We’re looking for a hands‑on Product Designer to join an established design team and play a key role in owning and evolving our design system, while also delivering high‑quality UI and UX solutions across our product.

The balance between design system work and product delivery will shift over time. In the near term, the role will be more heavily weighted toward design system and pattern library evolution, with increasing involvement in product‑led work as the system matures.

This is a pragmatic, execution‑focused role suited to someone who enjoys making decisions, shipping work, and improving consistency at scale.

A Little About You

• 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

About the role

• 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.
