About the role
Who We Are
Zoopla is a leading UK property website and trusted consumer brand, empowering movers to make better property decisions with over nine million monthly users generating over one billion annual property searches.
Zoopla is more than a property portal. Over 5 million homeowners are subscribers, tracking their property values and providing a pipeline of movers for Zoopla’s customers (estate agents and housebuilders). The business is investing in leveraging its scale and reach to build new, AI-driven experiences that engage movers and unlock value and a strong return on investment for customers.
Our guiding behaviours define how we work together and what we expect from one another. These behaviours are to keep it simple, take ownership, make it better and win together. We strive for progress not perfection and have no doubt that we can achieve our ambitions if we focus on the right things, give it our all and do it together.
About the roleThis role is available on a 12-months FTC basis, with potential for permanency.
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join a cross-functional team and take ownership of meaningful parts of the Zoopla consumer experience.
This is a hands-on role with real scope to shape both what we build and how we build it. You’ll work across the full product lifecycle, from defining problems through to delivery and optimisation, designing experiences that are intuitive, useful and deliver real business impact. You won’t just respond to briefs; you’ll help define opportunity areas, connect work to broader product and business goals, and ensure what we build delivers measurable results.
This role suits someone who thinks beyond individual features. Someone who understands how journeys connect, how products perform over time, and how design can influence growth, conversion and customer value.
You’ll balance improving what exists today with identifying what comes next, contributing to both immediate delivery and longer-term product direction.

- Design and iterate through experimentation, working with Product, Engineering and Data to test, learn and optimise journeys over time
- Continuously refine experiences based on performance, contributing to a culture of learning and optimisation
- Look beyond the current roadmap to identify new opportunities that drive customer and business value
- Rapidly explore and validate ideas through prototyping and testing
- Use modern tools and approaches, including AI-assisted design, to improve speed and quality of output
- Contribute to design systems and ways of working that improve quality, consistency and speed across the team
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners to align on goals and shape problems, not just solutions
- Influence prioritisation and decision-making by clearly articulating customer value, business impact and trade-offs
- Facilitate workshops and design sessions that align teams and move work forward
- Communicate ideas, rationale and outcomes clearly to stakeholders at different levels
- Act as a strong design voice within your team, raising the quality of thinking and execution
Please include a portfolio (with ease of access) of relevant work.

- Strong product thinking, with the ability to connect design decisions to consumer and business outcomes
- Confident in user research methodologies and testing, and comfortable working with data, experimentation and performance metrics
- Ability to think in systems and journeys, not just individual features
- Confident collaborating across disciplines and influencing decisions
- Experience facilitating workshops and driving alignment
- Curious about emerging technologies (including AI) and how they can be applied to improve the consumer experience, decision-making and product capability
- Proficiency in design tools such as Figma or similar, and can adapt your approach to the needs of the project.
- You think strategically and look beyond immediate tasks to identify opportunities and drive impact
- You take ownership from problem through to measurable outcome
