Senior/Staff Product Designer
Summary
Clera is seeking a Senior/Staff Product Designer to build AI-powered procurement software for industrial companies. The role involves designing interaction patterns for agentic AI, creating prototypes, and collaborating with engineering to ensure a seamless user experience.
About the Role
This is a Senior/Staff Product Designer role on a small, tight-knit design team building AI-powered procurement software for industrial companies. You'll define how agentic AI capabilities surface for non-technical procurement professionals — making automation feel natural, trustworthy, and genuinely useful. Good design here has a direct, measurable impact on whether customers adopt powerful features and realize real cost savings.
What You'll Do
Define how agentic capabilities present throughout the product, from communicating that the AI is working to surfacing what it found.
Design interaction patterns where AI and human judgment work in concert rather than conflict.
Produce short-horizon (3–6 month) vision work as prototypes and tangible artifacts to guide the team.
Raise product craft and coherence as engineering velocity and feature output increase.
Work directly in code for last-mile polish — checking out PRs and tweaking interactions before shipping.
Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and domain experts to translate complex procurement workflows into usable experiences.
What We're Looking For
5+ years as a senior or staff product designer with a shipped portfolio in B2B SaaS, complex workflows, or data-heavy products.
Well-rounded capabilities spanning visual design, interaction design, product thinking, and code-based prototyping — generalist depth rather than a single specialty.
Practical experience prototyping beyond static mockups; able to build runnable prototypes that communicate intent and behavior.
Thoughtful, principled opinions about how AI should appear in products, with an emphasis on trust, transparency, and appropriate automation.
Comfort operating with ambiguity and inventing new patterns for novel problems.
Regular hands-on use of AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) as part of your design, research, and prototyping workflow.
Bonus: experience designing for non-technical users in complex B2B domains, or prior work with agentic or autonomous AI features.
Location
On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
