About the role
Your Impact Procurement is the single biggest cost position for industrial companies - often 60-70% of revenue. It's also their biggest lever to drive profitability - something the European industry needs more urgently than ever. However, most companies still run procurement manually with outdated tools. As Head of Product Design, you'll define how humans and AI agents work together. Our product is shifting from screens users operate to agents users direct. That demands a fundamentally new design practice: one that creates the frameworks, patterns, and constraints within which AI agents operate, and that makes complex procurement decisions legible and trustworthy at a glance. You'll build the design team that makes this real. Your Tasks Design Leadership : Build and lead the design team of ~4 product designers. Set the bar for craft, speed, and strategic impact. Establish design as a true partner in the product trio, not a service function. Human-Agent Interaction Design : Define the interaction paradigm for a product where AI agents execute procurement workflows autonomously and buyers supervise, steer, and handle exceptions. You'll develop the mental models, patterns, and UI frameworks for it. Design Systems for Agent-Native Products : Own and evolve our design system and component architecture that coding agents can reliably work within. Your frameworks need to be precise enough for LLM-driven development and flexible enough for rapid iteration. UX for Complex Domains : Make deeply technical procurement concepts (should-costing, raw material indices, contract leakage) accessible and actionable for users who are not data analysts. Turn complexity into clarity. Customer & User Insight : Drive user understanding on a company level by implementing best practices around user & UX research and be an advocate of our users within Tacto. Make sure every function is focused on solving real user problems. Your Profile 6+ years in product design, with 2+ years leading design teams at high-growth technology companies known for design excellence Strong collaborator with product and engineering to get to the best possible results for customers and the business Deep experience designing for data-heavy, workflow-driven products. You know how to make information density an asset Strong systems thinking. You design in frameworks and patterns, not just screens Genuine fluency with AI as a design material. You've thought seriously about how LLMs, agents, and automation change what design even means, and you have a point of view on where it's going You can move between strategic leadership and hands-on craft when needed Fluent in English. German is a plus but not required Why Tacto Impact: You'll tackle one of the most important UX problems in enterprise software: how buyers supervise, steer and trust autonomous AI agents making procurement decisions with real consequences. No established playbook exists for this yet. Most SaaS companies are still designing forms and dashboards - we want you to write the next chapter Ownership that compounds: The design function at Tacto is yours to define.
