About the Position

Freelance Business Designer (Mid-Level/Senior)


We are looking for you!

We’re looking to invite talented Business Designers into our freelance talent network. This is not a full-time position - instead, once selected you become part of our vetted pool of freelancers, and we’ll reach out whenever relevant projects arise.

This role is specifically for strategists and designers who design the business around the product. You might have started your career in product or service design, but today, your focus is on market viability, commercial strategy, and business modeling. If you love translating user needs into profitable business models, framing value propositions, and figuring out how a new product or service will actually make money - we want you.

(Note: If you are looking for a pure UI, UX, or digital product delivery role, this is not the right fit)


Responsibilities

  • Ensure new product and service concepts are commercially viable.
  • Help define the business models and value propositions for globally recognized brands.
  • Connect user experience with business goals.
  • Collaborate with Researchers, UX, and UI designers to integrate business thinking early into the process.
  • Participate in internal sharing sessions and community of passionate creators, strategists, and designers.

Requirements

  • 3+ years (Mid) or 6+ years (Senior) of professional experience in Business Design, Venture Architecture, or Strategic Design.
  • A strong portfolio or case studies demonstrating how you designed business models, mapped value propositions, or validated commercial viability for products and services.
  • Fluent in mapping user journeys and service ecosystems, and comfortable working with business model canvases, conducting market and viability assessments, market sizing, and pricing strategies.
  • Highly skilled in facilitating co-creation workshops, driving value proposition design, and translating complex user needs into business concepts.
  • Experience applying a design-thinking mindset to business validation-designing rapid experiments, smoke tests, or landing page pilots to measure real customer willingness to adopt and pay.
  • Ability to collaborate seamlessly with UX/UI designers, tech leads, and client executives.

Nice to Have

  • Bonus (Domain Expertise): Experience designing digital products, services, or ventures within complex spaces like Health Tech / Digital Health or Automotive & Mobility, or experience utilizing AI-driven tools to accelerate market and competitor analysis.

We Offer

  • Flexible working (hybrid/remote models).
  • Generous time off policies (unlimited vacations, sick and parental leaves).
  • Extensive reward and compensation package.
  • Intellectually and creatively stimulating space.
  • Health insurance and unique travel opportunities.
  • Warm and vibrant multinational environment filled with impactful projects, career development opportunities, mentorship and training programs, fun sports activities, workshops, networking, and outdoor meet-ups.

How our freelance network works

Apply by submitting your CV and portfolio. We will review your profile and, if you match the criteria, invite you to a brief interview. Once accepted, you’ll be onboarded into our freelancer network. We’ll provide you with our standard freelance terms, rates discussion, NDA process, and the details of how collaboration and payment work.

When projects arise that match your skill-set, we’ll contact you with the brief, timeline, deliverables, and budget. You then decide whether to take on that project. There is no obligation to accept every project, giving you freedom to manage your workload.

You’ll deliver work remotely and submit assets per brief. Final payment is processed according to agreed terms once deliverables are approved.

We value long-term freelance relationships - if you perform well, you may be first-in-line for new briefs, and can build a steady stream of freelance engagements via our network.
