About The Role
As a Senior Product Designer at Zilch, you will be accountable for every feature you design - from the very first sketch through to implementation, you'll guide all stages of the design process and ensure they are of the highest quality. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams, including Product Managers, Engineers, and other Designers, to deliver exceptional user experiences that align with our vision and goals. You’ll not only do world class design work, but also help the rest of the team do great design work too.
Day-to-day Responsibilities
- Take responsibility for the full design process from collaborative research, conception, testing, full journey specs and developer collaboration, through to UX measurement of the launched product.
- Coach and mentor your fellow designers, leading critique sessions to help develop a consistently strong holistic experience.
- Nurture consistency across different pieces of design work and strengthen the bar we set for the quality of our collective output.
- Design customer journeys, create prototypes, user test and measure the success of potential product launches.
- Help define and deliver products that are enjoyable to use with a high level of craft and attention to detail.
- Work collaboratively to manage and improve our scalable design system that meets product and business goals.
- Carry out user research through a range of qualitative and quantitative methods to understand the user experience.
- Identify key success metrics of the products you’re on and measure their success from a customer and business perspective.
- You’ll work closely with our Head of Product Design and Product Managers to align on goals, priorities, direction, and feedback.
- Document pattern libraries and style guides, updating as we evolve.
- Review the performance of the release, identify learnings, and suggest ways to shape the future product.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
