Senior Product Designer (Interim)
Founded in 2018, ev.energy set out with a clear mission: to make electric vehicle charging simpler, greener, and more affordable for everyone.
By downloading our app, drivers can easily charge their vehicles overnight while we work quietly in the background. Our smart-charging algorithm leverages real-time data to align charging sessions with energy from renewable sources. The grid is under increasing strain from EV charging at peak times - we're already working with over 40 utilities across North America and Europe to help them reduce this demand.
Our team, now over 100 strong, brings together expertise from National Grid, Tesla, Google, and Amazon among others. Backed by over $50 million in funding from top VCs including National Grid Partners, WEX Venture Capital, Energy Impact Partners, and JLR’s InMotion Ventures, we’re on a mission to drive meaningful change.
Join us in shaping a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable future.
The role
We’re working with over 30 utilities across the US and Canada, optimizing EV charging to balance grid loads. You’ll lead the design process for your squad from concept to launch, rolling out configurable smart charging programs globally. You'll enhance the end-to-end experience for utilities and end users across mobile and web, creating delightful interactions. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams across product and engineering, primarily based on the East Coast of the US and Canada.
You’ll be part of a team of 5 designers, reporting to the design manager. The team is collaborative, supportive, and fun, all working remotely.
This is a fixed term role to cover maternity leave within the team until December 2025, paying (pro rata), up to 100k USD or 138k CAD.
What will you be doing?
Leading the design process independently from discovery to launch, delivering smart charging solutions
Enhancing the user experience of utility programs across mobile and web, improving satisfaction and engagement
Collaborating with cross-functional teams such as product, engineering, program management, and customer support, on design strategies aligned with company goals
Contributing to the design team by sharing knowledge and mentoring peers while learning from others
What are we looking for?
3+ years of product design experience
A portfolio showcasing impactful product design work, including your end-to-end product design process
Proactive, clear communication skills (written and verbal) with experience collaborating in remote teams
Confidence aligning design decisions with business strategy to drive growth
Confidence conducting user research and making data-informed decisions
Passion and curiosity for our users, product, and industry
Based in EST
Bonus: A strong knowledge of Tokens Studio and design systems
What are we excited to find?
Experience building 0-1 products and comfort shaping solutions with ambiguity
Experience with tools like Mixpanel or Holistics
Experience in B2B2C ecosystems, able to navigate complex technical and user experience dependencies
How will we support you?
Work remotely and work well - we'll provide the tools you need to do your best (including a Macbook Pro), as well as access to co-working spaces
Access to conferences, meet-ups and training through our L&D allowance
A structured career progression framework and advancement opportunities
Depending on location - health insurance, 401(k) or pension, paid parental leave, life insurance
25 days holiday plus public holidays
Annual team gatherings - in previous years the whole company has spent a week together in the UK
100% charity matching to help spread good!
If you don’t have all of the requirements, but you’re really interested in what we’re doing - please apply anyway! We value applicants regardless of their background or years of experience. We'll also do our best to accommodate reasonable adjustments to the interview process if needed.
