Staff Product Designer

About Searchable

Searchable is an analytics and agentic platform for AI Search. As ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews reshape how people discover information, brands need new ways to measure and optimise their visibility across both traditional and generative search.

We help companies grow their organic presence across SEO, AEO, and GEO through a fully agentic platform that identifies opportunities, recommends actions, and automates fixes.

We’re backed by top angels and VCs, and building the team that will define the category.

We’re office-based five days a week near London Bridge. For a small team building fast, in-person iteration is a real advantage — and if that’s how you like to work, you’ll feel it.

The Role

We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer to shape how customers understand and act on a new class of AI-search data. You’ll be our senior design voice, working with founders, product, engineering and customers to turn complex systems into products that feel clear, useful and inevitable.

This role starts with UX. You’ll get close to customers, model their workflows, find the real problem beneath the request and make strong calls about what we should build. You’ll also carry that thinking all the way to a polished interface. We care equally about whether a product makes sense and whether every interaction earns its place.

This is a hands-on staff role, not a layer of design management. You’ll lead through the quality of your thinking and execution, raise the standard across the product and help define the design practice as the team grows.

What you’ll do

Own product design end to end, from an ambiguous problem and customer insight to a shipped experience

Build a deep understanding of SEO, AEO and GEO workflows, then turn that complexity into simple mental models and clear product decisions

Work directly with customers and go-to-market teams to identify unmet needs, test assumptions and separate signal from feature requests

Partner closely with product and engineering from the first sketch through implementation, shaping scope, resolving trade-offs and staying accountable after launch

Design information-rich workflows, dashboards and agentic interactions that help customers move confidently from insight to action

Produce high-quality interaction and visual design, with strong hierarchy, states, responsive behaviour and attention to the details that make a product feel trustworthy

Prototype quickly at the right level of fidelity, using the work to answer questions rather than decorate decisions

Evolve a pragmatic design system that speeds up delivery without flattening the product into generic components

Use data, customer evidence and product judgement to improve shipped work — not treat launch as the finish line

Raise the design bar across the company through clear critique, strong rationale and close collaboration

How we think about design

This is product design, not a hand-off function. The best answer may be a new workflow, a smaller feature, clearer language or deciding not to build something at all. You’ll be expected to understand the system, challenge the brief and make the product simpler.

We value strong opinions, loosely held. You should be able to explain why an experience works, argue your corner and change your mind when customer evidence or real usage points elsewhere.

Craft matters here. The interface is where our customers decide whether to trust the product and act on what it tells them.

About You

You have significant experience designing complex B2B software and a portfolio that shows both the thinking behind the work and the quality of the shipped result

Your strongest skill is UX: you can frame ambiguous problems, understand real user behaviour, map complex systems and turn evidence into a coherent product direction

You are also a strong UI designer with excellent command of hierarchy, typography, interaction states, data visualisation and the details that make dense products feel calm and intuitive

You have led major product areas or zero-to-one initiatives as a senior individual contributor

You influence company-level decisions without relying on formal authority

You are comfortable talking directly with customers and adapting your research method to the speed and certainty a decision requires

You think in systems but resist unnecessary complexity

You collaborate deeply with engineers and understand technical constraints well enough to find better answers together

You are comfortable with ambiguity and turn vague problems into shipped products

You care about outcomes more than ownership boundaries

You want to define a category, not just refine an established pattern

Nice to have

Experience designing analytics, data-heavy, AI-native, agentic, marketing or developer products

Familiarity with SEO, search marketing, martech or agency workflows

Experience building or evolving a design system in a fast-moving product team

Experience using AI to accelerate research synthesis, prototyping, content design or production workflows

Early-stage startup experience where you helped establish the design practice as well as ship the product

What success looks like

In your first 30 days, you understand the product, customers and core workflows, and are contributing to live product decisions

In your first 90 days, you own a meaningful product area from problem framing through delivery

In your first year, customers find Searchable materially easier to understand and act on, the quality bar is visible across the product, and design is shaping strategy earlier and with better evidence

Compensation & Benefits

Salary: £110,000–£150,000, depending on experience

Meaningful early-stage equity

25 days holiday plus bank holidays

Leading parental and childcare policies

Daily Uber Eats or Deliveroo meal allowance

Late-night Uber home when work runs late

Monthly fitness and wellbeing reimbursement

Flexibility to manage your own schedule — we care about the quality of the work
