About Hey Savi

Hey Savi is redefining the way women search for fashion. Think Shazam meets Spotify — but for fashion. We're sparking a new era of fashion discovery, igniting confidence in everybody and every body, and creating a world where fashion confidence starts with "Hey Savi…". As a female-founded startup, we're at an exciting stage and shaping something truly game-changing in the world of fashion discovery.

Our community doesn't want to scroll through paid ads and dead-end links. They want fashion that fits — in stock, in their size, at the best price — with a search experience that puts them at the centre. We're creating a movement, not just a product, and we're looking for someone exceptional to own both the strategy and the craft of how it gets built.

The Role

This is a hands-on role (six-month initial contract) for a Product specialist who wants more than just a brief. Someone who wants to help shape a product from the ground up and have a real stake in where it goes.

You'll work directly with the founders to absorb their vision and customer insight, translate it into clear product requirements, and then drive those requirements all the way through to designed, shipped experiences. You bring both the product thinking and the design craft. The founders bring the vision, you bring the customer knowledge.

This is a doing role. You'll be writing specs, designing flows, reviewing builds, and keeping engineering moving. The founders will be closely involved in shaping direction, particularly in the early weeks, so you won't be flying blind — but you will be expected to take the ball and run with it quickly.

The perm pathway is real. If the fit is right, this role converts to a permanent Head of Product & Design with a competitive salary, meaningful equity, and full ownership of the function.

What You'll Do

Product Requirements & Discovery

Work directly with the founders to understand product vision, business goals, and customer insight — they'll be an active partner in this, not a passive stakeholder
Translate founder and customer input into clear, actionable requirements that design and engineering can execute on
Own the documentation — specs, epics, user stories, acceptance criteria so nothing gets lost between conversation and delivery
Keep the backlog prioritised and the team focused on the highest-impact work

Hands-On UI/UX Design

Design user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI yourself in Figma.
Create experiences that are intuitive, on-brand, and built to scale
Iterate quickly based on feedback, data, and your own instinct for what works
Begin laying the foundations of a design system that will grow with the product

Team Collaboration

Work closely with our iOS, web and Android team to ensure requirements and designs are feasible, well understood, and delivered to spec
Provide clean, detailed handoffs and stay engaged through implementation
Flag issues early, iterate in real time, and keep delivery moving

User-Centred Thinking

Keep the end user front and centre in every product and design decision
Contribute to lightweight research and usability testing where needed
Use customer feedback and data to continuously improve the experience

Growth Thinking

Bring awareness of how product and design decisions affect acquisition, engagement, and retention
Work alongside our Head of Data to champion the meaningful metrics that we look at every day
Think about stickiness — what makes customers come back to Hey Savi as part of their routine

How You'll Work

With Founders: Regular, close collaboration, they'll be actively involved in shaping requirements and direction; your job is to structure, execute, and deliver on that input
With Engineering: Daily partnership to ensure what gets designed gets built right
With Customers: Engagement with user feedback and research to keep decisions grounded in real needs
With the Backlog: Ownership of prioritisation, ensuring the team is always working on what matters most

Requirements

A Strong Product & Design Generalist

You're comfortable holding both the PM and design remit — not necessarily equally expert in both, but capable and confident across the full arc from requirements to shipped UI. You might lean more design or more PM by background; what matters is that you can do both to a high standard in a startup context.

Hands-On and Execution-Focused

You can take a direction and run with it. You don't need a fully formed brief or a team beneath you. You're used to working lean and delivering quickly without dropping quality.

Solid B2C Product Experience

You've designed or shipped consumer-facing digital products before and understand what makes them work for users and for the business. You don't need to have scaled a rocket ship, but you need to have built things real people use.

A Collaborator with Founders

You're comfortable working directly with founders, absorbing their thinking, pushing back constructively, and translating vision into something buildable. You're a partner, not just an executor.

Startup-Minded

You thrive in early-stage environments. You're comfortable with ambiguity, energised by ownership, and focused on impact. You know that things change fast and you adapt without drama.

Clear Communicator

You write specs engineers can build from and present design decisions with a clear rationale. You bring clarity to ambiguous situations rather than waiting for someone else to provide it.

What Success Looks Like (First 3–6 Months)

Founders have a trusted execution partner who takes their vision and turns it into clear requirements and great experiences
Engineering is unblocked, aligned, and shipping consistently
The Hey Savi product experience feels noticeably more intuitive, polished, and on-brand
With our initial users, we have made great steps into creating meaningful product market fit, we’re looking for someone to help us to smash this.
The foundations of a scalable design system are in place
User feedback and data are actively shaping decisions
Key engagement and retention metrics are moving in the right direction

Benefits

A genuine perm pathway — this isn't a holding exercise, it's a real conversion opportunity
Direct access to the founders and meaningful influence over product direction from day one
Equity on conversion — a real stake in what you help build
The chance to shape a category-defining B2C product at an exciting early stage
Remote working with flexibility (UK based, London visits 1–2 days/week)
