We're seeking an experienced Lead Product Designer to help define the future of our growing B2B SaaS platforms across Health & Safety, HR, and Compliance. You’ll bring clarity to complexity, raise the bar for quality, and support the personal and professional growth of our design team.
As our most senior hands-on designer, you'll shape meaningful product experiences while also nurturing team craft, guiding design rituals, and improving design operations. You’ll work closely with product managers, engineers, and researchers - blending leadership with end-to-end execution.
What You’ll Do
Product Design
* Lead design across key strategic initiatives from discovery through delivery.
* Translate complex business workflows into elegant, user-focused experiences - with a mobile-first mindset where it matters most.
* Own and evolve interaction design, information architecture, and visual design.
* Run collaborative workshops to align stakeholders across product and engineering.
* Act as a mentor, coach, and role model to designers across the team.
* Facilitate weekly design critiques and 1:1s to strengthen quality and consistency.
* Champion design thinking to guide how we prioritise, experiment, and build.
Design Operations & Systems
* Partner with the Group Product Director to evolve our cross-platform design system.
* Improve design QA, cross-functional collaboration, and handoff workflows.
* Help scale and streamline our design processes with tooling, tokens, and systems.
Research & Validation
* Collaborate with UX researchers to define problems and validate solutions.
* Translate insights into meaningful product improvements.
* Foster a culture of evidence-based decision-making.
What You’ll Bring
* 5+ years of product design experience, with at least 1–2 years in a lead or senior role.
* Proven ability to lead and deliver complex initiatives end-to-end.
* Excellent UX and UI skills with a clear, user-centred rationale.
* A mobile-first approach to design, with sensitivity to real-world usage patterns across devices and contexts.
* A track record of mentoring designers and influencing team culture.
* Systems thinking: able to zoom out to shape design standards and zoom in on execution.
* Strong communication skills, especially when working with non-design stakeholders.
* Proficiency with Figma, Jira, and working within design systems.
