Senior Product Designer (m/w/d)

Job description

Accountabilities: Own the end-to-end UI/UX design for complex, workflow-driven digital products, balancing usability, functionality, and customer needs. Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and other stakeholders throughout the product lifecycle, from problem definition and discovery through solution development and delivery. Conduct and contribute to qualitative and quantitative research, including user interviews, shadowing, usability testing, and workshops, and translate findings into evidence-based design decisions. Create wireframes, interaction flows, visual assets, mockups, and low- and high-fidelity prototypes using a structured and iterative design process. Validate proposed solutions through research, testing, and feedback rather than relying solely on intuition. Analyze existing product experiences to identify friction and improvement opportunities, then rapidly iterate through a continuous make, learn, and improve cycle. Contribute to and evolve the existing design system, ensuring design work is consistent, scalable, and properly documented. Take ownership of the design direction within your product domain and ensure that meaningful improvements to the user experience are delivered during the assignment. Establish strong working relationships with Product and Engineering, becoming a trusted design partner in team-level decision-making. Document your work and embed relevant outcomes into the design system so that your contributions remain useful beyond the assignment. Requirements: 5+ years of professional experience designing digital products, supported by a portfolio demonstrating depth in complex, workflow-oriented software. Strong experience in B2B products or other complex domains where usability and business workflows require thoughtful problem solving. Fluent German, both written and spoken, for working with product users and customers, alongside strong English skills for internal collaboration. Advanced proficiency with Figma, including experience creating and extending design systems. Proven ability to conduct and apply qualitative and quantitative user research to validate design decisions. Experience working collaboratively with Product Management and Engineering throughout the full product development lifecycle. A customer-focused mindset, with strong empathy, curiosity, creativity, and the ability to understand and simplify complex problems. A self-directed and collaborative working style, with the confidence to challenge assumptions and contribute ideas rather than simply execute predefined concepts. Practical experience using AI within the design workflow, including areas such as exploration, early concepts, research synthesis, and design iteration. Experience in manufacturing, procurement, logistics, or another industrial domain is a strong advantage. Experience working within international and cross-functional product teams is beneficial. Benefits: Fully remote work within Europe, with the option to work from Stuttgart. Full-time employment on an initial fixed-term contract of approximately 12 months as parental-leave cover. Potential for the role to become permanent if an additional product team is established during the assignment, although this cannot be guaranteed. Genuine product ownership and the opportunity to influence solutions from problem definition through final implementation. Close collaboration with Product and Engineering in an experienced, international, cross-functional environment. Flexible working arrangements designed to support different lifestyles and working preferences. Flexible benefits options, including monthly vouchers and access to Wellpass / EGYM. The opportunity to work on a technology-driven product within a traditional industrial market undergoing significant digital transformation. A role where your design work can create measurable improvements to customer experience rather than simply delivering against predefined briefs.
