Senior Product Designer (m/w/d)

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.
