Our Role
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who’s excited about growth and has a track record of making a real, measurable impact at scale. You’ll lead design work across key growth initiatives, shaping experiences that improve acquisition, onboarding, engagement, and long-term retention across both web and app.

You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to spot high-impact opportunities, form clear hypotheses, and design, test, and refine solutions that move both user and business metrics. This is a hands-on, craft-driven role for someone who cares deeply about the details, thinks in systems, and designs for real.

The role sits at the intersection of user-centered design, strategy, and problem-solving. You’ll use data and research to uncover insights, simplify complex flows, advocate for users, and help teams learn and ship through experimentation and iteration.

Role Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end design for key initiatives across our network of sites and ecosystems.

• Identify and prioritise opportunities across the full user lifecycle using research, analysis, and product intuition.

• Define, design, and iterate on experiments that improve activation, engagement, retention, and long-term value.

• Partner with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Community to shape strategy, define hypotheses, and measure impact.

• Turn complex systems and constraints into intuitive, scalable, and accessible experiences.

• Move comfortably from low-fidelity exploration to high-fidelity, production-ready designs and interactive prototypes (code-based prototyping is a plus).

• Contribute to and evolve our design systems to support consistency, speed, and scale as the product grows.

• Act as a design leader within cross-functional teams by offering thoughtful critique, mentorship, and clear direction.

Role Requirements

• Significant experience in product design, UX/UI, with increasing ownership and scope.

• A strong portfolio that shows user-centered thinking, strategic problem-solving, and measurable product impact.

• Experience designing consumer-facing digital products; familiarity with UGC platforms or creator ecosystems is a strong plus.

• Proven ability to simplify complex workflows and systems into clear, approachable experiences.

• High proficiency with Figma and modern design workflows.

• Experience working closely with engineering and product teams in agile, cross-functional environments.

• A solid understanding of how design decisions affect metrics, performance, and long-term product health.

• Experience designing for both web and desktop.

• Comfortable collaborating with engineers and using prototypes (Framer, Lovable, Cursor, Figma, or code) to communicate and validate ideas.

• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and will use your initiative to push projects forward.

• Familiarity with Linear for issue tracking and collaboration, is a plus.
