Senior Product Designer, Design Platform
Newcastle upon Tyne | Hybrid, One Trinity Gardens
You’ll be joining at a point when important parts of our Design Platform are still being defined.
You’ll work with Product Managers, Engineers, QA and our AI Platform team from early discovery through to shipped and validated features. The problems are complex: specification, product information and workflows that help construction professionals discover, specify and source the products they need.
Some of those workflows do not have established answers yet. You’ll use research, usability testing, customer conversations and evidence to understand the real problem, explore different approaches and make clear design decisions.
What you’ll actually be doing:
- Lead complex product-design work from early discovery and problem framing through to released, validated features.
- Get close to users through research, usability testing and customer conversations.
- Create and test wireframes, prototypes and high-fidelity designs before they move into development.
- Work with Product and Engineering on trade-offs between customer value, technical viability and commercial priorities.
- Take ownership of key parts of our shared design system as the platform grows.
- Use analytics, support insight and customer feedback to spot usability problems and design debt.
- Mentor other designers and contribute to design strategy, roadmap thinking and stronger ways of working.
- Explore how AI-assisted design tools and practices can improve the way we understand problems, test ideas and deliver products.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we’re looking for
- Experience designing complex SaaS or similarly information-rich digital products.
- Strong product design, UX and interaction design capability.
- A portfolio that shows how you think through difficult problems, not only the finished interface.
- Experience taking work from discovery and research through to delivery.
- Confidence working closely with Product and Engineering, making trade-offs and explaining your thinking.
- Experience contributing to design systems and scalable product experiences.
What you’ll get
You’ll have meaningful ownership of design work on a platform that is still evolving, with room to influence the product experience, our shared design system and how the team approaches design.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll also build deep knowledge of a specialist industry. Construction specification is complex, but that complexity is part of the opportunity: good design can make important professional tasks clearer, easier and more reliable.
We expect ownership, sound judgement and high standards. In return, you’ll be trusted to explore problems properly, challenge assumptions and contribute to decisions rather than simply execute them.
About Hubexo
Hubexo provides data, insights and software that help the construction industry make better decisions, improve efficiency and build more sustainably.
This role is based at our Newcastle hub at One Trinity Gardens. We spend at least three days each week together in the hub so Product, Design and Engineering can work through problems together, share ideas and stay close to the work.
Ready to build your future
If you want senior product-design work where discovery, judgement and influence matter as much as craft, we’d like to hear from you.
