Role Overview

The company is looking for an experienced UX designer with a strong focus on user research to start immediately. The role sits in a complex B2B environment and combines research, interaction design, visual design, and close collaboration with product and engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently plan and carry out research activities and help shape the research process, including interviews, usability testing, and observations in real usage settings.
• Identify and analyse complex user problems before design solutions are created.
• Design well-considered interactions for demanding B2B products, covering areas such as search, filtering, navigation, and AI-assisted workflows.
• Work closely with development teams, understand technical implementation, and actively contribute to the design-to-code process.
• Create and maintain UI components and help build and evolve a shared design system.
• Make sound quality judgments, including under time pressure, while balancing user needs and product goals.
• Collaborate with UX leads, product owners, and subject matter experts, while naturally using AI-enabled workflows in day-to-day work.

Profile and Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in UX/UI design, ideally within complex B2B or enterprise environments.
• Hands-on experience with user research and the ability to conduct research independently rather than only review findings.
• A structured, method-driven approach such as Design Thinking or Human-Centred Design.
• Solid technical understanding, including how frontend development works and where implementation limits lie.
• Strong visual design ability with the skill to not only shape concepts but also execute them carefully and cleanly.
• Experience creating or maintaining design systems and component libraries.
• Confident use of Figma, plus experience in prototyping and interaction design.
• Ability to think through problems precisely and communicate clearly with internal teams and stakeholders.
• Excellent written and spoken German; English is an advantage.

What the Employer Offers

• A role at a leading media company located in the heart of Schwabing.
• Individual opportunities for professional and personal development.
• Health and sports offerings in cooperation with EGYM.
• Flexible working arrangements with a 37.5-hour full-time week, flexitime, and home office options.
• Social activities such as after-work beer, an internal employee trade fair, and summer and winter celebrations.
• Additional benefits including travel and lunch subsidies, parking spaces with EV charging infrastructure, and book discounts.
