The UX team at TomTom shapes how people experience our products — from in-product interfaces to the marketing surfaces that introduce them. We work in close partnership with Product Managers, engineers, and the Marketing design team, and we care equally about craft and outcomes.
We are inviting an early-career designer into the team to explore, with us, what it means to be an AI-native designer —someone who embraces AI as part of their workflow, while thinking critically about quality, usability, systems, and long-term value.
You will work on real product and UI deliverables, contribute to our design system, and help the team identify practical ways AI can improve design workflows and product experience
You will be mentored by a Senior Designer on the team. This is a hands-on role: you will own real work.
Across the six months, you will:
- Run structured experiments with AI tools across the design workflow: ideation, asset variation, prototyping, copy drafting, research synthesis. The goal is not novelty, but identifying what genuinely accelerates design work.
- Contribute to live UI design deliverables — including web and product surfaces — with mentorship and review from the senior designers on the team.
- Document what you learn and share short write-ups or demos with the team, so the whole UX group benefits from your experiments.
- Present your work — to the team, and at least once to a wider audience — building the muscle of explaining design decisions clearly.
We are looking for designer with a strong craft foundation and a genuinely curious, AI-curious mindset.
- AI-native workflow mindset — actively uses AI tools in design, research, prototyping, or production workflows to move faster and think broader.
- Systems thinker with strong reasoning skills — interested in design systems and AI-assisted workflows, able to explain why a solution works, evaluate tradeoffs, and use AI critically rather than blindly.
- Strong product UI/UX fundamentals — visual design sensibility, clean interface design, component thinking, and attention to detail.
- Builder mentality — comfortable experimenting, prototyping quickly, and shipping ideas into production, including through low-code or AI-assisted tools.
- Clear communicator — able to explain ideas and design decisions clearly in writing and conversation.
- Proactive and collaborative — respectful toward different disciplines, open to feedback, and excited to learn.
- Thoughtful perspective on AI in design — has opinions, experiments, or questions about how AI changes the way products are designed and built.
- Experience contributing to a design system, including personal or student projects.
- Basic prototyping, motion, or interaction design skills.
- Familiarity with research synthesis, content design, or AI-assisted content workflows.
- Some exposure to working in cross-functional teams.
