About the Role
This is a rare opportunity to join The Gym Group as a Senior Digital Product Designer, working at the heart of a cross-functional product team to shape the end-to-end digital experience for over a million members. You will own the full design process - from research and discovery through to delivery and optimisation - and have real influence over what gets built and why.
Responsibilities
- Leading continuous discovery alongside Product and Engineering, using research, data and customer insight to identify the right problems and shape product direction.
- Planning and conducting user research - interviews, usability testing, surveys and behavioural analysis - to build a clear, evidence-based picture of member needs.
- Designing end-to-end member experiences across web and app, from early concepts and service blueprints through to polished, accessible UX and UI.
- Prototyping and testing ideas early to validate hypotheses, reduce risk and keep teams focused on meaningful outcomes rather than assumed solutions.
- Collaborating closely with the wider Product Design team to evolve the Design System, maintain quality standards and build a culture of constructive critique and shared learning.
- Using analytics and experimentation tools (including GA4, Contentsquare and HEAP) to evaluate live experiences and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
- Facilitating workshops and collaborative sessions that bring together Product, Engineering, Marketing, Operations and other stakeholders to align on problems and solutions.
- Championing customer-centred thinking across TGG, helping teams move from a focus on features to a focus on problems, learning and measurable impact.
Requirements
- A strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product design work - including research-led discovery, service or journey design, and high-quality UX and UI across digital products.
- Proven experience working across the full product lifecycle in a multidisciplinary agile team, including genuine ownership of research, design and delivery.
- Confidence using qualitative and quantitative research methods to understand user needs and translate insight into clear product decisions.
- Proficiency with Figma and collaboration tools such as Miro, plus working familiarity with analytics platforms like GA4, Contentsquare or HEAP.
- Solid knowledge of accessibility standards, inclusive design principles and practical experience working with or contributing to a Design System.
- Strong communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to present design rationale clearly and influence stakeholders using evidence.
