Vicoland is bridging the gap between individual freelancers and enterprise-level projects through a superior type of supplier — the Vico. Join us on our mission to revolutionise the professional services market.

Our SaaS platform provides the legal, organisational and transactional infrastructure that enables freelancers to build teams (Virtual Companies) which can compete with traditional service providers, but without all the organisational overhead. Through Vicoland, clients can run their projects 30 to 50% more cost-efficiently, while freelancers can easily scale their work and access larger projects than anywhere else.

Since our launch 2 years ago, we saw rapid growth, connecting Vicos with several world-renowned clients such as Netflix, AWS, SAP, Smart, Sonderpreis Baumarkt and Colliers. This already garnered media attention - Forbes called Vicoland the "Startup of Startups" and Forrester listed us under the top 7 freelancer marketplaces.

We're laser-focused on our continued growth and are looking for a Senior Product Designer to support us on this journey. Join our cross-functional product organisation, alongside like-minded Product Managers, Product Designers, Engineers, QAs and Agile Coaches.
