About us Keen is an AI-native hiring platform for hospitality. Our applicant tracking system screens and pre-qualifies candidates so hiring teams can focus on people, not admin. Alongside it we run an established hospitality job board, with a large candidate community and hundreds of employer clients, that we are turning into a talent marketplace. Our line sums up how we design: Attention belongs to people. We are a startup team with real scale behind us, based in Barcelona and working across Europe. The role You will lead design across two products. The first is a full overhaul of our existing job board, which we are turning into a two-sided talent marketplace for candidates and employers. The second is the Keen ATS, where you will lead the next wave of AI-native features. You sit where product, self-serve growth, marketing and engineering meet. What you’ll do * Lead the job board to marketplace overhaul. Audit what exists, set the direction, and redesign the candidate and employer journeys with engineering: discovery, matching, applying and hiring. * Lead innovation in the Keen ATS. Design new features, from AI pre-screening and candidate pipelines to agentic workflows that plug into a hotel's existing ATS. * Own one design system (tokens, components, patterns) shared by the marketplace and the ATS, so engineering ships faster and both feel like one product family. * Drive self-serve growth with our Head of Self-Serve Growth and CMO. Design and test sign-up, onboarding, checkout and upgrade flows against activation and conversion data.



* Work hand in hand with marketing on landing pages, campaign assets and the Keen brand in product, so brand and product read as one experience. * Run lean research. Talk to hotel recruiters and candidates, run usability tests, read the analytics, and turn findings into decisions within days. What you bring * Must have: job board or marketplace experience. You have designed for a job board, recruitment marketplace or other two-sided marketplace, and know how supply, demand and matching shape the experience. * Must have: ATS background. You have designed applicant tracking or recruiting software and understand the hiring flow end to end: job posting, sourcing, screening, interviews and offer. * 5+ years designing digital products across UI and UX, including redesigning an existing product at scale, with a portfolio of shipped work and the results it drove. * Product-led growth instincts: you have designed onboarding, pricing and checkout flows and measured them with A/B tests and funnel data. * A current craft: AI-native interfaces (agent workflows, explainable recommendations, human-in-the-loop review), mobile-first and responsive design, WCAG 2.2 accessibility, motion and micro-interactions. * Expert in Figma and design systems; you prototype quickly with AI-assisted and code-based tools and speak components and constraints with developers. * A startup mindset: you own outcomes, handle ambiguity, and move from strategy to pixels in the same day. * Fluent English and a sharp ear for UX copy. Nice to have * B2B SaaS experience. * A background in hospitality. * Hands-on Webflow (or similar) for marketing sites. * Spanish or another European language. What we offer * Real ownership: you set the design direction for two products used by millions of candidates and hundreds of employers. * A short line to the CEO, CMO and CTO; small team, fast decisions, no committees. * Competitive compensation. * Full-time; employment or freelance contract. * Based at our Barcelona office (Sant Gervasi), or remote within Europe with regular time in Barcelona. #J-18808-Ljbffr
