About Klim

• Building the operating system for regenerative agriculture to help farms restore soil and create measurable business value for food companies, banks, and insurers.
• Berlin-based agritech startup backed by $22M in Series A funding.
• Partnering with global food leaders such as Nestlé and ADM to build supply chain resilience through regenerative agriculture.
• Supported +4,000 farmers managing over 900,000 hectares since 2020.
• Team of 80+ people across Germany, the UK, Poland, and Czechia.

About the Role

• Mission: Own the design experience of Klim end to end and build the AI-augmented design process that lets a small design team and product managers ship coherent, high-quality work at scale.
• You will do the hardest design work yourself and raise the level of everyone who designs around you.
• This is a player/coach role with 60% hands-on design and 40% building the system and process around you.
• Work on an equal footing with the leadership team to build a new company.
• Work helps farmers move to regenerative practice and helps companies cut supply-chain emissions.
• Set how design works at Klim, with direct access to leadership and a clear influence on the product roadmap.
• Flexible, hybrid work approach facilitating remote work within the EU.
• Advantageous if you live in Berlin or can be present in the office regularly.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own the end-to-end experience across farmer and partner journeys, from onboarding through assessment, planning and improvement, verification, reporting, and payment, shaping journeys and value moments with product managers.
• Design complex and brand-critical work, from wireframes and flows to polished, high-fidelity interaction and visual design.
• Cut farmer effort with a focus on "enter once, used everywhere" data capture, simpler onboarding, and self-serve help.
• Run continuous research, usability testing, and A/B tests with farmers and partners.
• Track experience metrics (activation, task completion, time-to-value, satisfaction) with product and analytics.
• Own and deliver Klim's AI-augmented design model, maintaining highest quality while enabling others to deliver simpler design needs under your guidance.
• Own the canonical Design System with engineering: components and page templates, with code as the source of truth and Figma kept in sync.
• Define the handoff contract and the automated and human coherence checks, using AI tooling (e.g. Claude Code, Claude Design, Figma, Storybook) and rules AI tools can follow.
• Measure and improve the process: self-serve share, first-pass coherence, review time, engineering rework, and ticket-to-design lead time.
• Partner with engineering leads to simplify and standardise how UI is built, so new features reuse proven patterns instead of starting from scratch.
• Reduce design-related rework by making requirements, states, and edge cases explicit before build.
• Govern the intake of new patterns and log any exceptions so the system grows deliberately rather than drifting.
• Enable product managers to design simpler elements well within the system through templates, patterns, content rules, and review.
• Build design rituals (critique, design reviews, a shared quality bar) and make the case for design decisions with evidence across product, engineering, and commercial teams.
