Product Designer

Role Overview

• Take ownership of design system that spans multiple platforms, technologies, and mediums. This includes web (React components), legacy web applications, native mobile apps, Figma libraries, and AI‑assisted product experiences.
• Responsible for evolving the design system as the product grows, ensuring it remains scalable, coherent, and usable across an increasingly complex product landscape.
• Develop and maintain a pattern‑led system that brings consistency to behaviour, layout, language, and interaction.
• Drive standardisation across a large and growing product, while applying sound judgement and pragmatism where full parity across platforms isn’t immediately possible.
• Define and document clear guidance around usage rules, component states and variations, edge cases, accessibility, responsive behaviour, and internationalisation, including RTL support.
• Own UI copy standards, voice and tone guidance, and terminology, ensuring language is clear, inclusive, accessible, and consistent across features, platforms, and technologies.
• Make decisions about when to reuse existing patterns, when to extend them, and when new patterns are needed, balancing speed, quality, and long‑term maintainability.
• Working closely with front‑end engineering teams, you’ll ensure designs translate cleanly into production code, with scalable, reusable components and consistently implemented behaviour, layout, and language.
• Support the integration of standalone platforms introduced through company acquisitions, progressively aligning UI patterns, behaviour, and language with the core design system.
• Work closely with other Product Designers, content contributors, and front‑end teams to deliver cohesive, high‑quality product experiences that evolve over time.

Requirements

• Strong UI design skills with clear systems thinking
• Experience contributing to or owning parts of a design system, including scalable component design
• Confidence documenting design decisions, patterns, and language usage
• Strong understanding of UI copy, microcopy, and tone of voice
• Experience designing for:
• Responsive layouts
• Scalable, reusable components
• Internationalisation and RTL considerations
• Comfort working closely with front‑end engineers
• Solid understanding of how technology choices and constraints influence design decisions, particularly across legacy systems and modern front‑end frameworks
• Proven ability to work effectively in a context‑switching environment while maintaining quality and momentum
• Experience delivering at pace, with a clear bias toward execution and delivery
• Ability to work on greenfield projects as well as navigate and improve complex, evolving product areas
• A pragmatic, collaborative approach, focused on outcomes over perfection
• Strong problem‑solving skills with a high degree of ownership and agency
• High bandwidth — engaged, sharp, and quick to grasp context
• Curiosity about AI, with evidence of using AI productively in design workflows or problem‑solving
• Enthusiasm for tackling new challenges and continuously improving how work gets done
