Innovation, collaboration and impact - Sara Osama's role as a Senior Product Designer
Your role & team
No day is the same. Every day brings a new challenge and an opportunity to learn something new. This variety keeps the job exciting and allows me to continually grow my skills.
Customer impact. Talking with customers and seeing the real-life impact our work has on their everyday lives and jobs is incredibly rewarding. It’s fulfilling to know that what we create makes a tangible difference.
SmartRecruiters as company
Ownership and autonomy. We have ownership of our own domains and work in triads to drive our own roadmaps. This autonomy empowers us to make significant contributions and decisions.
Continuous learning. SmartRecruiters invests in our development with a dedicated budget for learning. This commitment to growth is something I truly value.
Innovation and project impact
Sara: One project I'm particularly proud of is the recent Slack and MS Teams integration. By bringing SmartRecruiters to the platforms where hiring teams already operate, we’ve streamlined the interview process significantly. It’s gratifying to see firsthand how this integration has made life easier for our users and improved their workflow.
Sara: At SmartRecruiters, teams are empowered to create their own roadmaps. If you can demonstrate a need through customer discovery and data, you’re supported to pursue innovative projects. Additionally, we’re encouraged to suggest new ways of working and share these as experiments with others in the organization. This open-minded approach makes for a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.
Recommendations for prospective candidates
Sara: Take advantage of all the opportunities presented to you. There’s so much to learn and a lot of impact you can make, so be proactive and leverage these opportunities to their fullest potential.
