Our Ways of Working
We’re all about flexibility, community and a healthy work-life balance. Our hybrid model offers a 'best of both worlds' approach combining the best parts of home and office working. When you’ll be in the office depends on your role, but you can expect to work from our London office between 8-12 days per month.
To support this, the successful applicant should be within a reasonably commutable distance to our office (Gray\'s Inn Road, London, WC1X 8HB).
Join the EVolution
As a Product Designer at Pod, you’ll play a key role in crafting seamless digital experiences across our products and platforms. You’ll be at the heart of a cross-functional team, working alongside product managers, engineers, and fellow designers to bring our brand and values to life.
You’ll also be responsible for:
* Designing end-to-end product experiences across our mobile apps (primary focus), web tools, website, and internal platforms.
* Leading on interaction and motion design, crafting thoughtful animations and micro-interactions that enhance usability and delight.
* Championing accessibility and inclusion, embedding best practices into every design.
* Owning and evolving our design language—respecting and building on brand guidelines while driving the growth of our design system to ensure consistency, scalability, and accessibility across every touchpoint.
* Collaborating with product managers, engineers, and designers in cross-functional teams, shaping solutions from discovery through to delivery.
* Creating developer-ready Figma files that are slick, organised, and system-aware.
* Using Miro to facilitate workshops, map research insights, and co-create solutions.
* Planning and running user research and usability testing to validate ideas and refine product experiences.
* Using data, insights, and feedback loops to guide design decisions and improve product performance.
Electrify us with your skills
We think the role would be great for somebody who has previously worked within a Product Design setting, with a strong focus on mobile app design. We ask for the following:
* A portfolio that demonstrates end-to-end product design work with an emphasis on mobile, including interaction/motion design and accessibility.
* Deep expertise in Figma—you’re a super user who keeps files slick, scalable, and structured.
* Proven experience with Miro for workshops, research synthesis, and collaboration.
* Hands-on experience building, maintaining, and evolving design systems at scale.
* Strong understanding of WCAG guidelines, accessibility standards, and inclusive design practices.
* A customer-centric approach—grounding design decisions in user needs while balancing business goals.
* Experience collaborating with developers in agile product teams, ensuring smooth handoff from design to build.
* Confidence in running research and usability testing, from planning to synthesis.
* Strong facilitation skills to align stakeholders and guide decision-making.
* An experimental mindset—curious, adaptable, and comfortable trying new approaches, tools, and trends (including AI in design workflows).
* Someone people love to work with—positive, proactive, and a great communicator
Further to the above, if you have any experience with the following, do shout about it on your CV, as whilst not a requirement, it would certainly be a bonus if you had:
* Familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite or front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Flutter) to better collaborate with developers.
* Knowledge of A/B testing, experimentation, or analytics tools to inform design.
* Strong storytelling skills to advocate for design concepts and product vision.
