Thiga cherche des freelances pour intervenir sur des missions à fort impact Tu es Product Designer, et tu ne te contentes pas de designer des écrans mais de construire des produits performants ? Tu t’appuies sur la data, comprends les enjeux business, et utilises l’IA pour aller plus vite et plus loin ? Tu es au bon endroit. Conviction Chez Thiga, nous sommes convaincus que le Design est un accélérateur de croissance responsable pour les entreprises. Mais pour avoir un réel impact, le rôle du designer doit évoluer. Nous défendons une approche de Product Designers “Product Builders”, capables de maîtriser l’ensemble du cycle produit : de la discovery à la delivery, en collaboration étroite avec le Produit, la Tech et le Business. Des designers augmentés par la data et l’IA, qui leur permettent d’explorer plus vite, décider avec justesse et délivrer avec impact. En plaçant les besoins réels des utilisateurs au cœur des produits, tout en intégrant les enjeux économiques, sociaux et environnementaux, le design devient un levier puissant pour une innovation à la fois performante et durable. Le Product Design doit donc être porté à un niveau stratégique pour transformer réellement les organisations. Nous recherchons des freelances qui incarnent cette vision.
