Lead Product Designer

What you'll be doing

• Contribute to the overall product and design direction of the whole company.
• Review customer feedback and analytics, proactively identify solutions to problems or optimisation opportunities and produce designs to support them.
• Collaborate with engineers, product managers, clients, partners and any other stakeholders.
• Use and evolve our internal design system.
• Create flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals for your features.
• Build upon our design culture, and (in time) recruit and manage a design team.
• Understand and learn from industry best practice, other tooling, current customer process and so on to simplify complex recruitment concepts and make them accessible to a wider range of organisations.

To do well in this role you’ll need to

• Prior experience designing interactive applications. The world of design is broad, and whilst we have incredible respect for 'traditional' designers, we're looking for someone who has prior experience designing complex software products for the web.
• A passion for design. The importance of design is already heavily embedded in our culture, and we're looking for someone who can take that and run with it - we want you to love all aspects of design, and to always be investing time in improving your design capacity.
• Empathy for our clients / users. The best software in the world is pointless if people aren't using it - we deal with a huge variety of clients, users, industries, geographies, etc. We like to take things back to first principles and not have too many preconceived notions when designing things, but we also need to listen (and watch) our users so we can help them help themselves. You shouldn't be afraid of talking to clients!
• Effective communication skills. The role is remote, and much of our existing team are remote (across a range of timezones). Quality communication skills are an absolute requirement if you want to work remotely at the pace that we do.
• An ability to contribute to complex interaction design. Our product (and the ecosystem we operate as a whole) is now very complex, and continues grow more complex by the day - you'll need to be comfortable understanding large scale systems, information architecture, flows and so on and designing solutions to radically streamline processes.
• Experience working with design systems. We've invested heavily into a design system and want to leverage that to ensure all output across the business is consistent and of high quality. That said, our product continuously evolves, and we're looking for someone who'll be comfortable building upon our design system and keeping it fresh and relevant as the business continues to scale.
