Senior / Staff Product Designer

About the Role

We're a well-funded (Series A), fast-growing AI procurement intelligence company based in Munich, Germany, building software that helps industrial companies optimize purchasing and supply chain operations. Our product is used daily by non-technical procurement professionals, and AI agents sit at the core of what we do.

We're looking for a Senior or Staff Product Designer to define how agentic AI capabilities surface in our product — making AI feel natural, trustworthy, and genuinely useful for people who aren't data scientists or engineers. You'll join a small, senior design team working closely with product managers, engineers, and domain experts in a product that directly impacts real cost savings for customers.

This is an on-site role in Munich. Visa sponsorship is not available.

What You'll Do

• Define how agentic AI capabilities present in the product — from communicating "the agent is working" through to "here's what it found."

• Design interaction patterns where AI and human judgment collaborate rather than compete, with a focus on trust and transparency.

• Produce short-horizon vision work (3–6 month outlook) as prototypes and tangible artifacts that guide engineering and product teams.

• Raise overall product craft and coherence as engineering velocity and feature output scale.

• Work directly in code for last-mile polish — check out PRs and tweak interactions before features ship.

• Collaborate across product management, engineering, and procurement domain experts to translate complex workflows into usable experiences.

• Define and maintain design systems and component libraries to ensure consistency at scale.

• Conduct user research and usability testing with non-technical procurement professionals to continuously sharpen product decisions.

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Senior-level product designer with a strong portfolio of shipped product work — ideally in B2B SaaS, complex workflows, or data-heavy products.

• Broad ("block-shaped") skill set spanning visual design, interaction design, product thinking, and prototyping in code — not a single-specialty T-shape.

• Practical experience prototyping beyond Figma — able to build runnable prototypes that clearly communicate intent and behavior.

• Proficiency in Figma and familiarity with related tools (FigJam, Sketch, InVision, or similar).

• Experience defining and maintaining design systems and component libraries.

• Experience conducting user research and usability testing to inform product decisions.

• Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams (product, engineering, data science) in a fast-paced environment.

• Thoughtful, well-formed opinions about how AI should appear in products — with emphasis on trust, transparency, and appropriate levels of automation.

• Regular user of AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) as part of your research, ideation, and prototyping workflow.

• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and inventing new interaction patterns for genuinely novel problems.

Nice to Have:

• Experience designing for non-technical users in complex B2B domains (e.g., procurement, manufacturing, supply chain, ERP-adjacent).

• Prior work designing agentic or autonomous AI features in a shipped product.

• Background at enterprise software companies (e.g., SAP, Celonis, or similar process-intelligence platforms).
