About Studio Direction
Studio Direction is a design-led digital studio that transforms ideas into meaningful digital experiences. We partner with startups and scale-ups to craft intuitive, human-centered digital products that solve real problems and drive revenue. Led by designers, we’re about transforming concepts into reality: guiding projects from their nascent stages through to MVP and beyond, using design as a framework to solve complex challenges and the most modern digital marketing techniques to drive acquisition and scale.
At the heart of StudioDirection is a commitment to being at the forefront of digital expertise, utilising AI to ensure rapid market entry with visually captivating designs for products and ventures that scale fast.
Every engagement starts with discovery: it is how the studio thinks, the first real touchpoint clients have with us, and the foundation everything else is built on. You will own it.
What you’ll do
- Planning and leading stakeholder interviews and client workshops at the start of every engagement
- Owning research planning and synthesis: deciding what we need to learn, running the research, and turning raw findings into clear insight
- Mapping user and customer journeys that ground design decisions in how people actually behave
- Driving feature mapping and prioritization: what we build, what we cut, and why
- Defining sitemaps, information architecture, and user flows for websites and digital products
- Framing projects: sharpening the problem, setting scope and success criteria, and aligning the client and the team around them
- Translating findings into concrete requirements and recommendations the delivery team can act on
- Documenting decisions so the reasoning behind the work is never lost between phases
- Running a structured handoff to Brand, Web, and Product designers, and staying available for questions
- Providing strategic continuity during production: keeping the work honest to the direction as the project evolves
What we’re looking for
- 5+ years in UX, product, or design strategy; agency or consultancy experience strongly preferred
- A proven facilitator: confident planning and running workshops and interviews with senior client stakeholders, in excellent English
- Strong at synthesis, and fast: you turn messy inputs into structure, priorities, and a defensible point of view within tight discovery timelines
- A case you can walk us through: a discovery, strategy, or redesign engagement where your framing shaped what got built
- Bonus points: analytics and research tools as inputs to strategy; B2B and SaaS clients; Webflow and modern web stacks
Why join and how to apply
- Compensation starting from €2,000 net per month, and up depending on seniority
- A defined, respected role with direct access to leadership: discovery is how the studio thinks, not a support function
- A senior in-house team in Belgrade, most with 7 to over 10 years in the industry, with a Project Manager keeping collaboration smooth
- Full-time employment, team performance bonuses, private health insurance, educational courses and conferences, Apple work equipment, and genuinely great energy!
