At Factorial, design leadership is not a service function, an operations role, or a people‐coordination job. It's not even mostly about UX/UI. We're looking for a Senior Director of Product Design who operates at the level of value creation. At Factorial, we are building the self‐operating system that helps companies get the most out of their people, money, and resources. A software that runs the work itself instead of asking people to. Payroll runs disconnected from time and expenses. We're connecting all of it into one system, so every decision around hiring, onboarding, compensation, and technology is made with full context and real‐time cost visibility. We're at €100M+ in annual recurring revenue, serving 16,000+ companies in 60 countries with 1,500+ employees, and we recently closed a €150M round at a €2.5B valuation. The next phase is connecting the dots at a platform level, and design is leading that shift. Building a self‐operating system for companies requires us to work in an AI‐first environment, which is not about the tools but the thinking. Designers stress‐test that thinking with the model, prototype with tools like Claude and Cursor, validate with real customers, implement part of their solutions, and stay accountable until the work is live and moving the metric. AI is the tool, and we expect you to use it relentlessly, even building your own agents to understand the agentic products you're designing. Employees start their first week with zero sense of control,



and nobody is surprised. Not another integration on top of a broken stack, but a single platform that is actively becoming agentic, where IT, onboarding, and access coordinate themselves across legal, payroll, talent, and finance. You'll define the strategy, build and lead a team of 4 to 7 high‐caliber product designers, and own a €3–4M budget.
Experience: 10+ years building digital products, 3+ leading teams, at a level where design drove measurable business outcomes.
You use business data to shape decisions, and see user needs and business goals as the same conversation.
Talent development: You combine qualitative research, direct customer conversations, and business data to uncover insights and articulate clear decisions.
Fluent in English, written and spoken.
You can independently pull and interpret data using BI tools.
Figma is where you hide from the business conversation.
You see design as a value stream, not just an experience lever.
That's why our Product team follows an office‐first, adaptable approach. However, we also understand the importance of focus and flexibility, so we support remote work when it makes sense (20%): whether for deep work, personal needs, or just a change of scenery.
Continuous training and learning based on your needs.
