About The Role

We are looking for a Lead Product Designer to join our Growth squad, a cross-functional team driving user acquisition, activation, and monetisation.

This is a hands-on, high-impact expert IC role ideal for a designer ready to operate at a strategic level, balancing visionary thinking, rigorous execution, and exceptional craft. Reporting to our Head of Design, you'll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Research to define and design growth initiatives that make Paired indispensable for couples.

From the first interaction through to subscription conversion, you will shape high-impact journeys, crafting design solutions that are not only delightful and intuitive but also commercially effective and scalable.

What You'll Do

Bridge business goals and user needs: Translate business-driven requirements into solutions that are user-centred, emotionally resonant, and high-performing.

Own end-to-end design for mobile and web: from insight-driven discovery and prototyping to high-fidelity execution and post-launch iteration

Drive both 0–1 and evolution of proven initiatives: You'll identify and lead brand-new growth opportunities (e.g., organic acquisition) while also pushing established flows (like free trials or paywalls) beyond their current ceiling. Your work won't be about laying basic foundations but about amplifying what's working and inventing what's next

Design emotionally resonant experiences that elevate how couples perceive Paired's value by crafting journeys that feel human, delightful, and deeply aligned with our mission while driving measurable impact and accelerating acquisition and revenue

Prototype with a high level of fidelity, creating experiences that feel realistic and enable fast, informed testing.

Raise the design bar: Provide thoughtful critique, model high standards of execution and rationale, and mentor peers informally through feedback and craft leadership

Champion and build design systems at scale: Lead the evolution of our design system by architecting complex component structures, leveraging Figma's most advanced features (variables, tokens, auto-layout automation), and ensuring scalable, systematic consistency across every touchpoint

Marry data with intuition: Blend qualitative research, quantitative insights, and strong product instincts to inform design decisions and drive measurable impact

Influence beyond your squad: Collaborate across teams, facilitate design alignment, and elevate product-wide design thinking
