Job description

Street Group is one of the fastest-growing PropTech companies in the UK. We want to be the leading creator of delightful experiences for everybody involved in buying, selling, renting and letting property, regardless of their involvement, to improve the industry for everybody by elevating UK Estate Agencies through world-class technology.

We’re now looking for a Product Designer to join one of our product teams. You’ll be embedded within a cross-functional squad, working closely with PMs and Engineers to design experiences that make a real difference for estate agents across the UK. Your designs will directly shape how agents run their businesses day-to-day.

We want someone who is tired of the "feature factory" grind and wants to work somewhere where design isn't just a department - it's a competitive advantage.

If you look at most UX job ads, you see a laundry list of requirements. We prefer to tell you how we actually operate so you can decide if this is the right environment for you.

• In many companies, a PM writes a brief, hands it to a designer, who hands it to an engineer. That is not us. At Street Group, you’ll be a strategic partner helping define what we build, not just what it looks like.
• Our users rely on us to run their businesses, so they love talking to us. You can spin up a call and validate a prototype instantly. We don't guess; we ask.
• We don’t believe in rigid, box-ticking processes. Sometimes you need a deep discovery phase; sometimes you just need to trust your intuition and ship. We trust you to know the difference.

Here’s what you can expect to be working on as an L4 Product Designer at Street Group

• Partner with your PM and Engineers to shape the roadmap and decide what we build next (proactive, not reactive).
• Jump on calls with users or visit them in-branch to understand pain points and test new workflows.
• Move from low-fi sketches to high-fidelity, polished prototypes in Figma.
• Facilitate workshops to synthesise research or ideate solutions.

Why you should (and shouldn't) apply

You should apply if:

• You want to work on complex, high-converting marketing journeys within our products, understanding why a feature matters to an agent's bottom line.
• You think from first principles and don't just apply "standard" patterns blindly. You ask questions that narrow down the solution space and aren't afraid to challenge the status quo.
• You want to ship work that is polished, intuitive, and sets a new standard for the industry.

You probably shouldn't apply if:

• You prefer a strict, repetitive rhythm or a linear process without ambiguity, as you will find our pace stressful.
• You prefer to design in a silo. We challenge each other constantly to get the best result, so if you don't like engineers or PMs questioning your process, this isn't the place.
• You need to be told exactly what to do. We provide support, but we need people who see a problem and proactively chase the solution.

A Bit About You

• Experience: You have around 3 years of Product/UX Design experience (SaaS or complex product experience is a bonus).
• Tooling: You are fluent in Figma and know how to use and maintain design systems.
• Research: You are comfortable conducting your own user research and usability testing.
• Communication: You can articulate why you made a design decision to an engineer or a stakeholder.

Research has shown that women tend to rule themselves out of applying for jobs unless they meet 100% of the requirements. If you fall into that category and are about to rule yourself out based on the above criteria, please consider applying anyway. We'd love to see your application.

• 🏠 Hybrid-working - you can work from home up to 4 days per week
• 🏖️ Guilt-Free R&R - £1000 towards a holiday after your first year with the team (we'll even cover the tax!)
• 💪 Joining a culture that supports your development and encourages growth
• 📚 £500 yearly L&D budget for your career development
• 🎂 Your birthday on us - we pay, you stay away
• 🙋 ‘Give something back’ - 2 paid days volunteering on us
• 👶 Enhanced maternity, paternity & adoption pay
• 🚂 Public transport season ticket loans
• 🌷 Paid menopause leave
• 🚀 Joining a new team in an exciting business with huge ambition
• 👥 Be a part of something bigger - everyone in our team is passionate about improving the entire property industry! It's a huge goal, but it motivates us to do better every single day
• 👩🏿💻 A chance to work on cutting-edge technology
• 🐶 Comfortable, relaxed office space - office dogs welcome!
• 🍻 Fully stocked fridge and beers (or an alternative) on us every Friday afternoon
• 🎊 Company and team off-sites, events and happy hours

£45k-£55k, dependent on experience. However, sometimes the perfect person is far more or less experienced than we anticipated. In these situations, planned ranges go out the window. If you think that might be the case, please apply and just let us know.

We care deeply about helping the tech industry become a more inclusive and diverse place and we work hard to lead by example. We are committed to Equal Employment Opportunity through attracting and retaining a complementary team of employees and building an inclusive environment for all. Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK and be able to perform the work specified.

Interview Process

4 stages = An introductory call with one of our Talent team > Design Task > Technical Interview with our Head of UX > Final interview with our Head of Product.

We want to make our interviews as inclusive as possible, so if you need any adjustments made or if there's anything you think we should be aware of during the interview process, please do let us know.

A note on using AI in your job application

As a fast-moving and rapidly evolving tech company, we embrace the advantages of AI and encourage its use throughout our application process. However, our goal is to get to know and hire the authentic you - your skills, experience, and values. We don’t want to hire an AI-generated version of you. We consider AI to be a valuable tool, not something that should shadow you as an individual.
