Job description

AXA Climate & Altitude

At AXA Climate, we believe climate and nature should be treated as first-class stakeholders in business decisions - just like customers, employees or shareholders.

AXA Climate brings together 200+ climate experts across 5 continents, combining deep scientific expertise with pragmatic solutions. Our work spans Insurance, Training, Consulting and SaaS products, all driven by one ambition: turning climate and environmental challenges into concrete, actionable decisions.

Altitude is the SaaS arm of AXA Climate. We build decision-making tools that help Private Equity, Infrastructure funds and Corporate leaders understand, anticipate and act on climate and nature-related risks.

The Altitude team is 60+ people (product, design, engineering, data, account executives,…) operating with strong autonomy, while collaborating closely with consulting and scientific experts.

We already work with 100+ asset managers and 40+ major corporate players in Europe and the US. It’s now time for step 2!

Our product and design mindset

We are a product-driven team, convinced that thoughtful design can make complex topics usable, understandable and actionable. Our users deal with uncertainty, long-term risks and high-stakes decisions. Our role is to help them focus on what matters, not struggle with the tool.

We care about:

  • Real user problems (not just feature delivery),

  • Strong product discovery,

  • Continuous improvement,

  • … and collective learning.

Design is not a “final layer” at Altitude, it’s a core part of how we build products.

About the role

As a Product Designer at Altitude, you won’t just design screens. You’ll help shape how climate and environmental adaptation becomes operational for thousands of decision-makers. You’ll be embedded in the product teams, working end-to-end on complex, high-impact problems, from early discovery to production.

You’ll collaborate closely with:

  • Product Managers (on vision, discovery and prioritization),

  • Tech Leads & Engineers (to build and ship high-quality solutions),

  • Other designers to continuously raise the bar,

  • Business stakeholders (KAM, CSMs, Account Executives,…)

You’ll work with several squads, with a strong level of ownership and autonomy.

What you will do

1. Design meaningful, actionable user experiences

  • Lead user research, interviews and discovery work to deeply understand user needs and mental models.

  • Translate complex topics (climate risk, scenarios, indicators) into clear, intuitive experiences.

  • Design user journeys, flows, wireframes, high-fidelity interfaces and prototypes.

  • Iterate with product & tech teams to validate solutions before and after launch.

Your north star: make the complex feel simple and useful.

2. Contribute to a strong product & design culture

  • Work hand-in-hand with Product Managers to bring the product vision to life.

  • Actively contribute to design standards, patterns and best practices.

  • Share feedback and help grow design maturity across squads.

  • Advocate for user-centered thinking in product discussions and delivery.


Preferred experience

  • 3+ years of experience as a Product Designer, ideally on SaaS products.

  • Strong UX fundamentals, solid UI craft, and a portfolio that shows your thinking.

  • Comfortable owning design topics across multiple squads.

  • Structured, pragmatic and adaptable: you bring clarity to complex problems.

  • Detail-oriented, with a taste for clean, elegant and coherent interfaces.

  • Collaborative by default, and comfortable challenging ideas (including your own).

  • Curious about climate, impact and meaningful products.

  • Fluent in French and English.


Recruitment process

  • Initial call with Raphaël (Altitude CPO)

  • Case study at home

  • 4 skills-based interviews
