.

And we’re just getting started.

We’re always looking to build on the impact we have already made at Web Summit. In the coming years we’ll take Web Summit to new markets, promoting global connectivity, highlighting important issues and connecting global leaders – all while making a positive impact on the environment and communities we encounter.

To build a better company, we have to better ourselves. We do that by finding the most ambitious people to work with us.

At Web Summit, we believe that the power of design and engineering can be applied to every facet of our events to create an excellent attendee experience. Therefore, whatever projects you work on, you’ll work closely with our marketing team, software and web engineers across all our conferences.

This Senior Product Designer role will take primary ownership of the Web Summit website as a high-traffic conversion channel. You will translate marketing and advertising goals into design-led experiences, maintain and evolve our web design system, and collaborate with growth, SEO, and performance teams to optimise acquisition and conversion. In addition to site ownership, you will contribute to broader product initiatives across our attendee tools and platforms.
