Product Manager - Design System (m/f/d) en Madrid

Personio is a modern all-in-one HR platform that customers love. As one of Europe’s fastest-growing technology companies, we are helping our customers across the continent become more effective, efficient, and strategic. Our core purpose is to enable better organizations by helping businesses put their people first.

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to join our Product Platform Tribe and level up Personio’s ability to scale our cross-platform design system used by all product teams. This is a strategic and rewarding role that will work cross-functionally with other tribes and Product & Engineering leadership to enable higher quality products that can deliver value faster.

You will lead a dedicated cross-functional team — including both engineering and design — to deliver the proven foundation upon which all user-facing experiences are built and enable all our products to fully represent the Personio identity. You will be part of a larger product team — each member with their own specialty - building a strong, flexible, and scalable Design System that enables and accelerates our fast growth.
