About the Role
Perlego is on a mission to make education accessible to everyone. Dubbed "The Spotify for Textbooks," we provide learners worldwide unlimited access to over 1.5 million ebooks and educational resources from 9,000+ leading publishers. We partner with hundreds of universities, businesses, and training providers to put a library in every learner's pocket—and we’re just getting started.
As a Senior Product Designer at Perlego, you will work closely with Product Managers, Software Engineers, QA, and CX specialists within cross-functional tribes and squads to solve real problems for learners and partner institutions. You will join a collaborative design team led by our Product Design Manager and Senior Product Designer, owning end-to-end user experiences within your assigned domains while contributing to overarching design standards and our core Design System.
User Experience & Product Delivery
Own end-to-end design execution by transforming broad, complex user problems into elegant, intuitive product experiences across web and mobile platforms. Collaborate with CX and Product teams to gather insights, run usability tests, and validate design hypotheses before and after launch. Drive proactive, hypothesis-driven solution finding to elevate our design practice beyond reactive feature delivery.
Craft, Process & Systems
Work closely with the Design Lead and Design System owner to utilise, test, and contribute components to our design system. Maintain clean user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes (Figma), and clear developer documentation for seamless build cycles. Participate actively in design critiques to ensure visual and interaction design excellence across all touchpoints.
Collaboration & Alignment
Partner daily with PMs, Engineers, and QA to balance user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility. Track key performance metrics and user feedback post-launch to continuously iterate and improve product experiences.
Experience
5+ years of digital product design experience shipping high-quality web and mobile applications. Experience in SaaS, edtech, or consumer subscription products is a strong advantage.
About you
- Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design process from discovery and research to wireframing, polished UI, and developer handover.
- Expert proficiency with Figma, prototyping tools, and modern design workflows.
- Hands-on experience building features using standardised component libraries and contributing to team design systems.
- Comfortable using quantitative data and qualitative user insights to justify design decisions.
- Experience working in agile, cross-functional squads alongside software engineering teams.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate design rationale and trade-offs to team members and stakeholders.
Qualifications
No formal qualifications required beyond proven experience and a strong portfolio demonstrating your design expertise and process.
