Product Designer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Product Designer (m/w/d) based in United Kingdom.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
