Lead Product Designer

A fast-growing renewable energy software business is looking for a Lead Product Designer to help make complex technical processes easier for the people using them every day.

Product design is a big part of what sets our client apart. With new products in development, they're expanding their design team and looking for someone with exceptional UI skills who enjoys being involved from the initial idea through to delivery

You'll work directly with the Co-Founder and CPO, alongside a small team of experienced designers and engineers, with plenty of opportunity to influence what gets built.

What You'll Do

• Own the design process from customer research and early concepts through to prototyping, testing and delivery.
• Turn complex workflows involving building physics, electrical calculations and compliance into simple, easy-to-use experiences.
• Use tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or similar to build interactive prototypes and test ideas with customers.
• Speak directly with installers to understand how they work, what challenges they face and where the product could be better.
• Work closely with engineers to understand technical requirements and make sure designs can be delivered effectively.
• Design across desktop, mobile and customer-facing applications.
• Help develop the existing design system and maintain a high standard of UI design across the product.
• Work alongside the existing designers, sharing ideas, challenging decisions and helping shape the direction of the product.

What You'll Bring

• A strong portfolio showing exceptional UI design, attention to detail and well-thought-out user experiences.
• Experience designing products from initial discovery through to delivery, with clear examples of what you've personally owned.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or similar to build and test interactive prototypes.
• Experience working on complex B2B software or technical products.
• The ability to understand complicated processes and make them easier for customers to use.
• Confidence working closely with engineers and discussing technical challenges.
• Experience speaking with customers and using their feedback to improve products.
• A proactive approach, genuine curiosity and the confidence to question ideas rather than simply follow a brief.

What's On Offer

• £70,000–£120,000 salary, depending on experience, plus meaningful equity options.
• Hybrid working in London or Bristol, with 2–3 days per week in the office.
• The opportunity to work directly with the Co-Founder and CPO.
• A small, collaborative team where you'll have real ownership over your work and the freedom to try new ideas.
