Nearcut: Senior Product Designer

We are looking for a skilled Senior Product Designer who can own the end-to-end design process from discovery to delivery. You’ll be joining our dynamic product team as the sole designer and taking the lead on user experience: from complex interaction design to user research and building scalable design systems. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to shape product direction in a client-focused, data-driven environment.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work closely with the product, marketing and development teams to drive user-centered design decisions that delight clients and accelerate development:

• Designing user flows that solve complex client problems while maintaining excellent visual taste—creating solutions that convert well, feel intuitive, and align with our brand and design system
• Leveraging and participating in discovery research including competitor analysis, user feedback synthesis (Intercom, interviews, PostHog surveys), and data analysis
• Building and maintaining design systems that enable faster, consistent development
• Owning UX decisions while collaborating closely with colleagues across Product, Development, Marketing, and Client Relations
• Upholding and evolving our brand guidelines to create a distinct, coherent experience for clients and prospective leads
• Partnering directly with developers to iterate solutions in code rather than over-designing upfront
• Measuring design impact through data analysis to continuously improve the client experience
• Creating efficient design processes and documentation that help the entire team work better

Your experience

• You have 5+ years of directly applicable experience with a strong portfolio of complex B2B or SaaS applications
• You’re highly organized and self-managing, able to structure your own work and prioritize effectively
• You create reusable design patterns and component libraries that accelerate development, rather than designing one-off solutions
• You have experience collaborating closely with product, marketing and development teams and iterating on solutions during development
• You excel at leveraging and participating in discovery work: synthesizing user research, competitive analysis, and data analytics to inform design decisions
• You can move fast and are happy to iterate on solutions rather than perfecting designs upfront

Nice-to-have

• Experience in booking/scheduling software or tools for service-based businesses
• Experience with Figma for design and prototyping, and Posthog for product analytics

Benefits of our working environment

• High autonomy and responsibility: We’re a small team with a big product and client base, so every individual has lots of independence and scope for impact.
• Remote-first: We are a remote-first company without an in-person office. We trust our employees to work flexibly and autonomously to efficiently meet business goals.
• Limited hierarchy: We’re not bothered about titles or seniority. Everyone is a member of the team and valued as an independent individual contributor. You’re supported and autonomous.
• Flexible working hours: Aside from regular team meetings and availability during the normal workday, we are happy for you to complete your work whenever you’re most productive.
• Close and supportive team: Although we work remotely, our team is close-knit and colleagues are always there to help one another.
• Continuous client feedback: Our clients are small business owners who are very grateful to have our support. We are privileged to work closely with them to continue to improve our product and their experience.

“Everyone is pulling in the same direction and supports each other. I’ve never worked for a company that gets so much positive feedback from the clients – we can really see the impact of our work. I also enjoy that fact that we work remotely and can be flexible.”

• Nearcut colleague for more than 3 years

“Working at Nearcut is a breath of fresh air! The business is full to the brim of great people who are motivated to improve themselves and the business on the whole, and the entire company is structured to allow individuals to thrive. I haven’t looked back since joining!”

• Nearcut colleague for more than 1 year

What you’ll get

• A remote-first, autonomous working environment; one where you’re proactively making and communicating your own decisions; not being told what to do next
• The opportunity to significantly impact product direction
• Direct access to client feedback and data to measure your design impact

Plus… the nitty gritty

• An annual salary of between £60,000 – £70,000
• 33 flexible holiday days per year. Since our remote-first team is based all over the world, you can choose whether or not to take time off on your country’s public holidays.
• A Macbook Pro

We’re a small team and we’re passionate about being a great company to work with and work for.
