About the Role

We’re 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. We’re looking for someone who can operate at a strategic level, has experience with rapid testing and iteration and can deliver 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 our users first interaction with Paired, through to them subscribing, you’ll shape high-impact journeys and craft designs that are not only delightful and intuitive but also commercially effective and scalable. 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

• Design experiments and features that solve user problems and move business metrics.
• Lead new growth ideas, and push established flows like free trials, paywalls past their current ceiling.
• Develop a deep understanding of how our users think, feel and behave.
• Collaborate on running research to quickly validate ideas and de-risk assumptions.
• Craft journeys that feel human and deeply aligned with our mission.
• Collaborate across teams, facilitate design alignment, and elevate company-wide design thinking.
• Collaborate with other designers to shape the product as a whole.
• Use Claude Code, Loveable and other AI tools to prototype, visualise future states and find new ways to solve problems.
