Principal Product Designer

We believe it takes great people to create a great product. That’s why our team lives our company values, and we hire based on them, too. Since 2010, Pipedrive has been on a mission to support sales and marketing teams with easy-to-use, powerful tools that make everyday work faster and easier. Today, our cloud-based software is trusted by over 100,000 companies and used in 179 countries. We have grown from a five-person team to a truly international company of over 850+ people, representing more than 50 nationalities, with ten offices distributed across Europe and the US. In 2020, Pipedrive received a majority investment from Vista Equity Partners, a global investment firm that invests exclusively in enterprise software, data and technology-enabled businesses, making Pipedrive the fifth unicorn from Estonia.

We’re looking for a Principal Product Designer who operates at the intersection of deep craft and strategic thinking. Someone who cares as much about a perfectly resolved interaction as they do about reframing the problem itself. You will shape not only what we build, but why we build it. AI is no longer a feature layer - it is redefining workflows, user expectations, and what great software feels like. We want a designer who has already internalised this shift and is genuinely curious about where human judgment and machine capability meet. Working closely with Product, Engineering, and leadership, you’ll help define AI-native experiences that are thoughtful, ambitious, and exceptionally well-crafted. If you bring strong product intuition, systems thinking, and a high bar for execution, we’d love to hear from you!

Your new adventure:

Define and maintain design systems, patterns, and components that work consistently across product surfaces

Frame problem and opportunity spaces clearly, turning ambiguous inputs into actionable design directions

Design end-to-end user flows, from high-level architecture through to detailed interaction and visual design

Prototype and validate ideas quickly, using AI-assisted workflows to accelerate exploration and iteration

Review and critique design work across the team, providing specific and constructive feedback

Conduct and synthesise design reviews, usability observations, and feedback loops to inform ongoing work

Contribute to and uphold craft standards across the team, including interaction details, edge cases, and visual consistency

Does this sound like you?

At least 8+ years of experience working as a product designer or similar role

Ability to design end-to-end product experiences, from flow and structure through to detailed visual and interaction design

Strong systems thinking, ability to design components, patterns, and guidelines that scale across a product

Ability to frame and communicate design decisions clearly in written and verbal form, including to non-design audiences

Fluency with AI-assisted design and prototyping workflows as part of day-to-day practice

Experience working in fast-moving product teams with short iteration cycles

Comfortable working with ambiguity and defining the brief as part of the work, not just responding to one

Collaborative working style with product, engineering, and research counterparts

Familiarity with the specific product domain or industry

Experience running or contributing to user research and usability testing

Working knowledge of front-end constraints and implementation considerations

Experience contributing to or owning a design system at team or organisation scale
