what you'll do

Design isn't decoration. It's how we think.

At Merixstudio, we build digital products that actually work — for users, for businesses, and for the teams that maintain them. Our Product Design practice sits at the heart of how we approach every project: from early discovery through to delivery.

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer Leader to own that practice. Not just contribute to it — lead it.

You'll wear two hats, and you'll be great at both. As a design leader, you'll shape how design works at Merixstudio — setting standards, growing designers, and making sure the team delivers work they're proud of.

As a hands-on practitioner, you'll work directly on client projects — running discovery sessions, defining UX strategy, shaping design solutions from concept to polished UI, and making design decisions that have real business impact.

More Specifically


* Define and evolve our design practice — establish standards, processes, and best practices that scale across the team and reflect where the industry is heading (yes, that includes AI-augmented workflows)
* Lead and develop the design team — you'll be the go-to person for your designers: holding regular 1:1s, running quarterly development reviews, helping people set goals that actually matter, and collecting feedback that drives real improvement. When someone has a competency question or needs a thought partner, they come to you first - but you also actively foster knowledge sharing within the team, so expertise doesn't live in just one place.
* Run client workshops and discovery sessions — uncover real business needs, align stakeholders, and set projects up for success from day one (occasional business travel may be involved)
* Ensure design quality — review work, raise the bar, and make sure what ships is both useful and beautifully crafted
* Stay sharp on trends — keep the team ahead of emerging tools, methods, and AI developments reshaping the design profession

Recruitment process

We Respect Your Time, So We Keep Things Focused

* CV & Portfolio Review — we'll look at your experience and the work you're proud of
* HR Interview (1h) — a conversation with Justyna from People Team
* Technical Interview (1.5h) — a deep dive with our Competency Lead on UX/UI approach, design thinking, and facilitation
* Manager Interview (30 min) — a meeting with the manager you'll be working with directly, to make sure the fit goes both ways

who you are

* You bring 6+ years of experience in UX/UI or Product Design, including at least 2 years of proven leadership.
* You lead with UX thinking but possess a deep passion for UI craft.
* Your portfolio shows both design craft and strategic thinking
* You are experienced in leading workshops and discovery sprints, and you’re comfortable navigating stakeholder presentations with ease.
* You feel comfortable working directly with clients — including sales conversations and project scoping
* You are confident presenting complex ideas to both technical teams and non-technical business partners.
* You find genuine fulfillment in coaching others and helping your teammates level up their skills.
* You don’t just follow trends; you’re already integrating AI tools into your workflow to evolve the way you design.
* You stay inspired and connected by remaining active in the design world—whether through Dribbble, Behance, or local industry events.
* You are experienced in planning and conducting user research and usability testing, not just interpreting results others gathered
* You are fluent in English (C1+) and comfortable using it as your primary language for daily client collaboration.

what we'd like to see

* HotJar, Maze, or similar tools for user testing and analytics
* Low-code/no-code tools — knowing their strengths and limits is a plus
* Experience designing for IoT, data-rich platforms, or complex data visualisations (dashboards, control panels, real-time interfaces)
* Familiarity with the PropTech or Facility Management space — understanding its users, business models, and design challenges

Your Toolkit

* Figma is your second language.
* Mural is your go-to for remote collaboration and discovery.
* AI Tools are already a functional part of your design process.
