Product Designer (Principal-Level)

• Lead design across Synthesia's most complex and high-impact product surfaces as a Principal Product Designer (L7) — a senior IC role at the highest level of individual craft and strategic influence. • Define design direction for large, ambiguous problem spaces, shaping what great design looks like at Synthesia as the company builds a video platform intended to sit alongside word processors, presentation software, and spreadsheets as a daily staple. • Operate at the intersection of product strategy, systems thinking, and exceptional craft — this role goes beyond execution into helping the company make the right bets. • Work remote from Europe or hybrid from London, Copenhagen, Munich, or Zurich.

• Have 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. • Demonstrate recognised excellence in craft in at least one design discipline, with a history of raising the standard for those around you. • Be comfortable operating without perfect clarity — turn ambiguous problem spaces into crisp direction without waiting for a well-defined brief. • Bring systems thinking — understand how product architecture, AI capabilities, and organisational constraints shape what's possible in the UX, not just what looks good on screen. • Show strong strategic instincts — frame the right problems, challenge assumptions, and contribute meaningfully to roadmap and prioritisation decisions. • Have experience aligning diverse stakeholders and cross-functional teams around design decisions, communicating with confidence and empathy at every level. • Have experience mentoring senior designers and contributing 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 prior experience designing for AI-native or agentic product experiences. • Bring experience working on creative or video tooling products at scale. • Have experience prototyping and testing interaction models rapidly, knowing when to go high-fidelity and when a rough concept moves things faster. • Bring experience helping expand a design team's influence and reputation both within an organisation and externally. • Have experience shaping design direction for enterprise products used by Fortune 100 companies.

• Lead large, complex, or ambiguous design initiatives across teams and surfaces — owning direction, success criteria, and long-term UX vision, not just execution. • Reframe problems, anticipate downstream risks, and bring clarity to spaces where product direction is still forming. • Operate 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 — set new standards in at least one design discipline and actively elevate 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 ideally beyond it.

• Work from a flexible, remote-friendly role based out of Europe or one of Synthesia's hubs in London, Copenhagen, Munich, or Zurich. • Take 25 days of annual leave plus public holidays. • Use a work-from-anywhere policy of up to 60 days per year. • Receive a work-from-home setup allowance. • Access a generous referral scheme. • Have a huge opportunity for career growth helping shape a market-defining product.
