🚀 Role Summary

• This role is for a Lead Product Designer with deep expertise in B2B SaaS product design, focusing on the Mirakl Platform's back office.

• You will be responsible for owning the user experience and translating complex marketplace and e-commerce concepts into intuitive designs.

• You will collaborate closely with cross-functional squads to define product vision, strategy, and deliver measurable business impact.

• A key aspect of this role involves actively integrating and championing AI tools within the design workflow and the broader team.

• This position is for a seasoned design authority, not necessarily a people manager, who acts as a true product builder.

📝 Enhancement Note: The job title "Lead Product Designer" and the description emphasizing "recognized design expert," "owner of the user experience," and "true product builder" indicate a senior individual contributor role focused on strategic design leadership and execution rather than people management. The explicit mention of "6+ years of Product Design experience on complex B2B SaaS products" reinforces this. The role is categorized under Product Design/UX/UI, aligning with the core responsibilities.

📈 Primary Responsibilities

• Co-develop the product vision and design strategy for the Mirakl Platform back office in partnership with the Design Director and Group Product Managers.

• Drive the end-to-end design process, from problem definition and user research to wireframing, high-fidelity prototyping, detailed specifications, and edge case handling.

• Act as a product builder by engaging upstream of design, challenging assumptions, co-creating solutions, and rigorously measuring their real-world impact.

• Champion and actively integrate AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Figma AI, v0, Uizard) into daily design practices to accelerate prototyping, explore more options, and enhance shipped features.

• Maintain an active watch on emerging design and AI tools and methodologies, advocating for their adoption to continuously evolve the team’s ways of working.

• Measure and analyze the adoption and usage of delivered solutions, proposing iterative improvements based on user insights and product metrics.

• Facilitate co-creation workshops and embed co-design principles within the practice to foster collaboration with cross-functional teams.

• Contribute to, govern, and champion the adoption of the Design System, including prioritization, contribution, versioning, and design tokens.

• Represent design effectively with key stakeholders (Leadership, Sales, Customer Success, Marketing), clearly communicating progress and arbitrating experience, technology, and business trade-offs.

• Ensure coherence and quality of design deliverables across all stages of the product development lifecycle.

📝 Enhancement Note: The responsibilities highlight a blend of strategic design leadership, hands-on execution, and a forward-thinking approach to AI integration. The emphasis on "product builder," "measurable business impact," and "upstream and downstream" engagement suggests a role that goes beyond traditional UI design to encompass product strategy and validation.
