Kaan L. Caglar

I've led design teams. Now I hire and coach product designers across Europe.

I run DesignJobs.World, a design hiring and coaching platform for Europe that I built end to end with AI agents and no engineering team. We've placed senior design hires, including a Head of Design, and coached designers into offers. I'm also Berlin ambassador for Cursor, part of SpaceXAI.

I spent 15+ years leading product design. At Zalando I was Head of Design for the Lounge Browse pillar, serving 50M+ customers in 20 markets. Before that I led design at Tourlane and at heycar, part of Volkswagen Group, and started at Samsung.

Some of my recent work includes ML personalization at Zalando Lounge, which drove about €100M in added GMV, the travel expert platform at Tourlane, and growth experiments and the first native apps at heycar. I also wrote Design Leadership Needs a New Standard.
