Jobbeschreibung

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to help us shape products at their earliest and roughest stage. We are building a discovery team for the phase before the roadmap is fixed, where ideas are still vague and the right direction has not been chosen yet. You take rough ideas and messy customer problems and turn them into one tangible product direction a team can build. You lead discovery, build strong prototypes, and help teams decide what to build, test, change, or stop.

This is not a delivery role. You move across topics as the work changes and stay hands-on throughout.

{ your_responsibilities: [

• Design with high craft. You turn concepts into high-fidelity prototypes, product flows, and interfaces that feel like a real product. You care about the details and the polish.
• Turn ideas into bold concepts. You think in bold ways and shape strong ideas from vague input. You are a sharp product thinker who knows what is worth building, and you design for the whole product, not separate features.
• Lead early discovery. You frame unclear problems and set hypotheses. You guide teams from first questions to a clear product direction.
• Facilitate alignment. You run workshops, design sprints, and co-creation with Product, Research, Engineering, and Business. You bring the right people in at the right time.

{ following_qualifications_would_be_in_line_with_our_desired_profile_for_this_position: [

• A maker and a doer. You care more about building than talking about it. You know when to move fast and when to slow down for the details that matter.
• Excellent design craft. You know the design basics deeply and produce high visual quality. Your work looks and feels right, and it pushes boundaries.
• You can tell the story. You explain your design choices and their impact so people follow and buy in.
• 6+ years in product design, with strong discovery and design work to show.
• A portfolio of discovery-led case studies that show both strong thinking and high-quality design.
• Strong product thinking and collaboration across Product, Research, Engineering, and Business.
• High standards, low ego. You push for quality and challenge weak ideas without making the work about yourself.
• Comfortable with uncertainty. You enter new topics fast and work without a clean brief.
• Fluency in English and German (C1+).
• You’re passionate about your work, but also know how to enjoy your free time!
