Together we're building Europe's leading financial copilot for small businesses and their accountants.<br/><br/>Shine already supports more than 400,000 small businesses. As part of Cegid, we now reach over one million small businesses and 15,000 accountants across Europe.<br/><br/>We're a multicultural team working from France, Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands, contributing to a wider European network that spans Spain, Portugal and Belgium.<br/><br/><strong>Your Hiring Experience Matters<br/><br/></strong>Just as we respect our customers' time, we respect yours. Your experience with Shine and Cegid should feel simple, transparent and genuinely supportive.<br/><br/>If this sounds like somewhere you want to grow, we'd love to hear from you.<br/><br/>Your Role as a Staff Product Design<br/><br/>We're hiring three Staff Product Designers to own critical product domains at Shine — shaping experience direction across teams, aligning stakeholders around long-term coherence, and raising the bar for how design decisions get made.<br/><br/>Rather than listing three separate roles, we're running one shared process — because at the Staff level, it's about strategic thinking, craft leadership, and cross-team influence, not domain knowledge alone. In our first conversation, we'll explore your background and figure out together which of the three teams is the best fit for you.<br/><br/><strong>Your Responsibilities Will Include<br/><br/></strong><ul><li>Own the full design process end-to-end, from framing ambiguous opportunities to validating shipped impact and supporting implementation — with minimal oversight in your domain.</li><li>Shape a coherent product and experience vision that connects user needs with business strategy, bringing fragmented surfaces and products into a unified, native-feeling Shine ecosystem.</li><li>Lead data-driven discovery: set up the right research frameworks, rituals, and metrics so insight-led design becomes the default, and close the loop back into product direction.</li><li>Partner with Product, Engineering, and domain experts (Tax, Banking, Accounting) to balance short-term needs against long-term coherence, making trade-offs legible and defensible.</li><li>Uphold design quality and craft across web, mobile, and hardware surfaces, and act as a design authority for cross-product decisions, simplification, and shared patterns.</li><li>Contribute to the unified Design System (components, tokens, governance) and drive alignment across domains.</li><li>Anchor decisions in clear success metrics, define experience KPIs, and measure whether shipped work actually moves the needle.</li><li>Mentor designers and own the collective quality bar of your tribe.<br/><br/></li></ul>📍 Job located in Berlin, Madrid &amp; Porto with possibility of two remote working days per week<br/><br/><strong>About You<br/><br/></strong><ul><li>8+ years designing digital products, with a strong track record at Staff level or equivalent.</li><li>You think in systems and ship in details. Holding a long-term vision while staying close to what users need today.</li><li>Strong product thinking and problem framing: you turn ambiguity into clear hypotheses and make trade-offs legible to PMs and Engineers.</li><li>Proven ability to lead data-driven discovery: you’ve set up research frameworks, defined success metrics, and used both to change decisions.</li><li>Deep design craft with a solid grasp of engineering constraints and business context; hands-on experience contributing to design systems.</li><li>Comfortable in lean environments — you create clarity and own scope rather than waiting for it to be defined.</li><li>A natural collaborator across teams who builds alignment without slowing things down.</li><li>You actively use AI tools to accelerate prototyping and exploration (Claude, Cursor).</li><li>Bonus: experience in payments, commerce, invoicing, accounting, fintech, or hardware-adjacent interfaces (terminals, POS).<br/><br/></li></ul>Our recruitment process<br/><br/>1️⃣ A 45' intro call with Saskia to get to know each other, talk through your experience, and explore which of our three open Staff Product Designer roles fits you best.<br/><br/>2️⃣ A 45' interview with the relevant Hiring Manager to dive deeper into your background and the specific role.<br/><br/>3️⃣ A 60' portfolio review — walk us through work that shows how you think, not just what you shipped.<br/><br/>4️⃣ A live design critique exercise to see how you engage with real problems and give and receive feedback.<br/><br/>5️⃣ A personality assessment and a conversation with senior leadership to round things off. </div>
