Product Designer (AI-First)

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 find work, how partners set up and deliver services, and how decisions are made across the platform.

We are looking for a Product Designer who can help guide that transition.

This role lies at the intersection of product strategy, behavioral design, discovery, and AI-powered 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 expands internationally, several challenges are becoming increasingly significant:

• Reducing complexity in decision-making processes

• Enabling scalable partner self-service and configuration tools

• Improving conversion, activation, retention, and operational efficiency

• Integrating AI into workflows in ways that users actually trust and adopt

The purpose of this role is to turn those challenges into validated product improvements.

Discovery-first mindset

This is a role that is heavily focused on discovery.

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

You regularly use:

• Lightweight concepts and mockups to test assumptions early on

• Use landing pages to gauge demand

• Clickable prototypes to test behavior before development

• Rapid experiments to reduce product and delivery risks

Scope of work

You are responsible for end-to-end product design within a two-sided marketplace environment.

Professional side

You design experiences such as:

• Onboarding and activation journeys

• Modular service and pricing workflows

• Assignment continuity and re-engagement experiences

• Financial and compliance-related product interfaces

• AI-powered readiness and decision support

Partner side

You design experiences such as:

• Partner onboarding and configuration tools

• Workforce and talent pool management environments

• Operational and compliance dashboards

• Demand, industry, and client intelligence insights

• Segmented journeys based on partner maturity and scale

AI in the product and workflow

AI is embedded within core product workflows and decision-making processes, rather than being added as a standalone feature layer.

You help design:

• Recommendation and matching systems

• Readiness and decision support tools

• Conversational onboarding experiences

• Predictive insights related to demand, compliance, and workforce planning

We are looking for a designer who views AI as a practical product capability and actively incorporates modern AI tools into their workflow.

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

What success looks like

In this role, success means:

• Improved conversion, activation, and retention across key customer journeys

• Reduced manual effort in onboarding and operational workflows

• Better-informed product decisions before investing in engineering

• AI-driven experiences successfully integrated into live workflows

• Clear segmentation and personalization throughout the marketplace journey

What we offer

• Direct influence on product direction and customer experience

• The opportunity to develop AI-driven marketplace products at scale

• A product environment focused on experimentation, validation, and measurable impact

• High level of ownership and close collaboration with product and engineering teams

• Hybrid work with flexible hours and an office in Hoofddorp

• 27 days of vacation, with the option to purchase additional leave

• Holiday pay and pension plan

• Budget for AI tools and support for continuous learning

• Competitive senior-level salary and benefits package
