Senior Product Designer, Growth (d/f/m) - fixed-term contract - 18 months

What you will do

As a Senior Product Designer in our Growth domain, you will shape experiences that drive user growth, engagement, and retention across Kleinanzeigen, helping millions of users stay connected, discover relevant opportunities, and actively participate in our marketplace.

As part of the team, you will play a key role in bringing together AI-driven activities and relevant interactions around trading and searching. You will also shape notification experiences that help users return to Kleinanzeigen and engage with the platform in meaningful ways.

You’ll own design across the entire product development lifecycle: From early discovery and problem framing to concept development, prototyping, delivery, and continuous iteration. Working closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, and data specialists, you’ll create intuitive, personalised, and impactful experiences that support sustainable user growth.

As part of the broader Product Design team, you’ll regularly exchange ideas, participate in design reviews, and contribute to a strong, collaborative design culture across the organisation.

The Growth domain focuses on attracting, engaging, and retaining users, ensuring Kleinanzeigen remains relevant throughout their buying and selling journeys. Your work will directly influence how users discover opportunities, return to the platform, and stay active, strengthening user retention, marketplace activity, and long-term growth.

• Shape the future of Kleinanzeigen, designing intuitive experiences that connect users with relevant activities across buying, selling, and searching, driving engagement and retention.
• Lead user discovery and experimentation, combining qualitative research, behavioural data, and AI-assisted analysis to identify user needs, uncover opportunities, and validate design hypotheses.
• Leverage AI-powered design tools and workflows to accelerate ideation, explore concepts, build interactive prototypes, and rapidly test and iterate on solutions, from early exploration to production-ready designs, including implementing smaller improvements directly in code.
• Design intelligent, personalised, and trustworthy user experiences, including AI-driven interactions and notification journeys, while ensuring transparency, user control, accessibility, and consistency.
• Partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Researchers, and Data specialists to turn insights into measurable improvements, using experimentation, usability testing, and growth metrics to continuously optimise the user experience.
• Contribute to scalable design systems and a collaborative design culture, sharing knowledge, exploring emerging AI design practices, and helping evolve how we design and build products at Kleinanzeigen.

• Experience with user research, usability testing, and data-informed experimentation, using qualitative and quantitative insights to validate solutions and drive measurable improvements in engagement and retention.
• A collaborative, hands-on mindset, comfortable sharing work early, embracing feedback, and working closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Researchers, and other stakeholders.
