You've been a strong designer. You've led projects, maybe a small team. You've delivered great work - but within someone else's design vision. Now you're ready to build your own.
This is that role.
We're looking for a Lead Product Designer to take ownership of design at getquin. You'll define our design direction, establish how we do user research and validation, and do the hands-on work of transforming our app into something users genuinely love. You'll work directly with the CEO & product team to take a functional product and make it truly exceptional.
This is a 0-to-1 design opportunity on two fronts: elevating & unifying our existing product AND shaping entirely new product areas as we expand into comprehensive wealth management. You won't just inherit a design system and maintain it. You'll evolve it - and define the UX for features that don't even exist yet.
Own design end-to-end
Lead design strategy and execution across the entire product - mobile and web
Take features from early problem definition through research, wireframes, prototypes, visual design, and launch
Establish and maintain & evolve our design system, ensuring consistency and scalability
Define what "good" looks like for getquin and hold that bar across everything we ship, from product to brand topics
Drive user-centred decisions
Plan and conduct user research: interviews, usability testing, surveys, concept validation
Synthesize findings into actionable insights that shape product direction
Use quantitative data alongside qualitative insights to inform design decisions
Be the voice of the user in discussions - challenge assumptions with evidence
Partner closely with Product and Engineering
Collaborate daily with the PM to define problems worth solving and validate solutions
Work with engineers to ensure design intent survives implementation
Communicate design rationale clearly to stakeholders at all levels
Balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints pragmatically
Grow into design leadership
Establish design processes, documentation, and rituals that scale
Over time, expand the team and manage agency/freelancer partnerships, if required
Oversee marketing design work (ads, app store assets, campaign visuals) - either hands-on or by managing external creatives
Raise the design maturity of the organisation
Grow your role and scope as the company scales
