<h2>What to expect</h2> <p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">We are a startup digital agency, and no two projects, clients, or even days look the same. But all of our days are agentic-first.</span></p><br><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">In ecommerce we design and build on Shopify and Next.js, with custom apps that take Shopify well past the defaults.</span></p><br><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">On the marketing side we create highly customised sites in Next.js and React, with careful design and animation and a real focus on how the page performs and feels.</span></p><br><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">In automotive and other industries we design full platforms, AI tools and integrations, from stock-car locators to configurators and a lot more.</span></p><br><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Across all of it, we bring AI into the work through our own products.</span></p><br><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Design at OH-SO covers both product design and communication design, and we treat UI and content as one craft. We design with AI as a collaborator and for AI as a material. The artefact is code in a user's hand, not a Figma file waiting for approval.</span></p><br><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Here nothing will be fixed. You will work across changing projects and settings, on long builds that run for months and shorter spikes to figure out how a business can actually use AI, and you will help us rethink how agency work is done.</span></p><br><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:11.25pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Sound like your kind of place? Here is what we need from you.</span></p> <h2>Your competencies</h2> <p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br></p><ul><li><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Fluent German (C1 or native) and very good English. Most of our clients for this role work in German, and you will present and run workshops in German every week.</span></span></p></li><li><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Typically 5+ years of designing digital products, with a portfolio that shows end-to-end ownership from concept to launched product.</span></p></li><li><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Recognised expertise in two or three areas, for example AI-native design, design systems, brand in product or communication design.</span></p></li><li><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Hands-on experience designing for generative or agentic AI, and a clear view of where these interfaces fail and how to design for those moments.</span></p></li><li><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">AI as a daily working tool for research, exploration, prototyping and production.

You can read code, prototype in it, and talk with engineers in their terms.</span></p></li><li><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Expert Figma skills (auto layout, variables, components, Dev Mode, Code Connect) and experience building design systems that engineering teams adopt and maintain.</span></p></li><li><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Writing as part of the design. You don't design a screen without its language, and that includes copy for AI-driven interfaces.</span></p></li><li><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Accessibility built in from the start (WCAG), and the habit of testing and validating your work and turning findings into design decisions.</span></p></li><li><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">The ability to translate business goals into design decisions, make trade-offs explicit, decide, and stand by it.</span></p></li><li><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Confidence facilitating workshops, design sprints and critiques with clients, strategy and engineering</span></p></li></ul> <h2>What You Can Look Forward To</h2> <p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">We're looking for a senior product designer who owns projects and their outcomes, sets the bar for craft, and makes both the team and the client better. You'll design products and platforms where AI is part of the experience: conversational and agentic interfaces, generative features, and the trust and error states that make them usable. </span></p><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">You'll do it close to the code, in modern web stacks, working with engineers from the first sketch to the live implementation.</span></p><br><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">As Senior Product Designer at OH-SO, you:</span></p><br><ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-left:-6pt;"><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Own entire projects or major workstreams across product, content and brand in product, and define what "done" means in product and communication terms.</span></p></li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-left:-6pt;"><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Shape the main creative idea together with Strategy and Content, and drive design direction across all surfaces.</span></p></li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-left:-6pt;"><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Design AI-native experiences: conversational UX, prompt-aware patterns and agentic flows, along with the transparency, trust and error design that make them work for real users.</span></p></li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-left:-6pt;"><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Own the design system architecture of a project, including tokens, components, governance, Code Connect and handover documentation.</span></p></li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-left:-6pt;"><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Pair with engineering throughout the build, prototype in code when that is the faster way to an answer, and run design QA against the live implementation.</span></p></li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-left:-6pt;"><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Act as the primary design contact for the client.
