At Didero, we’re building the autonomous supply chain, starting with agentic supplier management. Global trade has never been more complex or critical. Teams are underwater, reacting to a flood of challenges - from geopolitical risk to tariffs. Didero helps by automating time-intensive workflows with AI agents and deploying cutting‑edge technology into one of the world’s most vital domains. We’re backed by some of the world’s best venture funds and leading figures across AI, supply chain and enterprise software. The opportunity is massive. Our traction is real. Come help us build the future

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
