About the Position

Staff Product Design

Shine is the financial copilot for entrepreneurs and small business owners. Founded by serial entrepreneurs Rico Andersen and Martin Hegelund, Shine is a leading European fintech unicorn on a mission to restore the joy of running a business, by ending wasted time on financial admin. Shine offers a connected solution for invoicing, accounting, payroll, business accounts, payments, and financing, meaning business owners can focus their energy on growing a healthy business, not held back by manual admin.

Part of something bigger, today we're part of Cegid, a European leader in cloud software for finance and accounting. Together we're building Europe's leading financial copilot for small businesses and their accountants. Shine already supports more than 400,000 small businesses. As part of Cegid, we now reach over one million small businesses and 15,000 accountants across Europe.

We're a multicultural team working from France, Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, contributing to a wider European network that spans Spain, Portugal, and Belgium.

Your hiring experience matters. Just as we respect our customers' time, we respect yours. Your experience with Shine and Cegid should feel simple, transparent, and genuinely supportive. If this sounds like somewhere you want to grow, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

As a Staff Product Designer, you will:

• Own the full design process end-to-end, from framing ambiguous opportunities to validating shipped impact and supporting implementation - with minimal oversight in your domain.
• Shape a coherent product and experience vision that connects user needs with business strategy, bringing fragmented surfaces and products into a unified, native-feeling Shine ecosystem.
• Lead data-driven discovery: set up the right research frameworks, rituals, and metrics so insight-led design becomes the default, and close the loop back into product direction.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and domain experts (Tax, Banking, Accounting) to balance short-term needs against long-term coherence, making trade-offs legible and defensible.
• Uphold design quality and craft across web, mobile, and hardware surfaces, and act as a design authority for cross-product decisions, simplification, and shared patterns.
• Contribute to the unified Design System (components, tokens, governance) and drive alignment across domains.
• Anchor decisions in clear success metrics, define experience KPIs, and measure whether shipped work actually moves the needle.
• Mentor designers and own the collective quality bar of your tribe.

📍 Job located in Berlin, Madrid & Porto with the possibility of two remote working days per week.

Requirements

• 8+ years designing digital products, with a strong track record at Staff level or equivalent.
• You think in systems and ship in details. Holding a long-term vision while staying close to what users need today.
• Strong product thinking and problem framing: you turn ambiguity into clear hypotheses and make trade-offs legible to PMs and Engineers.
• Proven ability to lead data-driven discovery: you’ve set up research frameworks, defined success metrics, and used both to change decisions.
• Deep design craft with a solid grasp of engineering constraints and business context; hands-on experience contributing to design systems.
• Comfortable in lean environments - you create clarity and own scope rather than waiting for it to be defined.
• A natural collaborator across teams who builds alignment without slowing things down.
• You actively use AI tools to accelerate prototyping and exploration (Claude, Cursor).
• Bonus: experience in payments, commerce, invoicing, accounting, fintech, or hardware-adjacent interfaces (terminals, POS).

We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Opportunity to work in a leading European fintech unicorn
• Be part of a multicultural team working across multiple European countries
• Professional growth and development opportunities
