Head of Design Remote (anywhere in Germany)

The Company is seeking a Head of Design to take on a pivotal role in shaping the user experience of its software for short-term rentals. The successful candidate will be responsible for setting and owning the design vision and standard, with a focus on creating a product that is not just functional but truly delightful to use. This includes leading the design of the entire platform, from the most basic interactions to the most complex features, and ensuring that every screen is elegant and intuitive. The Head of Design will also be tasked with building and leading a small team of product designers, while remaining hands-on in the design process. The role demands a player-coach approach, where the leader is expected to set the bar with their own work and elevate the team's output through direct feedback and high expectations. Applicants for the Head of Design position at the company should be design leaders with a proven track record of raising the quality bar in a product-led SaaS environment. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in design, with a focus on research, and a deep understanding of how to use data to inform design decisions. High agency, ownership, and the ability to work effectively in a remote, low-bureaucracy environment are essential. The role requires a candidate who is still hands-on in their design work, particularly in the last three years, and who has a strong background in product thinking, being able to partner with product and engineering leadership to influence what gets built. Experience in short-term rental, travel, hospitality, or proptech domains is a plus. The company values diversity and is looking for someone who is passionate about the mission and the opportunity to contribute to a product that is constantly evolving.
