Who we are

Workbench is the central design system behind Mercedes-Benz customer-facing sales websites worldwide and beyond. It is the brand-approved single source of compliant digital brand and design guidelines for more than 50 touchpoints across Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG, and Mercedes-Maybach, ranging from component libraries and design tokens to documentation and governance.

Our team sits in the Solution Management and Architecture department of MB.OC (Mercedes-Benz Omnichannel) and works daily with designers, developers, architects, and brand stakeholders across the globe.

Following the successful global go-live of the latest Digital Design version, we are shaping the next chapter by scaling adoption to new touchpoints, modernizing the documentation platform, and making the design system readable and usable by AI tools.

Your tasks

Support the Product Manager in steering the Workbench product, including product direction activities, request handovers to other product teams, roadmap planning, budget management, stakeholder management, and coordination of design teams.
Prepare content for management, markets, and stakeholders, including presentations, product one-pagers, release and go-live communications, and newsletters.
Track and visualize adoption, including tenant onboarding status, usage and impact metrics, and reporting for management.
Support tenant and stakeholder management through meeting preparation, minutes, follow-ups, and maintenance of the stakeholder overview.
Contribute to the AI-readiness initiative through research, structuring, and testing of machine-readable design system content.
Benchmark and research how other design systems and companies address adoption, governance, and documentation.
Help prepare and facilitate team formats such as workshops, weekly calls, and market broadcasts.
Provide ad hoc support to the wider team on Solution Management topics across the Mercedes-Benz Omnichannel portfolio.
