Lead Product Designer (L6)
📍 Manchester (Hybrid, up to 4 days WFH)
💰 £70k-£90k
Street Group is one of the fastest-growing PropTech companies in the UK. We want to be the leading creator of delightful
experiences for everybody involved in buying, selling, renting and letting property, regardless of their involvement, to improve
the industry for everybody by elevating UK Estate Agencies through world-class technology.
We're now looking for a Lead Product Designer - the most senior individual contributor for design within a product domain. This is
predominantly an IC role: you'll set the design bar for an entire domain through the quality of your own work, the patterns you
contribute, and the way you raise the designers around you. We're flexible on this for the right person, if you've got management
experience, or want to line-manage one or two designers alongside the IC work, let's talk.
We want someone who is tired of the "feature factory" grind, who is past needing to be told what's worth working on, and who is
ready to set the design direction for a domain in one of the most exciting PropTech companies in the UK.
If you look at most UX job ads, you see a laundry list of requirements. We prefer to tell you how we actually operate so you can
decide if this is the right environment for you.

A note on using AI in your job application
As a fast-moving and rapidly evolving tech company, we embrace the advantages of AI and encourage its use throughout our
application process. However, our goal is to get to know and hire the authentic you - your skills, experience, and values. We
don't want to hire an AI-generated version of you. We consider AI to be a valuable tool, not something that should overshadow you

SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER (L5) 📍 MANCHESTER (HYBRID, UP TO 4 DAYS WFH) 💰 £50K-£65K DOE Street Group is one of the fastest-growing PropTech companies in the UK. We want to be the leading creator of delightful experiences for everybody involved in buying, selling, renting and letting property, regardless of their involvement, to improve the industry for everybody by elevating UK Estate Agencies through world-class technology. We're now looking for a Senior Product Designer to join one of our product teams. You'll be embedded in a cross-functional squad working closely with PMs and Engineers, but you won't wait to be handed a brief - you'll help identify what's worth working on in the first place. Your designs will directly shape how UK estate agents run their businesses. We want someone who is tired of the "feature factory" grind and wants to work somewhere where design isn't just a department - it's a competitive advantage. If you look at most UX job ads, you see a laundry list of requirements. We prefer to tell you how we actually operate so you can decide if this is the right environment for you. * In many companies, a PM writes a brief, hands it to a designer, who hands it to an engineer. That is not us. At Street Group, you're a strategic partner helping define what we build, not just what it looks like. * Our users rely on us to run their businesses, so they love talking to us. You can spin up a call and validate a prototype instantly. We don't guess; we ask. * We don't believe in rigid, box-ticking processes. Sometimes you need a deep discovery phase; sometimes you just need to trust your intuition and ship. We trust you to know the difference. HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO BE WORKING ON AS AN L5 SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER AT STREET GROUP * Partner with your PM and Engineers to shape the roadmap and decide what we build next. You'll identify problem areas worth solving and propose them - not wait for them to land in your queue. * Define what success looks like before you ship. Measure how it performs after release using analytics, support data and customer feedback. Adjust. * Jump on calls with users or visit them in-branch to understand pain points and test new workflows. * Move from low-fi sketches to high-fidelity prototypes - picking the right tool and fidelity for the job, whether that's Figma, paper, or a Claude Code prototype. * Leverage an AI-native, code-first workflow: use tools like Claude Code to "vibe code" small UI tweaks directly in the live product, get instant answers on technical constraints without waiting on engineers, and iterate your designs in the actual browser to drastically speed up feedback loops. * Bring AI thinking to what we build, not just how we build it - design AI experiences in the product where they genuinely help users, and call them out where they'd be gimmicks. WHY YOU SHOULD (AND SHOULDN'T) APPLY YOU SHOULD APPLY IF: * You want to own design end-to-end for significant work in your area - research through to shipping and measuring impact. * You think from first principles and don't apply "standard" patterns blindly. You ask questions that narrow down the solution space and aren't afraid to challenge the status quo when you've got the evidence to back it up. * You want to ship work that is polished, intuitive, and sets a new standard for the industry. * You're commercially fluent - you understand that the user-optimal design isn't always the commercially right one, and you can make that trade-off without losing sleep. YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T APPLY IF: * You prefer a strict, repetitive rhythm or a linear process without ambiguity, as you will find our pace stressful. * You prefer to design in a silo. We challenge each other constantly to get the best result, so if you don't like engineers or PMs questioning your process, this isn't the place. * You need to be told exactly what to do. We provide support, but we need people who see a problem and proactively chase the solution. * You ship and move on. We expect you to define success upfront and check how the work performed after release. A BIT ABOUT YOU * Experience: Roughly 5+ years of Product/UX Design experience (SaaS or complex product experience is a bonus). * Tooling: Fluent in Figma and confident with modern design systems. Comfortable using AI tools across your workflow, including for shipping small changes directly to production. * Research: You plan and run your own user research - picking the right method for the question, knowing how much research is enough to make a decision. * Measuring success: You define what success looks like before you ship, and you check what actually happened after. * Communication: You can articulate why you made a design decision to an engineer, a PM, or a commercial stakeholder - and adjust how you communicate depending on who's listening.
