Junior Product Designer

About the Role

Pulse Group has partnered with a leading UK media company expanding their Product Design team. This position offers more than typical junior roles focused on minor UI tweaks. Instead, you will be part of a collaborative environment designing widely used products across web, mobile, subscriptions, games, registration, and user engagement platforms.

The role involves hands-on ownership from the start, working alongside skilled Product Managers and Engineers to develop products from initial ideas through to launch. Passion for games, puzzles, or creating addictive user experiences is a welcomed quality, as there is close cooperation with the company's gaming division, providing opportunities to contribute to popular digital game experiences.

Key Responsibilities and Expectations

• Create meaningful designs that improve product usability and user engagement across multiple platforms.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to shape product roadmaps and iterate on design solutions.
• Demonstrate strong problem-solving skills and apply design thinking principles to real user challenges.
• Use Figma confidently to produce wireframes, user interfaces, and interactive prototypes.
• Communicate effectively and work collaboratively within a dynamic team.

Qualifications and Skills Required

• A compelling portfolio showcasing smart product design and problem-solving capabilities.
• Proficiency with Figma for wireframing, UI creation, and prototyping activities.
• Deep understanding of user experience fundamentals and user-centered design methodologies.
• A curious mindset with enthusiasm for continuous learning and tackling authentic user problems.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills combined with a teamwork-oriented attitude.
• An interest in digital products, publishing, or consumer digital experiences is advantageous but not mandatory.

What You Will Gain

• Design impact: Influence products accessed by millions daily.
• Mentorship: Learn from experienced designers who are invested in nurturing junior talent.
• Ownership: Receive substantial individual responsibility from your first day.
• Variety: Work across diverse domains such as web, mobile apps, subscription services, gaming, and engagement tools.
• Recognition: Be part of one of the UK's most prominent digital product teams.
