Location: London (in-office)
Seniority: Senior
The Role
Searchable is building the platform that helps brands understand and improve how they appear across AI-powered search: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and beyond. It's a new category, and the product has to make that clear instantly.
This is a research-led, systems-driven design role. You'll own the full journey from user research and problem framing through to high-fidelity, production-ready prototypes that a design or front-end engineer can build from directly. There's no handoff ambiguity. The prototype is the spec.
You'll work in-office in London, embedded directly with the product and engineering team, and report to the founding team.
What You'll Own
1. User Research & Problem Definition
Run structured and unstructured research: interviews, usability tests, behavioural analysis, and session data
Translate findings into clear problem definitions and design briefs
Build a research practice that compounds: documented insights, reusable frameworks, and a living understanding of our users
Work closely with GTM and product to ensure research is connected to commercial reality, not just UX theory
2. Product Design (End-to-End)
Own the design of core product surfaces: dashboards, onboarding, reporting, workflow tools, and alerts
Design for clarity and speed: our users are time-poor marketers and SEO leads who need to act on data fast
Maintain and evolve the design system, ensuring visual and interaction consistency across the product
Contribute to product strategy: you should have opinions on what to build, not just how to present it
3. AI-Native Prototyping
Use Figma, Claude Code, and Lovable to take designs from concept to interactive, production-quality prototype
Prototypes should be detailed enough that a design engineer can build directly from them: no translation layer, no ambiguity
Use AI tooling to move faster: generate variants, test edge cases, iterate in hours not days
Stay current with what's possible; the expectation is that your workflow evolves as the tools do
4. Design-to-Engineering Handoff
Own the handoff process end-to-end: annotated components, documented interactions, responsive behaviour, and edge states
Work directly with front-end and design engineers to QA implementation against design intent
Flag and resolve discrepancies before they reach users
Day-to-Day
Plan and run user research sessions and synthesise findings into actionable outputs
Design and iterate on product features across web and dashboard surfaces
Build interactive prototypes in Figma and with Claude Code / Lovable
Maintain the design system and component library
Present work clearly and take direct feedback well
Partner with engineering on implementation quality
What We're Looking For
5 to 8 years of product and UX design experience, ideally in B2B SaaS or data-heavy products
Strong research capability: you can design and run studies, not just interpret someone else's findings
Equally strong visual and interaction design skills: research-led does not mean low-fidelity
Genuinely AI-native: you use Claude Code, Lovable, and similar tools in your actual workflow, not as a talking point
Figma fluency, including component architecture and design systems
Comfortable working directly with engineers and reading front-end code well enough to have a real conversation about implementation
Clear communicator: written, verbal, and visual
Based in London and comfortable working in-office
Strong Signals
Experience designing for dashboards, analytics, or data visualisation products
Exposure to SEO, content marketing, or AI search tools
Experience building or maintaining a design system from scratch
Portfolio that shows research artefacts alongside final UI: not just pretty screens
Evidence of working in early-stage environments where process didn't exist before you built it
Compensation
£150,000 + equity
