Senior / Staff Product Designer

About the Role

We're a fast-growing, Series A-backed AI SaaS company reimagining procurement for mid-sized industrial enterprises. Our platform automates complex, manual procurement workflows - from data maintenance to bid evaluation - through an intuitive, data-driven Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) product used daily by non-technical procurement professionals.

We're looking for a Senior or Staff Product Designer to join our small, high-craft design team in Munich and define how agentic AI capabilities surface in a product that handles real operational complexity. This is a high-impact role: clear, trustworthy design is the difference between powerful AI features being adopted - and saving customers real money - or being ignored.

You'll work on-site in Munich alongside PMs, engineers, and procurement domain experts. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
What You'll Do

• Define how agentic AI capabilities are experienced in the product - from communicating "the agent is working" to presenting what it found and recommending next steps.
• Design interaction patterns where AI and human judgment collaborate naturally, building trust with non-technical users.
• Produce short-horizon vision work (3-6 month horizon) as prototypes and tangible artifacts 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 tweak interactions before they ship.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and domain experts to translate procurement complexity into genuinely usable experiences.
• Define and maintain design systems and component libraries that support consistency at scale.
• Conduct user research and usability testing to ground design decisions in real user needs.

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 design capabilities across visual design, interaction design, product thinking, and prototyping - a "block-shaped" generalist rather than a single-specialty designer.
• Proven experience prototyping beyond Figma - able to build runnable, code-based prototypes that communicate intent and behavior.
• Proficiency with 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.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating impact in AI/ML or data-driven products.
• Ability to collaborate effectively 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 a focus on trust, transparency, and appropriate automation.
• Comfort operating with ambiguity and inventing new patterns for novel problems.
• Regular, hands-on user of AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) in research, ideation, and prototyping workflows.

Nice to Have:

• Experience designing for non-technical users in complex B2B domains (procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, or similar).
• Prior work on agentic or autonomous AI features in a product context.
