Are you a seasoned design generalist with a passion for shaping the future of a brand and product from the ground up?

We're looking for a talented Founding Designer to join our team and help build a strong design culture. As a key member of our team, you'll be responsible for owning the entire brand identity of the company in its early days, from the way our brand appears online and offline to owning our touch-points with prospective clients.

This is an on-site position based in Berlin, where you'll collaborate closely with our team to create a best-in-class product experience.

Core Responsibilities
  • Brand Identity: Develop and maintain a consistent brand identity that reflects our company values and mission.
  • Product Design: Collaborate with our engineering team to design and iterate on our product, ensuring a seamless user experience.
  • Maintaining of consistency: Establish and uphold a detailed design system that facilitates rapid iterations and updates to our product.

  • Startup Experience: Proven track record of working on diverse products, preferably with a B2B focus.
  • Multiple Persona Management: Experience in working on complex, multi-persona products.
  • Design Expertise: 8-10 years of professional experience in product design.

  • Design Stack: High proficiency with industry-standard design tools (i.e. Figma, etc.)
  • System Design Competency: Strong experience in managing and evolving design systems.
What We Avoid
  • Running Large Teams: Preference for candidates who thrive in hands-on roles rather than managing large teams.
  • Dependency on External Teams: Candidates who rely heavily on external resources (tools, budget, etc.) to deliver designs are currently not a great fit.
  • Rigid Execution: Preference for designers who do not strictly adhere to rigid methodologies like cross-functional team setups or two-week sprints.
Soft Skills
  • Clear communicator: Excellent at conveying design concepts to team members and clients. Comfortable engaging with (prospective) customers for research and ideation.
  • Autonomous and Pragmatic: Skilled at independently framing problems, designing solutions, and executing tasks. Pragmatic in balancing idealism with practical constraints.
  • Focused Execution: Thrives in a hands-on role, prioritizing practical outcomes over leadership or management responsibilities.
Based in Berlin: We are unfortunately not able to sponsor visas - for this role, you will need to possess an existing EU/German work permit.
