(Senior) Product Designer (M/W/D) Remote in Surrey, Woking

Hi, we’re Penfold - we’re on a mission to help everyone save enough to be comfortable in later life! There’s over a trillion pounds sitting in UK pensions – but most of it is with legacy providers offering outdated products and poor service. Penfold is building the pension of the future – a modern, tech-first platform that makes saving for later life easy, engaging and accessible for everyone.

We’re a growing team of 70+ builders across London and Tallinn, backed by some of the world’s leading FinTech investors. Having raised £25M+, we manage £1bn+ in pensions for over 100,000 savers and thousands of businesses — and we’re on track for profitability next year. As one of our first 70 hires, you’ll play a key role in shaping our culture and have loads of opportunity to grow, progress and make your mark.

About the role:

We’re hiring a Senior Product Designer to drive impact across two high-priority areas of the business. We’re a small but growing design function (currently 1 Lead Product Designer), which means there’s a significant opportunity for the right person to shape how design operates and scales at Penfold.

• Lead problem spaces end-to-end and help define how design operates within your product team
• Present your design work and articulate your design decisions
• Deliver measurable impact through design

What We’re Looking For:

• You have owned complex projects end-to-end, from discovery through delivery, design, and iteration
• A portfolio demonstrating recent end-to-end projects, with clear articulation of problem framing, UX thinking, and measurable impact, not just polished UI outputs
• Proven ability to plan and lead discovery initiatives, identifying high-value opportunities and prioritising them using user insights and data
• Experience in fintech or payroll
• Background in B2B or internal tooling design
• You’re not interested in the metrics side of design (we care a lot about funnels, performance, and impact)

60-minute portfolio presentation where you’ll walk us through a recent project.

Specifically, our benefits package includes:

• A competitive salary; 10% pension contribution each month that you don’t need to match (on top of your salary)
• Medical insurance, through Vitality
• Unlimited holiday, we’re interested in your output, not how many holidays you go on!
• Hybrid working, we like people to come into our office (so it would be great if you lived in the London area) at least a couple of days a week to collaborate, but we trust you to get your work done in whatever environment suits you
• Great community office space, plenty of people come into our wonderful private office near Borough Underground station.
• Free tea, coffee, soft drinks and snacks
• Free company lunch every week
• Option to buy a bike tax free, and spread the cost (using the cycle to work scheme)
• Learning and Professional Development – we conduct regular 360 feedback and focus on role progression that suits each individual. We support everyone with courses, events and coaching to help everyone reach their goals

We are 100% committed to building a diverse and representative team. Whatever your race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability - we want to hear from you. If you require any reasonable adjustments to the job description, application, or selection process, just let us know — we’d be happy to help. This helps us capture details accurately and ensures a fair review by our hiring panel. As we’re a regulated business, any offer (and ongoing employment) depends on passing the usual pre-employment and regulatory checks, which are started before your first day.
