Senior Product Designer — Content, CMS & Subscriptions

Zebra People | B Corp™; Greater London; On-site; Full time

Job description

Lead Product Designer needed to help shape premium, content-rich and subscription-driven experiences across a portfolio of global media brands. This role sits at the intersection of editorial storytelling, CMS-driven design systems, and subscription product design, balancing strong brand expression with scalable platform consistency.

This is a senior individual contributor role focused on hands‑on execution, craft, and system refinement, not management. You’ll be expected to move quickly, improve quality across multiple brands, and elevate both content experience and subscription performance.

4 days a week needed in London office.

Circa £90,000 (possibly a little more for the right person, if needed)

Sponsorship is not being offered.

THE ROLE

• Elevate the visual and interaction quality of content-heavy and subscription experiences, with a focus on hierarchy, typography, and layout.
• Design within and extend design systems and component libraries used across CMS-driven platforms.
• Improve end‑to‑end subscription journeys (acquisition, paywalls, onboarding, retention, account).
• Translate editorial, commercial, and brand needs into clear, scalable design solutions.
• Partner closely with editorial, product, engineering, and marketing teams to align storytelling with subscription performance.
• Identify and deliver high‑impact design improvements across multiple brands.

THE CANDIDATE

• Strong experience in CMS-driven, content-rich digital environments, ideally media or publishing.
• Strong editorial design craft - typography, hierarchy, composition, and content‑led UX.
• Experience working with design systems / component libraries at scale.
• Ability to balance brand expression with system constraints in multi‑brand environments.
• Experience improving conversion and retention journeys through design.
• Confident working hands‑on in Figma and collaborating closely with engineers.
