Share our passion for water and join us on an exciting journey Water is our source of life, our everything. Without the joy of pure water we cannot live. So together we must protect it. At BRITA we promise to keep water protected and nurtured by inspiring as many people as possible with our BRITA "Water Smart" ideas to enjoy drinking water sustainably in new ways every day. We have a positive impact on our planet by inspiring change and empowering you to enjoy great drinking water in a smart and simple way. With us, you are part of something big, a global team of over 2,000 employees that sticks together like a family. We give you the space you need and the trust you deserve. Each and every individual matters, and we value your dedication. Because only when you feel comfortable with us can we achieve great things together.  

Bring our brand to life – across every touchpoint.

At BRITA, we're on a mission to change the way people experience water. With decades of heritage and deep roots in Germany, we’ve evolved into a global company—and now, we’re transforming our brand into a purpose-driven lifestyle experience. Our products help reduce plastic waste and promote conscious consumption, all while delivering premium quality and innovation.

To support this transformation, we’ve established an internal Design Team dedicated to creating a seamless, holistic, and emotionally resonant brand experience—not just with agencies, but from the heart of our company. And now, we're looking for a User Experience (UX) Design Manager who shares our ambition to elevate design into a strategic growth driver.

 

Your purpose

You’ll be the driving force behind a consistent, high-impact User Experience across all BRITA touchpoints—physical and digital. Your work will strengthen our market differentiation, increase customer loyalty, and ultimately build the business value of our brand through design.

 

This role sits at the exciting intersection of process and implementation:

• You’ll build strong bridges between teams and disciplines, aligning UX across the company and creating robust systems, guidelines, and tools.
• At the same time, you’ll shape and realize tangible touchpoints—product, interface, packaging, media—with a sharp eye for consistency, desirability, and seamless integration.

 

Your impact

• Own and orchestrate UX across multiple business units and project teams—bringing strategy, design, and execution together.
• Develop cohesive UX concepts and lead their implementation across physical and digital products.
• Align cross-functional teams (e.g., R&D, engineering, marketing, external partners) to create consistent and customer-centric experiences.
• Design clear processes, principles, and systems to ensure scalability, consistency, and emotional brand impact.
• Contribute to all four core BRITA design categories: product design, graphic design, interaction design, and media design.
• Conduct and translate user research insights into relevant, feasible, and desirable UX solutions.

 

What you bring

• Several years of UX design experience within a company, ideally in consumer goods, lifestyle or small appliances
• A genuine passion for user needs and the ability to turn insights into seamless, delightful experiences
• Solid knowledge of human-centered design methods and tools like FIGMA, Adobe XD and other prototyping Des
