About the Role

We're a well-funded, Series A AI-powered procurement intelligence platform serving the industrial sector — helping companies modernise how they manage spend, suppliers, and sourcing through a suite of AI agents. Our product is used daily by non-technical procurement professionals who need AI to feel natural, trustworthy, and genuinely useful — not like a black box bolted onto a legacy workflow.

We're hiring a Senior or Staff Product Designer to join a small, high-craft design team embedded closely with product managers, engineers, and domain experts. This is a pivotal role: you'll define how agentic AI capabilities surface in the product — from the moment an agent starts working, through to how findings and recommendations are presented and acted upon. Great design here doesn't just improve usability; it directly determines whether powerful AI features get adopted and whether customers realise real cost savings.

What You'll Do

Define interaction patterns for agentic AI capabilities — covering status states ("the agent is working"), result surfaces ("here's what it found"), and human-in-the-loop collaboration moments.
Design workflows that position AI and human judgment as collaborators, not competitors, with a clear focus on trust and transparency.
Produce short-horizon vision work (3–6 month horizon) as runnable prototypes and tangible artefacts 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 fine-tune interactions before features ship.
Partner with product managers, engineers, and procurement domain experts to translate complex, data-heavy workflows into clear, usable experiences.

What We're Looking For

Required:

Senior-level product design experience with a strong portfolio of shipped work — ideally in B2B SaaS, complex workflows, or data-heavy products.
A "block-shaped" designer: solid across visual design, interaction design, product thinking, and prototyping in code — not a single-specialty generalist.
Demonstrated ability to prototype beyond Figma — you build runnable prototypes that communicate intent, behaviour, and edge cases.
Comfortable checking out PRs and making direct code-level interaction tweaks before shipping (this is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have).
Thoughtful, well-formed opinions on how AI should appear in products — trust, transparency, appropriate automation, and avoiding over-automation.
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and inventing new patterns for genuinely novel problems.
Active daily user of AI tools (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) as part of your research, ideation, and prototyping workflow.

Nice to Have:

Experience designing for non-technical users in complex B2B domains (e.g. procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, finance).
Prior work on agentic or autonomous AI features in a shipped product.
Familiarity with industrial or procurement software contexts.

Location & Work Arrangement

This role is based on-site in Munich, Germany. Candidates must be able to work from the Munich office. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

Why This Role

Work at the frontier of agentic AI product design — inventing patterns that don't yet exist.
Join a well-resourced, Series A company backed by top-tier European and global investors, with strong customer traction in the industrial sector.
Small design team = high ownership, high visibility, and direct impact on product direction.
Collaborate with a team that includes alumni from leading strategy, consulting, and enterprise software organisations.
