Job Brief

We're looking for a passionate and experienced Head of Product Design to join our team and lead a key workstream within our fast-growing company. You'll play a critical role in shaping the user experience of our consumer-facing products, driving business impact, and building a world-class design team.

You are a humble yet assertive leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and isn't afraid to get hands-on. You have a proven track record of managing multiple workstreams and a strong commercial mindset that allows you to balance rapid experimentation with a high bar for quality.

Please note this is a hybrid role with two days per week in our London office.

What You'll Do

• Commercial Acumen: You’ll be a key driver of value for both the business and our customers. This means understanding the “why” behind every project, clearly communicating the rationale to stakeholders, and ensuring that your team’s work is commercially sound and focused on creating tangible business impact.
• Design Leadership: Lead the design of a core product workstream across our app and web platforms, ensuring a high-quality, user-centered experience from ideation to implementation. You’ll be the expert in your domain, guiding the team and overseeing the entire design workflow.
• Team Management & Coaching: Directly manage and mentor a team of talented product designers. You’ll provide regular feedback, conduct reviews, and foster their professional growth, helping them reach their full potential.
• Strategic Collaboration: Partner closely with your workstream’s Product Lead to shape project briefs and align design efforts with broader company objectives. You will also drive alignment on design priorities and delivery timelines with senior stakeholders.
• Functional Excellence: Champion the use of lean UX principles and a data-driven approach to design. You’ll be responsible for measuring and improving the impact of your team’s work and driving functional improvements within the design department.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate effectively with product managers, engineers, and other leads across the product design function (UX, UI, and Research) to ensure seamless delivery and a cohesive user experience.

What we’re looking for

• Experienced Leader: A leader with a minimum of 10 years of experience in product design, with a significant portion of that time spent in a leadership role.
• Fintech & Startup Experience: Demonstrable experience within a consumer-facing fintech company, preferably at a scale-up or startup stage. You should have a strong understanding of the UK fintech landscape and emerging trends in consumer finance.
• Expert Manager & Coach: Proven ability to manage, coach, and inspire a team of product designers. You know how to delegate effectively, provide constructive feedback, and support your team’s growth.
• Strategic & Pragmatic: You possess a strong product sense and can make sensible tradeoffs to balance user needs with business goals. You are flexible in your approach and can switch between leading and hands-on design work as needed.
• Exceptional Communicator: You excel at stakeholder management and can articulate design decisions and their business impact to both technical and non-technical audiences. You have the ability to speak with business fluency.

What’s in it for you?

• Opportunity to join a fast-growing, award-winning and super ambitious business.
• Work with a friendly team of highly motivated individuals.
• Be in an environment where you are listened to and can actually have an impact.
• Thriving collaborative and inclusive company culture.
• Competitive remuneration package.
• Company shares
• Company pension scheme
• Hybrid working environment
• Home office furniture allowance
• Personal Annual Learning and Development budget
• Private Medical Insurance
• Health Cash Plan (cashback on visits to the dentist & opticians etc)
• Cycle to work scheme
• Gympass subscription to a variety of gyms and wellbeing apps
• Enhanced parental pay & leave
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays with additional days added with length of service.
