Principal Product Designer

Home buying is one of the most stressful processes, often involving multiple parties-estate agents, mortgage brokers, solicitors, lenders, and surveyors. This complexity is compounded by the need to interact with various outdated, non-standardized, and disconnected software systems used by each of these stakeholders. As a result, buyers often find themselves repeating processes and juggling communications through multiple channels like email, phone, and even fax.

Our Client's Mission

Our client is transforming the home-buying experience by rebuilding the software landscape for consumers and businesses. They offer a single cloud-based platform that simplifies and streamlines the entire process, making it a more enjoyable and seamless journey for everyone involved. Currently, they are in semi-stealth mode and have already partnered with 20 of the biggest estate agents and law firms in the UK, with a strong focus on customer referrals.

The Role: Where You Come In

We are seeking a talented Senior/Principal Product Designer on behalf of our client to join their innovative team. In this role, you will:

• Create low-fidelity mock-ups for co-creation workshops.
• Develop high-fidelity designs to effectively communicate product iterations to the development team.
• Engage in ongoing discovery to optimize digital user journeys, learning deeply about the needs of home buyers.

What We're Looking For

• Proven Experience: Significant experience in designing beautiful digital products. We'd love to see your portfolio.
• Customer-Centric Approach: Ability to learn from customers and stakeholders to craft delightful digital journeys.
• Adaptability: Willingness to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and contribute to building a product that will impact the majority of home buyers in the UK.
• Positive Attitude: A positive, team-oriented attitude is essential.

Why Join This Team?

• Impact: Lead product design and have a direct impact on the 1,500+ consumers using the platform monthly.
• Collaborative Environment: Work with a small, closely-knit team of A+ players who value quality over quantity.
• Growth Potential: Be part of a rapidly scaling product with the opportunity to influence its direction.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive Salary: A salary package in the range of £70-110k, based on your previous work quality and experience.
• Flexible Compensation: The option to decide how much of your package to take as share options to participate in the company's growth.
• Hybrid Role: Flexibility to work remotely or from our client's London office in White City. The working location and pattern will be agreed upon to achieve the best outcomes.
• Location: Being within a commutable distance to London is necessary, as the majority of clients are based in London and the surrounding areas.
