Senior Product Designer at Humaans in London

Job description

About us Humaans is building the next generation of infrastructure for the workplace; software designed for companies that are scaling fast, operating globally, and pushing into new boundaries. What started as a system of record has evolved into a broader platform for operating people globally. With Athena, our agentic AI layer, Humaans moves beyond data management into intelligent orchestration, connecting workflows across HR, IT, Finance, and Operations so organisations can act faster and with greater confidence, redefining how work gets done. We work with ambitious teams across Europe and the US, from AI-native companies like Lovable, Poolside, Fyxer AI, and Tandem Health, to established, high-growth organisations scaling internationally and through acquisition, including Quantexa, Sellpy, Manychat, Gigs, Croud, and Threecolts. These teams don’t buy software for features,they buy leverage. The ability to run faster, cleaner, and with more control as complexity compounds. To date, we’ve raised $20m in venture funding from some of the most respected founders, operators, and funds in technology: Lachy Groom (Physical Intelligence), Stewart Butterfield (Slack), Tobias Lütke (Shopify), Dylan Field (Figma), Jeff Weiner (LinkedIn), Claire Johnson (Stripe), Oliver Jay (OpenAI), Jay Simmons (Bond) as well as Y Combinator, Moonfire, Frontline Ventures, Pathlight Ventures, and Exor. If you have massive ambition and want to work on a hard problem, with a small team that moves fast, at a moment when the category is genuinely up for grabs - this is it. The role We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to own meaningful areas of Humaans end to end, from understanding the problem and exploring ideas through to the details of what we ship. This is a hands-on individual contributor role with significant product ownership. You’ll lead a product area from conception to launch, combining product thinking, interaction design and visual craft to turn complex customer problems into simple, elegant experiences. You’ll work closely with engineers throughout the process, building and iterating together rather than treating design and implementation as separate phases. You’ll be expected to form a point of view, make thoughtful trade-offs and contribute to the strategic decisions that shape where Humaans goes next. We care deeply about craft, but also about outcomes and speed. You’ll have the autonomy to take ideas from ambiguous problems to shipped experiences while maintaining a high bar for quality. What you’ll do • Own a product area end to end, from early exploration and problem definition through to launch and iteration • Design flows and experiences that make complex workflows feel simple, intuitive and elegant • Connect our business vision with customer needs, turning both into useful product experiences • Contribute to strategic decisions about product direction and help shape what we build next • Define how experiences behave and establish thoughtful interaction patterns across your product area • Apply strong visual craft across typography, colour, layout, iconography and the overall product experience • Work closely with engineers as you build, iterate and ship, navigating technical constraints together rather than designing in isolation • Seek feedback throughout the process and contribute feedback to others, helping raise the quality bar across the product • Balance short-term opportunities with longer-term product thinking, making pragmatic decisions about what matters now and what comes next • Move quickly from ambiguity to execution while maintaining a high standard for the experiences we put in front of customers What we’re looking for • Strong end-to-end experience designing and shipping software products, with examples of work you’ve taken from an ambiguous problem through to a finished experience • Excellent interaction design skills and a strong understanding of how to create intuitive behaviours, flows and product patterns •
