Senior Designer
About this role
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.

- 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 — includi
