The posting

This is Edenspiekermann

We are Edenspiekermann - an independent design consultancy with 40+ years of experience helping world-leading organizations invent, build, and evolve their products. Our Product Strategy practice works directly with product teams at the intersection of market insight, design excellence, and AI-driven development.

Our interaction designers work in agile and interdisciplinary teams on websites and platforms for major brands as well as for startups. Our teams combine conceptual thinking, a sophisticated understanding of design and a deep knowledge of web and app development to develop a digital product or service with a user-centric approach. In doing so, we advise and coach our clients' teams to provide the best customer experience for their customers.

Description

Automotive · Agentic Workflows · Figma Expert

You are a design systems expert, systems thinker, and Figma power user. You understand that outstanding digital products emerge through scalable systems, efficient workflows, and close collaboration between design and engineering.

We are looking for a proven specialist who can shape, scale, and operationalize enterprise-grade design systems within complex environments — with a strong focus on automotive ecosystems, multi-product platforms, and future-ready AI-supported workflows.

You bring deep expertise in Figma, component architecture, design operations, and emerging agentic workflows. You know how to transform complexity into maintainable systems that enable teams to move faster while ensuring quality and consistency.

Your tasks

  • You drive the creation, evolution, and governance of complex design systems across digital products, platforms, and ecosystems
  • You establish scalable component architectures, token strategies, variables, and documentation structures in Figma, ensuring consistency, maintainability, and implementation readiness
  • You own advanced Figma workflows including libraries, branching, versioning, variables, modes, responsive systems, automation, and multi-team collaboration models
  • You work closely with product, engineering, research, strategy, and design teams to bridge design intent and technical implementation while aligning vision with execution
  • You actively introduce AI-supported and agentic workflows into the design process — leveraging automation, intelligent tooling, and emerging DesignOps practices to improve quality, efficiency, and scalability
  • You contribute to complex automotive ecosystems and understand the challenges of multi-brand, multi-platform, and embedded digital experiences
  • You drive validation and iteration cycles to continuously improve system quality, usability, and product experience

Your profile

  • You bring 4-6+ years of experience in Product Design, UI Design, or Design Systems with a strong specialization in scalable digital systems
  • You have a strong portfolio demonstrating user-centered thinking, interaction design excellence, and proven experience building or evolving enterprise-level design systems
  • You bring experience within automotive, mobility, embedded systems, or other complex product ecosystems
  • You think in systems — translating user needs, product goals, and brand principles into coherent and scalable digital experiences
  • You bring deep expertise in Figma including advanced auto layout, component systems, variables, tokens, responsive design, prototyping, shared libraries, branching, and versioning
  • You understand how design systems scale across multiple teams, products, and implementation environments
  • You bring experience with DesignOps, contribution models, governance structures, and cross-functional collaboration
  • You actively use AI within your daily practice and have experience with agentic workflows, automation, AI-supported tooling, and design operations approaches to improve system creation, maintenance, and collaboration
  • You have a strong understanding of visual identity systems — typography, layout, and color — and know how to apply brand consistently across digital products
  • You communicate clearly and effectively across stakeholders, workshops, and multidisciplinary teams
  • You bring a proactive, ownership-driven mindset and thrive in complex and fast-moving environments
  • You have excellent communication skills in English (German is a plus)

We offer

  • A central role in a dynamic, independent design consultancy with an international portfolio spanning enterprise product design, city identity, design systems, and regulated industries
  • Direct access to partners and senior leadership - flat hierarchies, real autonomy, and room to shape how we do product strategy
  • A dedicated team of high-profile designers and strategists driven by a no-ego, high-craft culture
  • Personal responsibility, space for your own ideas, and the opportunity to grow with the company and the practice
  • 30 days paid vacation, hybrid work, and a dog-friendly Berlin office
  • Work-life balance support including a potential four-day week if needed
  • Benefits including Urban Sports Club, food club, and ESPI cuisine
  • Regular team gatherings and in-house coaching and mentoring

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
