We’re looking for a highly hands-on and influential Head of Product Design to join our team in Berlin. This pivotal role goes beyond execution; you'll lead by example, deeply owning end-to-end product experiences, directly shaping our design strategy, and significantly elevating the overall quality and impact of our user-centric products. If you're passionate about pushing design excellence and ready to dive into the details, we want to hear from you.

• Lead End-to-End Product Design: Drive the entire design process from discovery and ideation through to detailed implementation, ensuring a relentless focus on quality, speed, and measurable impact.

• Coach & Elevate Design Quality: Act as a hands-on leader, directly coaching and mentoring a team of designers to continuously raise the bar for visual and interaction design, setting new standards across the product experience.

• Drive Strategic Design Vision: Collaborate intensely with Product, Engineering, and Data Science to align design with ambitious business goals, drawing on strong product and visual instincts and understanding competitor landscapes to shape a clear, impactful strategy.

• Deliver Measurable Impact: Champion a data-driven approach, conducting user research and analyzing performance metrics to directly inform design decisions that move key business metrics for users and advertisers.

• Own & Enhance the Experience: Proactively identify opportunities for improvement across our products (e.g., Freecash), taking full ownership to redesign, refine, and implement solutions that enhance usability, emotional connection, and overall user satisfaction.

• Extensive experience (typically 7+ years) in end-to-end product design, with a strong portfolio showcasing impactful UI/UX work across mobile-first products.

• Exceptional visual and interaction design skills, demonstrating a meticulous eye for detail, hierarchy, and accessibility, coupled with a deep care for quality and polish.

• Proven ability to lead by example, actively coach designers, and inspire cross-functional teams towards design excellence and high-quality outcomes.

• Strong product instinct and strategic thinking, enabling you to form clear design strategies that align with business drivers, user needs, and market opportunities.

• A highly data-driven mindset, with experience using research and analytics to inform decisions, measure success, and understand what truly moves the needle.

• Highly Hands-On & Quality-Obsessed: You naturally dive into the details, aren't satisfied until things are polished, and actively fix elements that don't look or feel right.

• Impact-Driven & Business-Minded: You're passionate about seeing your work directly move real metrics and are deeply curious about how design impacts growth, users, and advertisers.

• Proactive & Emotionally Intelligent: You take full ownership, proactively seeking out improvements, and consistently think about how users feel, creating rewarding and motivating experiences.

• Own Our Growth: We offer all Berlin-based employees equity in Almedia to truly be a part of our success.

• Scale With Almedia: Grow alongside a startup that has been profitable from day one.

• Central Berlin Office: Work from a fully-stocked modern office built for collaboration, accessible from all around Berlin.
