Senior Product Designer

Senior/Lead Product Designer London | Hybrid, 3 days/week in office | £80,000-£95,000 + 15% bonus + benefits

We're hiring on behalf of a well-established fintech business going through an exciting moment of change. After a period of running as separate regional teams across the UK, Ireland and Europe, design is now coming back together into a single, unified global team, and this role sits right at the heart of that.

The role

This is a player/coach position: roughly 60% hands-on design, 40% leadership and strategy. You'll lead a team of 3-5 designers while staying close to the work yourself, shaping both the craft and the culture as previously separate teams come together under one roof.

You'll act as the connective tissue across the design function, bringing consistency, shared standards, and a stronger sense of team to a group that's spent the last couple of years working independently.

What you'll be doing

• Leading and mentoring a small team of designers, while remaining hands-on with your own projects
• Working across the full product life cycle rather than a single narrow area
• Balancing UX and UI work evenly, with strong app design experience alongside web
• Helping unify design standards, patterns and ways of working across a newly consolidated team

What we're looking for

• Senior/Lead-level product designer with genuine breadth across products or pillars
• Startup or fast-paced experience, comfortable moving quickly with less process
• Strong UI craft, this role leans visual and interaction-design heavy, not just UX/research
• Solid app design experience, at least 50/50 split with web
• A portfolio that tells a story, we want to see your thinking and process, not just headline metrics
• Real player/coach experience: you've led people as well as done the work yourself

Good to know

• 3 days a week in a Bank/Moorgate office, easy commute from most of London
• This isn't the right fit if your background is mainly large corporate/enterprise or banking environments, or centred on checkout products
