About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to join a cross-functional team and take ownership of meaningful parts of the Zoopla consumer experience.
This is a hands-on role with real scope to shape both what we build and how we build it. You'll work across the full product lifecycle, from defining problems through to delivery and optimisation, designing experiences that are intuitive, useful and deliver real business impact. You won't just respond to briefs; you'll help define opportunity areas, connect work to broader product and business goals, and ensure what we build delivers measurable results.
This role suits someone who thinks beyond individual features, understands how journeys connect, how products perform over time, and how design can influence growth, conversion and customer value.
