Senior Product Designer

Wrike • Prague • 3d ago

Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs

Senior Product Designer roles in SaaS increasingly sit at the intersection of product strategy, customer evidence, and AI-assisted workflows, and this listing reflects that shift. The remit spans an end to end mission within a multi-disciplinary product organisation, suggesting a mature SaaS environment where design is expected to influence outcomes, not just interfaces. The emphasis on direct customer contact and on making prototypes that drive alignment maps well to how subscription products evolve through continuous iteration.

From a SaaS career perspective, the standout value is exposure to the full product loop: discovery, validation, delivery, and post-ship quality. Working alongside PMs, engineering, research, content, and customer success builds the collaboration muscle that transfers across most B2B SaaS teams. The explicit expectation to use AI throughout the design process also signals a role that will sharpen practical judgment about when automation helps and when craft and domain understanding matter more.

This role will suit designers who like owning ambiguous problem spaces and translating them into concrete artefacts that teams can build from. It fits professionals who are comfortable moving between strategic framing and hands-on execution, and who prefer decisions grounded in research, analytics, and real user conversations.

Job Description

About the Role:

You'll join our international Product Design team and take ownership of one of our product missions, backed by a whole community of UX professionals. The job needs real interaction and interface design craft, plus a strategic head for balancing what customers need against what the business needs. And increasingly, it means treating AI as a working partner in your process, not just something you ask for ideas. You'll work closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, writers, and customer success along the way.

Your Impact:

Shape product design strategy. You're the one connecting what the business needs, what customers need, and what's technically possible.
Design and build alongside other designers, PMs, and engineers. Using AI end to end. From digging through research to prototyping to iterating, not just for a first-draft idea dump.
Turn ideas into things people can actually react to: wireframes, diagrams, task flows, working prototypes. Whatever gets the room aligned and unlocks better thinking.
Talk to customers and partners directly to check whether your designs actually hold up.
Help make our design tools, processes, and standards better for the whole team, not just your own project.
Get involved in customer research early, while strategy and direction are still taking shape, not after.
Work with engineering and business leads to ensure the shipped product feels as good as it looked in Figma or in your prototype.
Push past team silos when a problem genuinely needs more than one group's perspective to solve.

Your Qualifications:

Solid, real-world design experience and grounding in human-centered design.
Comfortable moving across fidelity levels. Rough wireframes, polished mockups, technical diagrams, whatever the moment calls for.
You use AI throughout your own process – research, prototyping, iteration – and, more importantly, you know when its output is wrong, not just when it's fast.
Hands-on experience with customer research methods.
You can take something complicated and explain it simply, to designers and non-designers alike

Standout Qualities:

You've designed AI-powered products or features before.
You can present your work to very different audiences – engineering, QA, content, marketing, sales and adjust how you explain it for each.
You've helped cross-functional teams actually work better together, not just delivered your own piece of the puzzle.
You can walk us through 3–4 different directions you considered for a problem, not just the one you shipped.
You can look at a dataset and actually draw a conclusion from it.
You notice where a system is cracking before it fully breaks, and you can propose and design the fix.
You genuinely experiment with AI as part of how you work, and you keep an eye on what other products are doing well enough to borrow the good ideas.
You've worked in agile teams before.
Bonus: you can read code, or you're comfortable prototyping in tools like Claude Code or Cursor.

Our Work Style:

All teams use Wrike to structure and execute work, and our main design tool is Figma, but we don’t shy away from Cursor or Claude Code. We'd rather test a hypothesis than debate it in a meeting, so UX research and analytics are core to how we work. We care as much about getting discovery right as we do about shipping. Teams are cross-functional, and OKRs are how we keep score.

Team Dynamics:

Wrike product design team consists of 15+ full-stack product designers, 3 UX researchers, 2 content designers, a Design System Architect, 2 UX Architects, 3 Design Managers and a Head of Product Design. The team is distributed among different locations with 2 main hubs located in Prague and Cyprus. All these professionals are inspired by each other, the broader organisation and by our customers. Everyone is expected to lead UX in their product area and partner with their PMs and Engineering leaders.
