About the role
Our Mission At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails , and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved. We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility. It's a $7B+ untapped market , and our traction reflects the scale of the opportunity: we’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe. Our team previously scaled Tessian ( cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel , acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben , Abs , Sabrina , and Rebe . Find out more about the team and life at Omnea here . Your day-to-day You’ll lead design across major product areas, owning both hands-on work and the direction, standards, and decisions that shape how the product evolves. You’ll spend time with customers - procurement leaders, finance teams, and security stakeholders at companies like Spotify , MongoDB , Monzo , and Gymshark - using those insights to guide both a quarterly roadmap and the longer-term design direction. You’ll work closely with Product and Engineering leadership to shape problem definition, scope, and sequencing - often before features are obvious. You’ll raise the quality bar across the Design team by setting clear expectations around UX, UI, and craft, and by modelling thoughtful, direct feedback. You’ll help define and evolve Omnea’s design system and patterns so teams can move faster without losing coherence as we scale. You’ll love this role if… You’re excited by roles where your impact comes from both what you design and how you enable others . You like working in fast-growing environments where structure is still emerging and your judgment genuinely shapes how things get done. You enjoy tackling ambiguous, high-stakes problems and helping teams converge on strong decisions. You’re comfortable being close to customers and close to delivery - switching between strategy and detail as needed. You care deeply about craft, but you care just as much about building a low-ego team culture and commercial results that can sustain it. Why this role is a career accelerator ⭐ Design leadership at Omnea is hands-on, visible, and trusted - not a layer removed from the commercial implications and customer challenges. You’ll help define what “great” looks like for design as the company scales, influencing product direction, hiring, and ways of working. You’ll work on a product at the intersection of finance, legal, security, and operations , where good design materially changes how these companies operate. The bar is high, the problems are real, and the opportunity to shape a category - not just a feature set - is very tangible. At Omnea, we embrace diversity. To build a product that's loved by everyone, we're best served by a team with all sorts of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't quite match the full job spec! And regardless of your race, religion, colour, gender, or anything else!
