Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Build and lead the design team of ~4 product designers. Set the bar for craft, speed, and strategic impact. Establish design as a true partner in the product trio, not a service function.
  • Define the interaction paradigm for a product where AI agents execute procurement workflows autonomously and buyers supervise, steer, and handle exceptions. You'll develop the mental models, patterns, and UI frameworks for it.
  • Own and evolve our design system and component architecture that coding agents can reliably work within. Your frameworks need to be precise enough for LLM-driven development and flexible enough for rapid iteration.
  • Make deeply technical procurement concepts (should-costing, raw material indices, contract leakage) accessible and actionable for users who are not data analysts. Turn complexity into clarity.
  • Drive user understanding on a company level by implementing best practices around user & UX research and be an advocate of our users within Tacto. Make sure every function is focused on solving real user problems.

Requirements

  • 6+ years in product design, with 2+ years leading design teams at high-growth technology companies known for design excellence
  • Strong collaborator with product and engineering to get to the best possible results for customers and the business
  • Deep experience designing for data-heavy, workflow-driven products. You know how to make information density an asset
  • Strong systems thinking. You design in frameworks and patterns, not just screens
  • Genuine fluency with AI as a design material. You've thought seriously about how LLMs, agents, and automation change what design even means, and you have a point of view on where it's going
  • You can move between strategic leadership and hands-on craft when needed
  • Fluent in English. German is a plus but not required
Benefits
  • 26 + 4 vacation days per year (4 fixed “company rest days”)
  • Wellpass membership and access to Jobrad, for your health
  • Additional voluntary pension contribution and KITA subsidy, for you and your family’s future
  • Competitive salary & meaningful equity stake, so you are invested in our success
