These guiding values shape our approach to work, fostering a culture where everyone is inspired to contribute their best.

The Role

As a Senior Product Designer at Nitro, you’ll play a key role in shaping complex product experiences that balance user needs, business outcomes, and technical feasibility. You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and cross-functional stakeholders to drive clarity, alignment, and quality across the product lifecycle.

You’re a role model for Nitro’s ways of working - bringing deep design and research expertise, sound judgment, and an inclusive, collaborative mindset. You’ll help elevate both the work and the people around you.

What You’ll Be Doing

Practice

• Lead end-to-end product design across complex journeys and systems, delivering high-quality, accessible, and performant experiences.

• Independently plan, conduct, and synthesise user research using appropriate generative and evaluative methods.

• Translate research insights into clear, scalable artefacts that inform design decisions and enable shared learning.

• Use mapping, prototyping, and facilitation to explore ambiguity, connect user needs to business goals, and guide teams through discovery.

• Visualise end-to-end journeys and service experiences, considering offline touchpoints, accessibility, and system constraints.

• Apply strong judgment in balancing user value, business priorities, and technical feasibility.

• Contribute as a subject matter expert, providing thoughtful critique and guidance across disciplines.

Culture

• Model Nitro’s standards, policies, and cultural norms through inclusive, ethical, and collaborative ways of working.

• Foster strong cross-functional relationships and actively bridge gaps between Product, Engineering, and other teams.

• Proactively mentor and support less experienced designers and researchers, helping them grow their skills and confidence.

• Strengthen the operational health of the team by improving rituals, workflows, tools, and templates.

• Connect day-to-day work to broader company goals, helping others understand the “why” behind priorities.

• Encourage experimentation, welcome failure as a learning opportunity, and promote continuous feedback and improvement.

• Adapt to change with resilience and help teams navigate ambiguity with clarity and optimism.

What We’re Looking For

• Extensive experience (typically 5+ years or equivalent) in product design, user experience, or related disciplines.

• Deep fluency in human-centred design and user research methods, with the ability to choose and adapt approaches based on context.

• Proven ability to independently own complex problem spaces and deliver impactful, well-reasoned solutions.

• Strong facilitation, communication, and storytelling skills, with experience aligning diverse stakeholders.

• Confidence working cross-functionally and influencing outcomes without direct authority.

• A creative, systems-oriented problem-solver who considers risks, trade-offs, and multiple perspectives.

• Experience mentoring others and contributing to team health and design maturity.

• Comfort operating in changing environments and a willingness to continuously learn and evolve.
