UX Lead

We’re looking for a Senior UX Lead who combines outstanding UX craft with the judgement to guide teams, shape complex digital products, and advise clients at senior level.

You’ll lead UX thinking across smart home, mobility, and professional tools - turning complex challenges into intuitive, desirable experiences. Set the design direction and stay hands-on with the work that brings it to life.

In this role you will…

• Lead UX direction from complex briefs and user needs through concepts, flows, prototypes, and delivery.
• Guide and mentor UX designers, sharing your experience through hands-on feedback and thoughtful design critique.
• Define scalable interaction principles and UX standards for connected platforms and smart ecosystems.
• Act as a trusted UX partner to clients - shaping decisions, challenging assumptions, and building confidence with senior stakeholders.
• Partner closely with Product Owners, Project Managers, researchers, developers, and designers to balance user value, business objectives, and technical feasibility.
• Validate concepts through testing and insights and guide iteration through implementation.
• Ensure a consistent, compelling experience that reflects each client’s brand across touchpoints.

• Extensive hands-on experience in UX, interaction, or digital product design, including responsibility for complex products or ecosystems.
• Excellent UX fundamentals, interaction design skills, accessibility knowledge, and proficiency in Figma and prototyping.
• A track record of leading UX work, mentoring designers, and making sound design decisions.
• Strong communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills; comfortable collaborating directly with senior clients.
• Experience with connected products, smart home, HMI, or technical interfaces is a plus.
• Fluency in both English and German.
