🚀 Role Summary

This is a critical 6-month contract role focused on driving product design initiatives within a remote-first, fast-paced B2B SaaS environment.
The role requires end-to-end ownership of product features, from initial discovery and user flow design to high-fidelity specifications and collaboration with engineering.
Key responsibilities include redesigning core product workflows, developing robust reporting and measurement experiences, and conceptualizing interaction patterns for emerging AI-assisted functionalities.
Success in this role hinges on strong collaboration within an asynchronous, distributed team, leveraging an established design system, and a proven ability to deliver complex SaaS product designs.

📝 Enhancement Note: This role is positioned as a Senior Product Designer, implying a need for strategic thinking, independent project ownership, and the ability to mentor or guide less experienced designers, even without direct management. The "6 months" contract duration suggests a project-based need, likely tied to a specific roadmap initiative or covering for a permanent team member. The requirement for CET ±2 hours indicates a need for substantial overlap with European business hours, crucial for effective asynchronous collaboration.

📈 Primary Responsibilities

Own and execute the entire product design lifecycle for assigned features, encompassing user research, ideation, wireframing, prototyping, and final design specifications.
Lead the redesign of core product workflows, with an initial focus on enhancing the chat experience for improved user engagement and efficiency.
Develop sophisticated reporting and measurement capabilities, integrating data from platforms like Meta Ads and TikTok Ads to provide actionable insights for clients.
Design intuitive and effective interaction patterns for upcoming AI-assisted and agentic product features, contributing to the company's innovation roadmap.
Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Engineers in an asynchronous, remote setting, ensuring seamless design handoffs and iterative feedback loops.
Contribute to and evolve the existing design system, ensuring consistency, scalability, and adherence to brand guidelines across all product touchpoints.
Conduct lightweight usability testing to validate design decisions and gather user feedback, informing design iterations and optimizations.
Maintain clear and comprehensive design documentation, facilitating understanding and alignment across cross-functional teams.

📝 Enhancement Note: The emphasis on "workflow-heavy products" and "designing interaction patterns for upcoming AI-assisted and agentic features" suggests a focus on complex B2B SaaS functionality rather than consumer-facing applications or marketing sites. This implies a need for a designer comfortable with intricate user journeys, data visualization, and the nuances of enterprise software adoption.

🎓 Skills & Qualifications

Education: While no specific degree is listed, a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field is often preferred for senior-level roles, demonstrating a foundational understanding of design principles.

Proven experience (5+ years) in Product Design, with a portfolio that highlights complex B2B SaaS products and workflow-heavy applications.
Expertise in designing and prototyping user interfaces and interactions using Figma.
Strong visual and interaction design skills, with a keen eye for detail and user experience best practices.
Ability to independently own and drive design projects from conceptualization to final implementation in a remote, distributed team environment.
Excellent written communication and documentation skills, essential for asynchronous collaboration and clear design handoffs.
Demonstrated experience in conducting usability testing and integrating user feedback into design iterations.
Proficiency in handing off design specifications and assets to engineering teams.
Experience working within and contributing to established design systems. Preferred Skills:

Domain expertise in the creator economy, influencer marketing, or paid social advertising platforms.
Familiarity with Meta Ads and/or TikTok Ads products and their respective reporting capabilities.
Exposure to or experience with designing AI-powered or AI-assisted product experiences.

📝 Enhancement Note: The requirement for a "portfolio showcasing workflow-heavy products rather than marketing websites" is a critical differentiator for this role. It signals that the hiring team is looking for a designer who can tackle complex functional challenges and user journeys, not just aesthetic appeal. This aligns with the B2B SaaS focus and the nature of the product at Insense.

Demonstrate experience with an established design system, illustrating how you've utilized and potentially contributed to it.
Present a clear progression from initial discovery and ideation through to high-fidelity mockups and production-ready specifications.
Highlight experience with prototyping tools, particularly Figma, and showcase interactive prototypes that demonstrate key user journeys. Process Documentation:
Provide examples of clear and concise design documentation, including user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity mockups, demonstrating your ability to communicate design intent effectively.
