Product Designer (Principal-Level)

• Lead design across Synthesia's most complex and high-impact product surfaces as a Principal Product Designer (L7). • Work as a senior IC without managing a team, operating at the highest level of individual craft and strategic influence, shaping direction across product domains and setting the standard for what great design looks like. • Sit at the intersection of product strategy, systems thinking, and exceptional craft. • Define design direction for large, ambiguous problem spaces, anticipate risks before they become blockers, and reframe problems in ways that unlock better outcomes for customers, product teams, and the business. • Help build a video platform for everyone rather than a specialist tool, working towards a future where Synthesia sits alongside word processors, presentation software, and spreadsheets as a daily staple. • Work remotely from Europe or hybrid from the London office.

• Show a track record of leading high-impact design work across large, ambiguous, or cross-functional problem spaces, delivering outcomes that meaningfully shift product quality, clarity, or direction. • Bring recognised excellence in craft in at least one design discipline, with a history of raising the standard for those around you. • Operate comfortably without perfect clarity, turning ambiguous problem spaces into crisp direction rather than waiting for a well-defined brief. • Think in systems, understanding how product architecture, AI capabilities, and organisational constraints shape what is possible in the UX rather than only what looks good on screen. • Bring strong strategic instincts, framing the right problems, challenging assumptions, and contributing meaningfully to roadmap and prioritisation decisions. • Align diverse stakeholders and cross-functional teams around design decisions, communicating with confidence and empathy at every level. • Have mentored senior designers and contributed to team culture, hiring, or practice-building. • Hold a genuine point of view on where product design is heading, with the credibility and communication skills to bring others along.

• Have designed AI-native or generative product experiences. • Have built and tested interaction models through rapid prototyping. • Have grown a design team’s reputation beyond the company. • Have worked on creative or content-authoring tools.

• Lead large, complex, or ambiguous design initiatives across teams and surfaces, owning direction, success criteria, and long-term UX vision rather than execution alone. • Reframe problems, anticipate downstream risks, and bring clarity to spaces where product direction is still forming. • Act as a strategic partner to Product and Engineering leads, helping define the right problems to solve, shaping long-term product bets, and bringing fresh insight to prioritisation decisions. • Prototype and test interaction models quickly, knowing when to go high-fidelity and when a rough concept moves things faster. • Drive alignment across teams and stakeholders beyond your immediate group, communicating complex ideas with confidence, clarity, and empathy. • Raise the craft bar across the design team, setting new standards in at least one design discipline and elevating the work of those around you. • Mentor and coach Senior Designers, contribute to evolving design team culture, and get involved in hiring and planning. • Help expand the design team’s influence and reputation inside the org, across the company, and beyond it.

• Work flexibly and remote-friendly from Europe or one of the hubs in London, Copenhagen, Munich, or Zurich. • Take 25 days of annual leave plus public holidays in the country where you are based. • Access a generous referral scheme. • Get a work from home setup. • Work from anywhere in the world for up to 60 days per year. • Take a huge opportunity for career growth while helping shape a market-defining product.
