Head of Product

Role Overview
We re looking for a versatile Digital Designer who thrives on variety — someone equally at home crafting a pixel-perfect UI component as they are laying out a pitch deck, a print ad, or a social asset. You ll sit at the intersection of product and marketing, working closely with our engineers, commercial team, and brand to tell the visual story of Carbon Equity across every touchpoint.

This is not a role for someone who wants a narrow brief and a slow lane. We move fast, we care deeply about quality, and we believe design is a lever for impact. You ll have real ownership, real responsibility, and the freedom to shape how we work — not just what we make.

What You’ll Do

Own the full design spectrum — from web UI and digital product screens to marketing assets, online ads, printed materials, and slide deck templates

Bridge design and engineering — work closely with developers to close the gap between Figma and production; where needed, touch the codebase directly to refine CSS and proactively suggest frameworks and libraries that improve the workflow

Bring our brand to life — apply and continuously improve our recently updated brand book across all channels, ensuring consistency, quality, and visual impact

Elevate the details — obsess over micro-interactions, edge cases, and the small decisions that separate good design from great design

Maintain and evolve our design system — steward our component library and design tokens, keeping them scalable and coherent as the product grows

Support commercial teams — produce assets that help marketing and sales communicate our investment products compellingly and clearly

Champion smart ways of working — stay curious about new tools and technologies that make the team faster and better

What We re Looking For

A designer who combines strong UI skills with graphic design instincts — form and function, in equal measure

Someone who takes initiative and enjoys shaping the way design works within a tech team, not just executing tasks

Comfortable working across a wide range of challenges — and finding that variety energising rather than overwhelming

A collaborative, open personality who works well with engineers, marketers, and commercial teams

A commercial mindset — you understand that good design serves a purpose and contributes to business outcomes

Hands-on experience with Figma and an interest in front-end (CSS knowledge is a plus)

Enjoys working in a scale-up environment: fast-moving, high-ownership, and genuinely impactful

What We re Not Looking For

Someone who puts process above outcomes — if your toolkit defines the scope of your work, this isn t the right fit

A hyper-specialist who isn t curious about adjacent disciplines

Someone who prefers to work in isolation or only on a single type of project

A fully remote-only setup — we value in-person collaboration

Our design environment
We work in Figma and ship via server-rendered Django templates styled with Tailwind CSS v4, using a library of reusable Cotton components. Interactivity is handled through HTMX and Alpine.js. Our design system includes four type families (Inter, Sagona, Denim, Denim Ink) and a Plum primary palette with secondary accents — all defined in design tokens and documented in our brand book.

In short: there s a solid foundation here, and we re looking for someone who wants to build on it.
