Product Design Lead
London - Remote-first, no set office days
Permanent, full-time
At ZAVA, we're on a mission to make healthcare accessible, dependable, and affordable for everyone. Now part of Hims & Hers Health, Inc., we've delivered over 14 million consultations across the UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Ireland, and we're just getting started.
If you're a designer who wants your work to genuinely improve how people access care, this is your next role!
The role
We're looking for a Product Design Lead who wants to stay close to the work. This is a player-coach role: part of your time will be spent designing, leading discovery, prototyping, and pushing craft on our most important product areas - and part of it coaching a small squad of designers. It's a genuine mix of doing and leading.
You'll be a hands-on contributor to the user experience across customer touchpoints and internal tools at ZAVA, spanning multiple countries and partners. With a deep understanding of our doctors' and patients' needs and contexts, you'll get into the detail yourself; designing flows, prototyping, and testing, while helping your squad do the same. Your craft and hands-on approach will help promote a user-centric mindset throughout the organisation.
What you'll be doing
- Design end-to-end on the product areas you own — from discovery and prototyping through to shipped, polished experiences. This is genuine, hands-on craft work, not just direction-setting.
- Coach a small squad of designers, giving hands-on feedback, unblocking their work, and helping them grow — day-to-day support rather than a heavy people-management process.
- Champion a patient-centred approach, making sure research and user insight inform decision-making and that we're solving the right problems in the right way.
- Collaborate closely with Product, Technology, Clinical, Commercial, and Operations teams, building alignment and ensuring design solutions work for both patients and internal teams.
- Balance craft and team health, keeping both your own work and your squad's output high quality, and speaking up early if the split between designing and coaching needs to shift.
- Create concepts yourself: prototypes and final designs at the appropriate level of fidelity, setting the quality bar the rest of the squad can follow.

- Experience coaching, mentoring, and developing designers and researchers.
- Strong communication and stakeholder skills - you can represent design and influence decisions without needing to escalate.
- Comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, balancing your own hands-on design work with supporting your squad.

Nice to have, but not at all essential
