## Job description

ALLPLAN is a global provider of BIM software solutions for the AEC industry with a strong focus on engineering. ALLPLAN bridges design, structural analysis, detailing, prefabrication and construction, offering a portfolio of interoperable desktop and cloud solutions that enable efficient collaboration and seamless data flow across all project phases. Our solutions help AEC professionals create, manage and deliver high‑quality, build and fabrication‑ready models and documentation, connecting digital design with real‑world construction.

## ROLE

We are looking for a customer‑obsessed Product Owner Platform UI to shape the future of the user experience across the entire ALLPLAN product portfolio. In this role, you will define the vision for our user interface, lead our UI teams, and translate real‑world customer needs into intuitive, modern workflows that AEC professionals rely on every day. Acting at the intersection of product, UX and engineering, you will drive a consistent design system and ensure that every interaction across the ALLPLAN product portfolio feels clear, efficient and enjoyable for our current and future users.

## KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Product vision and strategy: Define and own the vision and strategic direction of the user interface (UI) across all ALLPLAN products, including establishing target user personas and deeply understanding their workflow needs, pain points, and expectations.
- Requirements Management and Backlog Ownership: Collect, analyze, and prioritize UI requirements from diverse sources including direct customer feedback, internal stakeholder teams, competitive market analysis, and usability testing insights. Translate these requirements into a well-structured product backlog comprising epics and user stories with clear, measurable acceptance criteria that align with both product strategy and technical feasibility.
- UX Consistency and Design System Leadership: Drive and maintain a unified design system that ensures consistent user experience across the entire ALLPLAN product portfolio. Manage the design system backlog including UI components, interaction patterns, visual styles, templates, and comprehensive guidelines that enable scalable, coherent product development.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely and collaboratively with Product Management, the UX team (UX researchers, UX/UI designers), software developers, and quality assurance testers throughout the entire product lifecycle—from initial concept and design validation through implementation and release verification of UI solutions, workflows, interactions, and design system components.
- Team Leadership and Coordination: Lead and coordinate distributed development Teams, establishing clear goals, priorities, communication protocols, and common quality standards. Organize regular synchronization meetings and create an environment that fosters effective collaboration across teams, disciplines, and time zones.
- User-Centered Validation: Validate proposed UI solutions through rigorous user research methodologies including customer interviews, interactive prototype testing, A/B testing, and quantitative analysis of user behavior patterns. Translate research findings into concrete product goals and actionable backlog adjustments that measurably improve user satisfaction.
- Internal Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate actively with Customer Success, Technical Support, Sales, and Marketing teams to systematically collect UI feedback, identify critical pain points, and effectively communicate the value and benefits of UI improvements in product releases to both internal teams and external customers.
- Release Management and Quality Assurance: Prepare comprehensive inputs for product releases, take ownership of release content from a UI perspective, and actively participate in quality verification processes to ensure delivered solutions meet defined standards and user expectations before release.
- Market Intelligence and Innovation: Continuously monitor and analyze emerging trends in CAD/BIM software, UX/UI design practices, and design system evolution. Proactively recommend improvements and innovations to enhance the usability, accessibility, and competitive positioning of ALLPLAN products in the market.
- Agile Product Management: Lead and facilitate key product ownership ceremonies including backlog refinement sessions, sprint planning, sprint reviews, and retrospectives in close cooperation with Scrum Masters and team leaders, ensuring agile best practices drive iterative, high-value improvements.
- Documentation and Knowledge Sharing: Maintain comprehensive documentation of UI decisions, design principles, interaction rules, and best practices using tools such as Confluence and internal knowledge bases. Actively promote this knowledge across ALLPLAN development teams to ensure consistency and informed decision-making.

## REQUIREMENTS:

- Education: Degree in UX/UI Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, Architecture, Engineering, or a related field.
