As Senior Product Designer (m/f/d), you act as the de facto Head of Product Design for DocuWare’s corporate startup One Workspace. You hold end-to-end responsibility for the user experience of our new SaaS product - from shaping strategic direction to delivering hands-on design solutions. 

This role empowers a designer who has evolved from crafting screens to designing product strategy, focusing on outcomes rather than mere output. AI agents support execution-heavy tasks under your supervision, so you can concentrate on the work that requires genuine human judgment: defining what to build, how it should feel, and why a given direction is right. You manage research agencies for exploratory studies and conduct hands-on interviews and contextual research yourself.

Your responsibilities include:

• Defining UX strategy, design principles, and a scalable design system from scratch.
• Taking full ownership of the user experience, leading research, ideation, prototyping, UI design, and UX writing.
• Co-leading product discovery with the Senior Product Owner, turning complex problems and hypotheses into user-centered solutions.
• Setting up, directing, and overseeing AI agents as part of the design and research process.
• Planning, conducting, and synthesizing user research - including interviews, usability tests, and collaborations with external partners—and translating insights into actionable, evidence-based recommendations.
• Designing intuitive interaction models for AI-assisted workflows, ensuring transparency and trustworthiness of agent behavior.
• Facilitating design reviews, workshops, and discovery sprints to align product, engineering, and stakeholders with your vision.

• You hold a degree in Interaction Design, HCI, Product Design, or equivalent practical experience.
• You bring several years of product design experience and a clear progression toward product strategy and outcome ownership, especially in complex B2B SaaS environments.
• You have hands-on experience with 0-to-1 product development - designing products from scratch and delivering to real users.
• You actively use AI tools for synthesis, ideation, and documentation, and are driven to expand their use systematically through multi-agent setups.
• You excel at discovery leadership: from planning and moderating research to synthesizing insights and translating them into actionable design direction.
• You are experienced in working with or managing external UX research agencies and design partners.
• You design for scalability from day one, considering the overall product architecture beyond individual screens.
• You have designed for AI-powered products or human-AI interaction patterns, and embrace an AI-first mindset.
• You communicate and facilitate effectively across teams and stakeholders. You are fluent in English; German is a plus.
