Key result: change accelerates from annual strategy meetings to daily implementation.\nWe are the digital platform for 1:1 and AI coaching powering leading global brands, such as IKEA, Porsche, and LVMH. Behind thousands of successful leaders and top talent stands a Sharpist coach.\nWhat you'll do here at Sharpist\nAs a Senior Product Designer (f/m/x), you will have a true impact in changing how companies transform mindsets and behavior across their entire workforce globally. You will play a key role in contributing to the design and delivery of our hybrid human + AI coaching experience, and you will primarily be responsible for designing high-quality product experiences. You do this by helping our client companies drive their strategic and employee-development goals through Sharpist's unique approach: digital coaching backed by a strong learner experience across our apps. This means you get to work with some of the most exciting brands in DACH and globally, including names such as IKEA, LVMH or GetYourGuide.\nIn your role you will design solutions across our product: the web and mobile learner app, coach and internal platforms, and enterprise client dashboard. You won't be boxed into one area: you work on whatever matters most in the moment, from the learner-facing moments people love to the workflows behind the scenes.\nYou own the full cycle: framing the problem, shaping the solution, and prototyping it into something real and interactive rather than stopping at static mockups. You're a builder at heart: when you have an idea, your instinct is to make it tangible, put it in front of people, and iterate. You work closely with the lead designer, who owns the design vision, and partner with our product engineers to take work from concept to shipped experience.\nYou work AI-first. AI is your default across the whole process: exploring directions and synthesizing research, and especially prototyping, where you use modern AI build tools to stand up working prototypes without hand-coding everything. You have judgment about when the output is good and when to override it, and you're always looking for the next tool or technique that lets you build better.\nYou're also a systems thinker. You see the underlying structure, not just the surface: you make complex things simple, design for reuse and consistency, and think about how one decision holds up across the whole product. Throughout, you don't compromise on excellent craft. And you bring an enabling mindset: you're the kind of person who helps others around you make better design decisions, whether that's engineers, the wider team, or new ways of working, and you help push that culture forward alongside us.\nWithin 1 month, you will…\nGet a complete understanding of our product surfaces beginning with learner mobile and web apps, and enterprise dashboard: who uses what, on which platform, and what each surface is trying to achieve for its users, and get familiar with our design system and tools\n\nGet to know how the product trio works (how we source problems, craft them, and run spikes) and start contributing your own observations\n\nGet hands-on early: pick up a real problem and start exploring solutions in collaboration with the team, rather than only observing\n\nEstablish your AI-first design-and-prototyping workflow (e.g. research synthesis, prototyping acceleration) and share it with the team so others can benefit\n\nWithin 1 quarter, you will…\nOwn an end-to-end product design cycle: run discovery (or a design spike), translate insights into clear design decisions, and turn them into working, interactive prototypes the team can test and feel, not just describe\n\nHelp make our design quality bar explicit and shared, so it shows up consistently in what gets shipped\n\nPartner with engineering (who also own data) to define what to measure and how to validate impact\n\nWithin 1 year, you will…\nTake ownership across whichever product areas need you most, become a reliable source of well-framed problems for the trio, and help shape the vision for Sharpist's hybrid human + AI coaching experience\n\nCreate and standardize design patterns for our hybrid coaching experience (including conversational/adaptive AI interactions), while keeping the coach and learner in control\n\nUse your systems thinking to keep our growing product coherent, designing patterns and structures that scale, in close partnership with the lead designer\n\nHelp raise the whole team's ability to design and build well: champion better design decisions across engineering and the team, and drive forward new tools and AI-first ways of working\n\nAnd then, what's next?\nUse your product design expertise to help shape the right direction for broader business impact\n\nExtend your influence across the product, from the learner hybrid coaching experience to coach and enterprise surfaces, wherever the biggest opportunities are\n\nRequirements\nPrimary qualifications\n5+ years as a product designer (ideally across mobile and web), with strong UX and UI fundamentals and strong end-to-end thinking (problem framing, flow, interaction, visual execution)\n\nA portfolio that shows not just polished design, but things you've made real: prototypes, working demos, or products people actually used\n\nA builder's mindset: your instinct is to make ideas tangible fast, learn, and iterate. You're scrappy and resourceful, and you don't wait for perfect conditions to start\n\nAn AI-first workflow: AI is your default across design and prototyping, and you can turn a concept into something real and interactive with modern AI build tools (v0, Lovable, Cursor, Framer), with the judgment to know when the output is good and when to override it\n\nA systems thinker who sees underlying structure, makes complex things simple, and designs for reuse and consistency\n\nA track record of proactively identifying problems worth solving, not only executing on a defined brief, and a genuine hunger to pick up new skills, tools, and technologies\n\nAn enabling mindset: you like helping the people around you make better design decisions, and you raise the level of the team rather than keeping craft to yourself\n\nComfort owning the end-to-end product design cycle in a lean product trio (lead designer, lead engineer, senior front-end engineer) with no PM layer, iterating quickly, often side-by-side with engineering\n\nProficiency with Figma, and strong writing and communication skills in English\n\nBased in Berlin or willing to relocate (hybrid working model)\n\nYou don't need to check every box. If you're a strong product designer with a builder's mindset who's excited to work AI-first, we want to hear from you.\nPreferred qualifications\nBonus: experience shipping with a front-end framework (React, Vue, or similar)\n\nExperience designing (or strong informed opinions about) conversational / LLM-based experiences and the UX patterns they require\n\nExperience with Tech/SaaS and L&D/HR\n\nExperience designing B2B/enterprise dashboards or data-heavy interfaces\n\nFamiliarity with motion/animation, design tokens, Storybook, or component tooling\n\nGreat presentation skills and confidence when engaging with decision-makers\n\nGerman language skills are a plus\n\nWhat we offer:\nUnlimited Coaching Sessions: Access certified coaches to support your personal and professional growth whenever you need it.\n\nHybrid Working Mode: Enjoy the flexibility of working both remotely and on-site.\n\nCompany Pension Scheme (bAV): Plan for your future with our attractive retirement savings program.\n\nYearly Training Budget: Invest in your development with a dedicated budget for courses, workshops, and certifications.\n\nFree Drinks, Snacks, and Fruits: Stay energized and fueled throughout the day with complimentary refreshments.\n\nQuarterly Magnetic Week: Connect with your colleagues during fun-filled events designed to inspire and engage.\n\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and we encourage people of every ethnic background, gender, ability, and sexual orientation to apply.\nApply now if this captures your interest and you want to take part in the personalisation of learning for every employee worldwide.
