Cover Letter Sample

I am excited to apply for the Senior Product Designer (Customer Success) role at refurbed. With over 5 years of experience designing intuitive digital products, I have owned end-to-end experiences in complex, ambiguous spaces—exactly what this role demands. I am passionate about leveraging AI to enhance product experiences, and I have a proven track record of iterating from small tests to impactful solutions.

At my previous company, I led the redesign of a post-purchase support system that reduced customer effort scores by 30% while increasing self-service adoption. I thrive on collaborating with product and engineering as an equal partner, using data and research to challenge assumptions and drive user-centric outcomes. Your mission to make sustainable consumption the easy choice deeply resonates with me, and I am eager to bring my design perspective to shape the future of AI-augmented customer experiences.

Sample Interview Questions

Can you describe a time you designed an end-to-end experience that involved multiple systems or partners you didn't control?

At my previous role, I designed a returns experience that involved coordinating with a third-party logistics provider, our internal warehouse management system, and customer support tools. I mapped out the user journey, identified friction points across systems, and proposed a unified interface that abstracted the backend complexity. By prototyping and testing with real users, we reduced return processing time by 25% and improved customer satisfaction scores.

How have you used AI in your design process to raise quality or speed?

I actively use AI tools for ideation, such as generating multiple design variations quickly and testing content hierarchies. For a customer support redesign, I used natural language processing models to analyze chat logs and identify common user intents, which informed the design of a proactive self-service flow. This allowed me to iterate faster and validate concepts with real data before high-fidelity design.

This role involves working in ambiguous spaces with incomplete briefs. Describe a project where you started small and iterated to a bigger outcome.

When tasked with improving the delivery tracking experience, I started with a simple MVP: a single text message with tracking updates. After observing user engagement, I expanded to a mobile-friendly tracking page with proactive notifications. Over six months, through continuous A/B testing, we added features like delivery window adjustments and driver contact, ultimately reducing support tickets by 40%.

How would you approach designing an AI-augmented support experience that balances automation with human touch?

I would start by mapping the customer journey to identify high-friction, low-complexity issues best handled by automation, and complex, emotional issues requiring human empathy. For automation, I'd design conversational flows with clear escalation paths. I'd collaborate with data science to monitor AI performance and iterate based on customer feedback. The goal is a seamless handoff between bot and human, ensuring customers feel understood, not abandoned.

Tell us about a time you presented a design decision that received pushback, and how you handled it.

I proposed redesigning the checkout flow to reduce steps, but the product manager was concerned about conversion risk. Instead of insisting, I ran a controlled A/B test with a small traffic segment. The test showed a 10% lift in completion rate, which addressed the concerns. I also prepared a presentation explaining the user research behind the changes, which helped align the team and secure buy-in for a full rollout.

Founded in 2017, refurbed is Europe’s fastest-growing marketplace for refurbished products, active in 23 European countries and having surpassed €2Bn in GMV — all while being profitable. With beautiful headquarters in Vienna, we operate as a remote-first company and have been recognised as a Top DACH Employer by Kununu for three consecutive years.

Our mission is to make sustainable consumption the easy choice by enabling customers to buy products up to 40% cheaper while significantly reducing CO₂ emissions.

If you thrive in an environment that values momentum, ownership, and impact, you’ll feel at home here. We’re a fast-paced, high-performance team that works hard and challenges itself everyday. To enable this high-performance every team member enjoys full autonomy over their location (we’re remote-first).

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to shape the future of post-purchase experience at refurbed: everything from delivery, to returns, repairs and replacements, to how customers get support when something goes wrong.

Customer service at refurbed is changing fast. We’re moving from reactive ticket handling toward a proactive, AI-augmented support experience that customers trust and even enjoy. You’ll bring the design perspective to that shift over the next several years, working across a complex space with sellers, carriers, and service partners all playing a role.

This is not a role for polishing individual screens. Day-to-day execution happens within squads you collaborate closely with. Your job is the bigger picture: spotting the big bets worth making, and making sure the experience holds together as one journey.

WHO YOU ARE

You have 5+ years of experience designing intuitive digital products. You’ve owned meaningful parts of a product experience, not just contributed screens to someone else’s plan.
You’ve worked in ambiguous spaces before. You’re used to starting small, testing an idea before committing to it, and iterating your way to bigger outcomes rather than waiting for a fully scoped brief.
You use AI to make your own work sharper and faster. You stay close to the fast-moving AI space, and you actively look for new ways of working that raise the quality and speed of what you produce. This isn’t a checkbox skill, it’s part of how you operate.
You’ve designed across systems or partners you didn’t control. Maybe that meant other companies, other teams, or legacy systems you couldn’t rebuild. You know how to create something coherent for the user despite that complexity.
You’ve challenged an established process or constraint when it got in the way of the customer, and you know which constraints are worth pushing on and which ones you need to work within for now.
You’ve used data or research to test your own assumptions, not just to confirm the direction you already wanted to go.
You’ve presented and defended design decisions to people who pushed back, and revised your thinking when the feedback was right.
You’ve worked closely with product and engineering as an equal partner, not as a downstream design resource waiting for requirements.

Bonus, not a must: experience designing for customer support, post-purchase, or ecommerce. An even bigger bonus: you’ve designed AI-assisted or conversational product experiences. Few people have, but if you have, we want to talk to you.

Location & eligibility: This role is open to candidates based in Europe (including UK) only with a valid right to work.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You shape the end-to-end delivery and post-purchase experience: from tracking and delivery actions customers take themselves, to how issues get resolved (returns, replacements, repairs) and how support works when a customer needs help.
You own the UX of our AI-augmented support experience: the look, feel, and end-to-end experience across conversational and human touchpoints, as our support model evolves over the next several years.
You help decide which problems in this space are worth solving next, backed by evidence and real customer understanding, rather than picking up pre-scoped tickets.
You work closely with peers across squads to keep the experience coherent. Different teams own different parts of this journey. You make sure it still feels like one relationship with refurbed from the customer’s side.
You shape how customers, sellers, carriers, and service partners interact within the experience, balancing customer needs with what’s realistic for each partner to deliver.
