About the Role
We’re looking for a Lead Product Designer to join our Product team, shaping experiences that help couples feel more connected, both in the app and in real life. You’ll design features that deepen intimacy, spark meaningful conversations and make Paired indispensable for couples.
You’ll lead design of the core app experience, turning concepts into high-quality, engaging features that drive retention and leave a lasting impression on users. We’re looking for someone who has rigorous execution and exceptional craft. Working closely with Product, Engineering, Research and Content, you’ll raise the bar for design quality, consistency and delight across the product, and help shape Paired’s design culture.
You’ll have strong product thinking, thrive in ambiguity, and bring a human-centred approach to help uncover unmet needs of our users.
What You’ll Do
- Own end-to-end product design of the app alongside the Head of Design. From insight-led discovery and ideation, through to execution and post-launch iteration.
- Translate business goals and requirements into user-centred, emotionally resonant solutions that drive measurable impact across, engagement, retention and revenue.
- Bring delight to everything you do — whether that’s a micro animation, tasteful haptics usage, or by providing the user with something unexpected. You understand that these small details are the difference between good products and great ones.
- Identify new product features by deeply understanding our user’s needs and lead ideation with bold concepts and prototypes
- Collaborate on running lean research with our UX Researcher, quickly testing to validate ideas, de-risk assumptions and inform decision-making
- Use AI and generative tools to rapidly prototype and visualise future states.
- Articulate the value and potential of new product ideas through compelling narratives, and work hand-in-hand with developers to ship refined, high-quality UI.
- Raise the design bar by modelling high standards of craft and mentoring peers, while evolving Paired’s design system to ensure consistency at scale.
- Competitive salary of £90k–£95k, depending on experience
- Significant stock options
- Annual learning budget of £1,000
- 25 days of annual leave plus public holidays
- Hybrid, 2 days per week in our Shoreditch office
- Three in-person events per year across Europe: two focused coworking weeks and one team-building retreat
- Comprehensive health insurance to support your physical and mental wellness
- 3 months paid maternity leave and 1 month paid paternity leave (including same-sex and adoptive parents)
- Paired Premium for you and your partner to stay in love
- A rare opportunity to build a product that genuinely helps millions of people strengthen their relationships every day
