synthesia - Product Designer (Principal-Level)
Requirements
• A track record of leading high-impact design work across large, ambiguous, or cross-functional problem spaces - and delivering outcomes that meaningfully shift product quality, clarity, or direction. • Recognised excellence in craft, in at least one design discipline, with a history of raising the standard for those around you. • Comfort operating without perfect clarity: you turn ambiguous problem spaces into crisp direction, and you don't wait to be handed a well-defined brief. • Systems thinking: you understand how product architecture, AI capabilities, and organisational constraints shape what's possible in the UX - not just what looks good on screen. • Strong strategic instincts: you frame the right problems, challenge assumptions, and contribute meaningfully to roadmap and prioritisation decisions. • Experience aligning diverse stakeholders and cross-functional teams around design decisions - communicating with confidence and empathy at every level. • Experience mentoring senior designers and contributing to team culture, hiring, or practice-building. • A genuine point of view on where product design is heading - and the credibility and communication skills to bring others along. • Put the Customer First • Own it & Go Direct • Be Fast & Experimental • Make the Journey Fun • You can read more about this in this public Notion page: https://synthesia.notion.site/How-we-work-at-Synthesia-f794caa72f8446efb6be22b551ce0fa2
Responsibilities
• 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, and helping leadership make sense of ambiguity. • Raise the craft bar across the design team: setting new standards in at least one design discipline and actively 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 ideally beyond it.
Benefits
• A flexible, remote friendly role based out of Europe or one of our hubs in London, Copenhagen, Munich, or Zurich. • 25 days of annual leave + public holidays in the country where you are based. • A generous referral scheme. • Work from home set up. • At Synthesia, you can work from anywhere (within reason) in the world for up to 60 days per year! • A huge opportunity for career growth as you’ll help shape a market-defining product.
