Your role at Kittl

You will own design and product outcomes across one of Kittl's core surfaces, shaping the experiences that turn first-time consumer and prosumer users into repeat creators. Reporting to the Head of Product Design, you'll operate as a direct peer to PM and Engineering, bringing user evidence, strategic thinking, and a strong point of view to product decisions. You'll own the second half of product management: translating strategy into requirements, managing project timelines, coordinating with engineering, and driving features from concept to launch. Your work will directly influence activation, retention, and the quality of the AI‑assisted creation experience millions of creators depend on.

What you'll do

• Own product outcomes end-to-end: Take full ownership from problem framing and research through shipping, measurement, and iteration
• Lead design of complex features: Design sophisticated product features with high visual craft and strategic product thinking
• Raise the craft bar: Hold a high quality standard in visual and interaction design, elevating it through critique and pairing with peers
• Manage the build: Coordinate with engineering, ensure quality throughout development, and own go‑to‑market readiness
• Build reusable patterns: Contribute to Kittl's evolving design process, designing system and emerging AI patterns

What you'll need

• Experience: Minimum 6 years designing digital products, with at least 2 years shipping consumer or prosumer products at scale
• Portfolio: Strong portfolio showing end-to-end ownership including research, interaction design, visual craft, product thinking, and measurable impact of shipped work
• Product ownership readiness: Demonstrated ability or clear readiness to step into product management responsibilities - managing timelines, coordinating stakeholders
• AI design experience: Hands‑on experience designing for AI‑driven or generative product surfaces, with focus on embedding AI for genuine user value
• Principled decision‑making: Balances user needs, product constraints, and strategic direction to find the best feasible path forward through thoughtful compromise and clear decision‑making
• Bias for action: High quality bar combined with speed, comfort with ambiguity, and willingness to step beyond pure design into product ownership and execution

Interview process

• Recruiter interview (30 min)
• Hiring manager interview with Head of Product Design (60 min)

We are looking for someone

• Exceptionally driven to drive impact and challenge the status quo
• Who takes extreme ownership & gets things done
• Who goes above and beyond in their role
• Who is deeply passionate about what they do

Benefits

• Maximise your impact: No matter if you're leading a team or you stand out by your domain expertise - all we care about is supporting you to maximise your own impact
• Hackathons: Our hackathons provide an environment to experiment with new concepts, push boundaries, and potentially deliver the next big thing
• Kittl Week: Each year, our global team gathers together for a whole week, to work, celebrate, get inspired, and have fun
• Flexible working hours: Our core hours are 11am–5pm CET, leaving the rest of your schedule flexible to fit your style
