Senior Product Designer - Global Accounting / Expenses

Shine exists to help freelancers and small business owners reclaim the joy of working for themselves.
Running a business shouldn't mean drowning in financial admin – it should be inspiring and rewarding. Our app brings banking, invoicing, accounting and admin together in one place, so entrepreneurs can focus on what matters most: growing their business and enjoying the freedom of working for themselves.

We're a multicultural team of over 400 people across France, Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands. By bringing together leading European fintechs like Shine, Kontist and Tellow, we've built a single, intuitive platform designed for simplicity, speed and accuracy, backed by local, award-winning support.

Your hiring experience matters

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

The Product Design team at Shine

To help Shine achieve its ambitious roadmap and company goals, our Product Design team is made up of 15 talented people across four areas: Staff Design, Copywriting, Banking, and Invoicing & Accounting, which you’ll be part of.

In this role, you’ll join the Global Accounting domain and work closely with a cross-functional squad (Product, Engineering, Data, Ops) to improve the Expenses experience across web and mobile.

Your direct manager will be David Mühlfeld, Head of Design (Invoices & Accounting), and you’ll partner day-to-day with your Product and Engineering counterparts within the squad.

Your role as a Senior Product Designer

You’ll own the end-to-end design of our Expenses experience across web and mobile - from discovery to shipped impact. Your mission is to improve usability, consistency, and measurable product outcomes, in close partnership with Product and Engineering.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Own the full design process: opportunity framing → discovery → solution → delivery → measurement
• Improve UX on the Expenses product (web + mobile) and ship high-quality iterations
• Use qualitative and quantitative signals (research, support insights, product data) to guide decisions
• Define success metrics with your PM and close the loop post-launch
• Collaborate with UX writing/localization and ensure clarity across markets
• Contribute patterns to the design system and uphold design QA standards
• Align closely with adjacent Accounting and Banking teams to keep the experience coherent
• Participate in design rituals and raise quality while shipping pragmatically

📍 Job located in Berlin / Copenhagen / Paris, with possibility of two remote working days per week.

About you

• 6+ years experience designing digital products in fast-paced tech environments (fintech/accounting/SaaS is a plus)
• Proven end-to-end product ownership with shipped outcomes (not only polished UI)
• Strong product thinking & problem framing (turn vague asks into clear bets/hypotheses)
• Demonstrated user research & synthesis that changes decisions
• Confident with cross-platform design (web + mobile)
• Strong collaboration in a product trio (PM + Engineering), comfortable with ambiguity
• Clear communicator in English (written and spoken)
• Data-informed mindset: you can define success and validate impact
• Bonus: technical literacy, domain expertise (expenses/accounting), mentorship
