Product Designer

About us:

YuLife is an award-winning InsurTech company and an employee benefit provider.

We’re the world’s first “lifestyle insurance” company. While other insurers are there for people at the point of death or illness, we engage with people every day to help them live better lives.

To do that, we’ve built an award-winning app that rewards people for building healthy habits. It includes the best wellbeing and digital health tools in the world.

Customers can earn vouchers from great brands like Amazon, Tesco or ASOS for doing simple things like walking or practicing mindfulness. They can even do good by planting trees or cleaning the oceans from the app.

Our clients include Tesco, Capital One and Fujitsu, and we’ve been ranked the #1 employee benefit in the UK on Trustpilot. More recently, YuLife was recognized by CX Insurance Awards as ‘Best Insurtech 2024’ and the 8th Fastest Growing Technology Company in the UK in the prestigious 2023 Deloitte Technology Fast 50.

The role:

We’re looking for a Product Designer to join our growing design team and help us build digital experiences that genuinely enhance people’s lives. We’re trying to shake up an entire industry and that requires amazing and free-thinking individuals.

We want to work with enthusiastic, empathetic and driven people who are ready to go on this rewarding journey with us. Somebody practical and proactive, who actively seeks feedback and wants to grow and give back.

As a Product Designer, you will be accountable for every feature you design - taking them from conception to implementation and beyond; being the voice of our users, and telling their stories along the way.

Our ideal candidate is someone who is passionate about the structure and flow of digital solutions, in particular; having a keen eye for detail with web based solutions and understanding different user roles/needs.

You’ll be working within a squad of Product Managers/Owners, Data Analysts, Developers, and QA specialists to develop a suite of tools that will transform how our clients (HR managers) manage employee health and well-being. You'll help create products that positively impact thousands of individuals, guided by our founding principle of seeking the win-win.

Key responsibilities:

• Problem-solving – You enjoy tackling complex product challenges and focus on solving the right problems, balancing customer needs with business goals.
• User advocacy – You ensure the user remains at the heart of the design process, leveraging insights and research to inform decisions whenever possible.
• Collaboration – You thrive in a squad environment, working closely with Product Managers/Owners, fellow designers, developers, and QA specialists to bring ideas to life while also shaping the wider design team’s ways of working.
• Big-picture thinking – You create robust, scalable solutions that stand the test of time, contributing to a design culture built around our design system.
• Championing design excellence – You push for cutting-edge design frameworks and methodologies, driving innovation and shaping how we work as a design team.
  
  

You'll need to have:

• A minimum of 3 years experience in product design.
• A demonstrable portfolio of relevant work.
• The ability to draw on a range of UX research methodologies to help inform your decisions and solutions, as well as confidently communicate the what and why
• Experience working with quantified analytics and alongside data scientists to help define problems and inform solutions.
• Experience with Figma (which we use), or other design software.
• Clear communication, and be able to document concepts; from flows to prototypes.
• Experience contributing/designing components that form design systems built for scale.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work harmoniously with colleagues located around the world.
  
  

We’d love it if you also:

• Have experience in creating, communicating, and managing living personas and experience maps that truly represent how and how people interact with products.
• Have experience in planning, conducting, and analysing remote and face to face usability studies. As well as experience building and maintaining living personas and experience maps based on insight/data.
