## About the role

##### About the Role

This is a high-ownership design leadership role at a fast-growing AI-powered business communication SaaS company serving SMEs across the DACH region and beyond. You will shape product design, brand, and team direction while staying hands-on, working closely with founders and engineering to ship at high velocity with direct customer access.

##### What You'll Do

- Own end-to-end product design, branding, and design-team leadership, splitting your time roughly equally between hands-on craft and team direction.

- Lead design across three product areas in continuous collaboration with product and engineering stakeholders.

- Conduct regular customer interviews with SME customers such as tradespeople, medical practices, and professional service firms to build deep user understanding.

- Define and maintain the design standard across product, web, and brand.

- Build and scale design systems to ensure consistent execution across multiple product areas.

- Contribute to fast feedback loops with founders and engineers to enable daily releases.

- Leverage modern AI tools to accelerate and enhance the design process.

##### What We're Looking For

- At least five years of end-to-end product design experience with ownership across multiple product areas.

- Proven expertise in Figma, prototyping, and user research including customer interviews.

- Experience leading or mentoring a design team, or a demonstrated readiness to step into that responsibility while remaining hands-on.

- Solid background in building and scaling design systems across a multi-product environment.

- Experience owning brand and website design alongside core product design.

- Analytics-driven mindset: you measure design decisions and iterate based on data.

- Familiarity with modern AI tools such as Cursor, v0, or Claude to accelerate design workflows.

- Native-level German (essential for the DACH market) and good professional English for an international team.

##### Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: **80,000 to 150,000 EUR annually**. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

##### Location

On-site in **Vienna, Austria**.
