The team at Klim is building the operating system for regenerative agriculture. We help farms restore their soil - and turn that into real, measurable business value for the food companies, banks and insurers who depend on it.
We’re a 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. Since 2020, we’ve supported +4,000 farmers managing over 900,000 hectares.
Join our incredible team of 80+ dedicated people across Germany, the UK, Poland and Czechia to help build a more sustainable, resilient food system and drive real climate impact.
Your 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'll do the hardest design work yourself and raise the level of everyone who designs around you. This means it is a player/coach role with 60% hands-on design and 40% building the system and process around you.
What you'll do
Product experience:
Own the end-to-end experience across farmer and partner journeys, from onboarding through assessment, planning and improvement, verification and reporting and paymnet, shaping journeys and value moments with product managers, not only interfaces.
Design the most 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, and track experience metrics (activation, task completion, time-to-value, satisfaction) with product and analytics.
AI-augmented design process:
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.
Engineering efficiency and quality:
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.
Coach:
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.
What you bring:
5+ years in product design, including senior or lead roles owning complex B2B or data-heavy products end to end.
Exceptional interaction and visual design craft, with mastery of Figma. You'll personally deliver the most complex and brand-critical work.
A portfolio that shows product-level impact (engagement, adoption, satisfaction), not only interface quality.
Proven ability to improve engagement and strong plus for experience running A/B tests and product experiments and strong research skills.
Proven experience building and running a design system with engineering, ideally in React and Storybook, with tokens and components treated as code.
Hands-on use of AI tools in design and delivery (e.g. Claude, Figma AI or similar), and a clear view of where they help and where they don't.
A track record of designing processes others adopt, coaching designers and enabling non-designers, while still doing strong hands-on work.
Clear communication with farmers, engineers and executives alike.
Fluent English.
Nice to have:
German, to speak directly with farmers.
Experience in agriculture, climate, sustainability or other multi-sided platforms.
Experience with multi-language products and content design.
Opportunity: Be part of our journey from the very beginning, working on an equal footing with the leadership team to build a new company.
Impact: Your work helps farmers move to regenerative practice and helps companies cut supply-chain emissions.
Ownership: you'll set how design works at Klim, with direct access to leadership and a clear influence on the product roadmap.
Competitive package: competitive salary and participation in our VSIP program.
Flexible work: At Klim, we foster a flexible, hybrid work approach and facilitate remote work (within the EU). It is advantageous for this role if you live in Berlin or can be present in our office regularly.
Additional benefits: We offer a subsidy for a membership in Urban Sports Club or the Deutschlandticket (if based in Germany), a company pension scheme, plus team lunches and regular team events.
At Klim, we believe that a thriving workplace is built on the diverse backgrounds, talents, and perspectives of our team. We grow stronger together by embracing and building on each individual’s unique strengths.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best. All hiring and personnel decisions are made solely based on qualifications, performance, and the needs of the company - ensuring fairness and equal opportunity for all.
