Senior Product Designer (m/f/d)

At Klim, we work with farmers and businesses to make regenerative agriculture a scalable and economically viable part of the food system. As a German AgriTech company, we empower farmers in improving soil health, increasing biodiversity, and capturing carbon, while generating reliable income through our platform.

Backed by €22 million in Series A funding, we are scaling our impact internationally and partnering with clients from the food and non-food industry. Since 2020, we have worked with more than 4,000 farmers across 900,000 hectares, covering more than 5% of Germany’s agricultural land.

If you are motivated by building a more sustainable food system and contributing to measurable climate impact, Klim offers the opportunity to do so at scale.

Your mission:

Own the design experience of Klim end to end, and build the AI-augmented design process that lets a small design team and product managers ship coherent, high-quality work at scale. You'll do the hardest design work yourself and raise the level of everyone who designs around you. This means it is a player/coach role with 60% hands-on design and 40% building the system and process around you.

What you'll do

Product experience:

• Own the end-to-end experience across farmer and partner journeys, from onboarding through assessment, planning and improvement, verification and reporting and paymnet, shaping journeys and value moments with product managers, not only interfaces.
• Design the most complex and brand-critical work, from wireframes and flows to polished, high-fidelity interaction and visual design.
• Cut farmer effort, with a focus on "enter once, used everywhere" data capture, simpler onboarding and self-serve help.
• Run continuous research, usability testing and A/B tests with farmers and partners, and track experience metrics (activation, task completion, time-to-value, satisfaction) with product and analytics.

AI-augmented design process:

• Own and deliver Klim's AI-augmented design model maintaining highest quality while enabling others to deliver simpler design needs under your guidance
• Own the canonical design system with engineering: components and page templates, with code as the source of truth and Figma kept in sync.
• Define the handoff contract and the automated and human coherence checks, using AI tooling (e.g. Claude Code, Claude Design, Figma, Storybook) and rules AI tools can follow.
• Measure and improve the process: self-serve share, first-pass coherence, review time, engineering rework and ticket-to-design lead time.

Engineering efficiency and quality:

• Partner with engineering leads to simplify and standardise how UI is built, so new features reuse proven patterns instead of starting from scratch.
• Reduce design-related rework by making requirements, states and edge cases explicit before build.
• Govern the intake of new patterns and log any exceptions, so the system grows deliberately rather than drifting.

Coach:

• Enable product managers to design simpler elements well within the system through templates, patterns, content rules and review.
• Build design rituals (critique, design reviews, a shared quality bar) and make the case for design decisions with evidence across product, engineering and commercial teams.

What you bring:

• 5+ years in product design, including senior or lead roles owning complex B2B or data-heavy products end to end.
• Exceptional interaction and visual design craft, with mastery of Figma. You'll personally deliver the most complex and brand-critical work.
• A portfolio that shows product-level impact (engagement, adoption, satisfaction), not only interface quality.
• Proven ability to improve engagement and strong plus for experience running A/B tests and product experiments and strong research skills.
• Proven experience building and running a design system with engineering, ideally in React and Storybook, with tokens and components treated as code.
• Hands-on use of AI tools in design and delivery (e.g. Claude, Figma AI or similar), and a clear view of where they help and where they don't.
• A track record of designing processes others adopt, coaching designers and enabling non-designers, while still doing strong hands-on work.
• Clear communication with farmers, engineers and executives alike. Fluent English.

Nice to have:

• German, to speak directly with farmers.
• Experience in agriculture, climate, sustainability or other multi-sided platforms.
• Experience with multi-language products and content design.
