About The Role

We're hiring our first UX hire to establish user-centered design as a core discipline at Didero. You'll own the entire UX function—research, design execution, and UX infrastructure—shaping how procurement teams interact with AI-powered automation. This is a discipline‑of‑one role, but you won't be alone. You'll partner closely with the Head of Product who will provide strategic context, customer access, and decision support. You'll have autonomy on UX execution while collaborating on product strategy.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct user interviews, usability testing, and workflow analysis with procurement teams
• Create user flows, wireframes, high‑fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes
• Establish UX processes, tools, and standards from scratch
• Set up analytics and define UX success metrics aligned with business goals
• Build foundational design patterns and a basic design system
• Translate research into specs that guide engineering
• Balance depth with speed—ship pragmatically while maintaining quality

Working with Product

• Product provides: Roadmap priorities, business goals, customer access, strategic context, and decision support
• You own: User research, design execution, UX strategy, and how users accomplish their goals. You co‑create: Feature scoping, success metrics, and tradeoffs

🚀 You’ll be successful in this role if you…

• Are strong across research, visual design, and strategic thinking
• Have product sense—you understand business/technical tradeoffs and design pragmatically
• Are fluent in Figma and can create high‑fidelity mockups and prototypes quickly
• Have designed complex, multi‑step workflows (automation, AI products, enterprise tools)
• Are self‑directed but collaborative—you work autonomously but know when to seek input
• Can balance depth and speed—you know when 80% is good enough vs. when to polish
• Can articulate design decisions using research evidence and business impact

🧠 Minimum Qualifications

• Have 5+ years of UX experience in B2B SaaS, ideally shipping 0→1 products as the first or only UX person
• Portfolio demonstrating B2B/enterprise product work with case studies
• Proficiency in Figma and prototyping tools
• Understanding of AI/LLM product design patterns and human‑AI interaction
• Experience establishing UX processes from scratch

⭐ Nice to have

• Pre‑Series A startup experience
• Familiarity with procurement, supply chain, or ERP systems
• Front‑end development skills (HTML/CSS/basic JavaScript)
• Experience with design systems or analytics tools

🏗️ How We Work

• Intensity + ownership. Take full ownership. Move fast. Work hard. Be ok with unglamorous work
• Builder mindset. Design the play, prove it, scale it
• Quick learning cycles: test, fail, learn, repeat

💫 Why Didero

• Collaborative partnership: Work with a Head of Product who values UX and will be your thought partner—you'll have support and autonomy
• Ground‑floor opportunity to define UX as a discipline at a seed‑stage startup
• Small team (10 people) where your work directly shapes product and business outcomes
• Real user access: Join customer calls, conduct research directly, see your impact in real‑time
• Fascinating challenges: Design for AI agents, uncertainty, and trust in autonomous systems
• NYC‑based hybrid team with in‑person collaboration
