Senior / Staff Product Designer

About the Role

We're a well-funded, Series A AI-powered procurement intelligence platform serving the industrial sector — helping companies modernise how they manage spend, suppliers, and sourcing through a suite of AI agents. Our product is used daily by non-technical procurement professionals who need AI to feel natural, trustworthy, and genuinely useful — not like a black box bolted onto a legacy workflow.

We're hiring a Senior or Staff Product Designer to join a small, high-craft design team embedded closely with product managers, engineers, and domain experts. This is a pivotal role: you'll define how agentic AI capabilities surface in the product — from the moment an agent starts working, through to how findings and recommendations are presented and acted upon. Great design here doesn't just improve usability; it directly determines whether powerful AI features get adopted and whether customers realise real cost savings.

What You'll Do

• Define interaction patterns for agentic AI capabilities — covering status states ("the agent is working"), result surfaces ("here's what it found"), and human-in-the-loop collaboration moments.

• Design workflows that position AI and human judgment as collaborators, not competitors, with a clear focus on trust and transparency.

• Produce short-horizon vision work (3–6 month horizon) as runnable prototypes and tangible artefacts that align and guide the broader team.

• 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 fine-tune interactions before features ship.

• Partner with product managers, engineers, and procurement domain experts to translate complex, data-heavy workflows into clear, usable experiences.

What We're Looking For

Required:

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

• A "block-shaped" designer: solid across visual design, interaction design, product thinking, and prototyping in code — not a single-specialty generalist.

• Demonstrated ability to prototype beyond Figma — you build runnable prototypes that communicate intent, behaviour, and edge cases.

• Comfortable checking out PRs and making direct code-level interaction tweaks before shipping (this is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have).

• Thoughtful, well-formed opinions on how AI should appear in products — trust, transparency, appropriate automation, and avoiding over-automation.

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

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

Nice to Have:

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

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

• Familiarity with industrial or procurement software contexts.

Location & Work Arrangement

This role is based on-site in Munich, Germany. Candidates must be able to work from the Munich office. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

Why This Role

• Work at the frontier of agentic AI product design — inventing patterns that don't yet exist.

• Join a well-resourced, Series A company backed by top-tier European and global investors, with strong customer traction in the industrial sector.

• Small design team = high ownership, high visibility, and direct impact on product direction.

• Collaborate with a team that includes alumni from leading strategy, consulting, and enterprise software organisations.
