Senior UI/UX Designer (all genders)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential digital services organization seeking a Senior UI/UX Designer to join their interdisciplinary teams in Köln. Our client creates digital solutions with genuine societal impact, working across public sector, healthcare, energy, and other regulated industries.

• Create visually and functionally sophisticated user flows and interfaces for complex applications with consistency, accessibility, and implementability
• Provide strategic consultation to clients and project teams on digital product evolution, combining user perspective with market observation
• Own design systems throughout their entire lifecycle, ensuring adoption through documentation, contribution guidelines, reviews, and team training
• Facilitate workshops, moderate stakeholder discussions, and make design decisions comprehensible to non-design audiences
• Take creative leadership in proposals, pitches, and competitive presentations
• Deploy AI tools strategically in the design process and share learnings with the team
• Provide technical leadership for small UX/UI teams in client projects, conducting design reviews, quality assurance, and mentoring colleagues
