Senior Product Designer

The job at a glance  

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer with the vision, craft, and conviction to redefine how millions of people connect to work.

Whether you join us as a Mid, Senior, or Lead Designer, you’ll have the autonomy to make real impact. At Stepstone, design isn’t decoration — it’s a strategic force that shapes outcomes for users, customers, and the business.

You’ll work side-by-side with Product, Engineering, and Research partners to identify the highest-leverage opportunities and turn them into meaningful, measurable outcomes.

Here, you won’t just improve flows — you’ll rethink how people find jobs, how recruiters find talent, and how great design can make complexity feel simple.

Your responsibilities:  

• Design simple, intuitive, and human-centered experiences that solve real problems with clarity, creativity, and care.
• Prototype boldly. Great prototypes move mountains. They align leaders, steer strategy, and collapse years of discussion into conviction. At Stepstone, we don’t just build prototypes — we use them to decide what the future should look like.
• Shape impact in partnership with Product — helping define priorities, owning outcomes, and holding yourself accountable to team success metrics.
• Elevate the quality of what we ship — through craft, systems thinking, and clear product narratives.
• Contribute to strategic direction — connecting user insight to business goals, and turning ambiguity into focus.

Your skills and qualifications:

• You’ve shipped real products with measurable user and business impact — ideally across consumer, enterprise, or multi-sided ecosystems.
• You hold a high standard of craft — connecting insight to execution, and sweating the details that turn good into unforgettable.
• You’re a strong storyteller — able to align stakeholders, inspire teams, and make complex ideas simple through narrative.
• You wield prototyping as a core skill — using it to explore, align, and sell the future faster than anyone else.
• You’ve worked with design systems — contributing to consistency while pushing patterns and components forward.

Your benefits 

We’re a community here that cares as much about your life outside work as how you feel when you’re with us. Because your job shouldn’t take over your life, it should enrich it. Here are some of the benefits we offer: 

• 29 days holiday allowance + bank holidays   
• Private medical and dental healthcare   
• Pension contribution up to 10%   
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme 
• Life Assurance Cover  
• Cycle to work scheme   
• Hybrid working model   
• Volunteering days   
• and you can bring your dog to the office!
