Lead Product Designer

This is a senior consulting design position. You'll shift between owning projects from start to finish — running discovery, getting stakeholders on the same page, setting direction — and doing the hands-on design work yourself when that's what the engagement calls for.

The work centers on mature products already in the hands of real users. Success here means making what exists work better: streamlining workflows, tightening visual hierarchy, raising conversion, and cutting friction. There's little greenfield work and few obvious portfolio showpieces.

If you take pride in making a live product measurably better for the people who rely on it daily, this will suit you. What we need 6–10+ years in UX or Product Design, preferably including consultancy, agency, or embedded-team work where client and stakeholder relationships were yours to manage.

Proven range: able to lead a project or small team one week and work as a senior IC the next, depending on what the engagement requires. A history of strengthening existing products rather than launching new ones — with measurable gains in usability, conversion, or workflow efficiency to point to.

Sharp visual and UI instincts for forms, workflows, CTAs, hierarchy, and layout, plus the ability to argue a layout choice on substance. Fluency working alongside engineers against shipped code — you can look at a live interface and diagnose the problems before you ever open Figma.

Clarity in explaining the reasoning behind a design and the problem it solves, whether you're talking to an engineer or an executive. Experience running cross-functional workshops and leading business reviews or strategic planning sessions with senior stakeholders.

Helpful, not required Design experience in regulated or enterprise contexts (finance, compliance, GRC, banking, and the like). Experience designing software that lives inside third-party platforms. Familiarity with established component libraries and design systems such as MUI. A track record of m
