Product Designer AI First, Hoofddorp

Product Designer (AI First) Build AI driven marketplace experiences at scale

At Striive, we are evolving from a structured services platform into a modular, intelligence driven marketplace.

That shift changes how professionals discover work, how partners configure and deliver services, and how decisions are made across the platform.

We are looking for a Product Designer who can help shape that transition. This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, behavioural design, discovery, and AI enabled user experiences. You will work across both sides of a two sided marketplace and translate complex product challenges into validated experiences with measurable impact.

Why this role exists As the platform scales internationally, several challenges become increasingly important:

Reducing complexity in decision making journeys

Enabling scalable partner self service and configuration tooling

Improving conversion, activation, retention, and operational efficiency

Embedding AI into workflows in ways users actually trust and adopt

This role exists to turn those challenges into validated product improvements.

Discovery first mindset This is a strongly discovery led role.

Before building solutions, you help define and validate what should be built. We value experimentation, behavioural evidence, and measurable learning over assumptions or hierarchy.

You regularly use:

Lightweight concepts and mockups to test assumptions early

Fake door landing pages to validate demand

Clickable prototypes to test behaviour before development

Rapid experiments to reduce product and delivery risk

Scope of work You own end to end product design across a two sided marketplace environment.

Professional side You design experiences such as:

Onboarding and activation journeys

Modular service and pricing flows

Assignment continuity and re engagement experiences

Financial and compliance related product surfaces

AI supported readiness and decision guidance

Partner side You design experiences such as:

Partner onboarding and configuration tooling

Workforce and talent pool management environments

Operational and compliance dashboards

Demand, sector, and client intelligence experiences

Segmented journeys based on partner maturity and scale

AI in the product and workflow AI is embedded within core product flows and decision making journeys, not added as a standalone feature layer.

You help design

Recommendation and matching systems

Readiness and decision support tooling

Conversational onboarding experiences

Predictive insights related to demand, compliance, and workforce planning

We are looking for a designer who treats AI as practical product capability and actively uses modern AI tooling as part of their workflow.

You are comfortable using tools such as Cursor, Claude, v0, Lovable, or Figma Make to rapidly move from concept to testable prototype. We value fast iteration cycles and independent experimentation.

What success looks like In this role, success means:

Improved conversion, activation, and retention across critical journeys

Reduced manual effort within onboarding and operational workflows

Better validated product decisions before engineering investment

AI driven experiences successfully adopted within live workflows

Clear segmentation and personalisation across marketplace journeys

at least one consumer facing journey focused on onboarding, activation, conversion, or persuasion

A product flow that measurably improved conversion, activation, retention, or monetisation

End to end journey thinking rather than isolated interface work

Strong discovery ownership, including interviews, testing, validation, and experimentation

The ability to connect design decisions to behavioural insight, product metrics, and commercial outcomes

Comfort working with product analytics and data heavy workflows

Experience using AI tooling to accelerate research, prototyping, iteration, or product exploration

Nice to have

Marketplace or platform experience

Experience within HR tech, fintech, or operational SaaS environments
