About Dwelly
Dwelly — a UK-based, AI-enabled lettings and property management platform, that is growing through a roll-up strategy acquiring estate agencies. The company leverages two arms: i) acquiring existing letting agencies, effectively buying its highly sticky, recurring revenue-type landlords portfolios, and then ii) building a top-notch technology to automate tenant management, payments, and post-rental property maintenance. The company seamlessly integrates AI services to automate all business processes within brick-and-mortar real estate agencies, integrating them into a tech-enabled digital letting platform in two months to radically improve the user experiences and increase efficiency of the business.
We’re a fast-growing, product-focused company, backed by top-tier investors and led by a team with deep experience in real estate, technology, and operations.
Position Summary
We are seeking a highly talented and hands-on Product Designer to help shape the experience across the full set of Dwelly products (Tenant Find, Property Management, Payments, CRM) and the internal back-office tools that power them. This role involves deeply understanding our user personas (Tenant, Landlord, Maintenance Contractor, Dwelly Agent) and designing for both the customer-facing portals and the operational tools our agents use every day.
Given the early stage of the business, our current products are hyper-functional but quite basic — an "MVP" that prioritises getting the job done across all domains. You'll work closely with product and engineering to take these to the next level: bringing clarity, usability, and craft to data-dense, workflow-heavy internal tools, and building genuinely good experiences for tenants and landlords. You'll also help establish the basic building blocks of design at Dwelly — a shared design system, patterns, and a lightweight design process — from the ground up.
Our current development team is a team of 5, a few analysts, and one product designer. You'll join a small, fast-moving product team and have an outsized impact on how the whole product looks, feels, and works.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

- Turn qualitative and quantitative insights into design decisions.
- Act as an advocate for usability and the end user within the company.
-
End-to-End Product Design
- Design flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UIs for both customer-facing products (tenant and landlord portals) and internal back-office tools.
- Design for data-dense, workflow-heavy operational products where clarity and efficiency matter more than decoration.
- Own the design process from concept and prototyping through to polished, build-ready specs, and iterate after launch.
-
Design Across the Product Suite
- Bring consistency and quality across Tenant Find, Property Management, Payments, and the communications/portal layer.
- Partner closely with engineers and product managers to translate requirements into shippable design, balancing craft with speed and technical feasibility.

- Introduce lightweight design workflows, documentation, and review/handoff practices suited to an early-stage team.
Qualifications & Preferred Background:
Experience: 5+ years in product design, with a strong portfolio spanning both complex/operational tools and consumer-facing products. Comfortable in early-stage, low-structure environments as well as more structured, product-led settings.

What is it like being a Dwell-er?
Feel free to check out Dwelly Core Principles. That’s about what we believe in, how we operate and make decisions.
What we offer is not a fancy office or a static workplace.

This is about disrupting the largest, most antiquated industry in the world, with one of the strongest operational and technical teams that exist in the UK and the EU. We work hard, and we shoot for extremely ambitious results. But we want people to be proud of what they’ve built and be able to look back and say one day “hell yeah, that was me that did it all”.
Our Values:
- Customer obsession rather than competitive focus
- Passion for invention
- Operational excellence
- Long-term thinking
