Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Remote

Reporting To: Head of Design

Hi I'm Elvin, Head of Design at Pinpoint.

We're a high growth HR tech company building software that helps in house recruitment teams attract, hire, and onboard the right talent. Today we have a strong foundation in place: a mature product, rapid growth, strong product market fit, and happy customers.

Inside Pinpoint sits a part of the product most ATSs don't have: background checks, right to work, reference checks, one way video interviews and the credits and billing that power them. We call it Marketplace. It's the squad behind the revenue that scales with how much customers use us, and an important strategic bet towards continued growth.

For the past two quarters I've been its designer, its PM and the Head of Design at the same time. The next phase is harder than what we've already shipped, and it needs someone whose whole job it is, which is why we're hiring a Staff Product Designer.

You’ll be the only designer on the Marketplace squad, working alongside our Head of Commercial Product (the squad's PM), our Tech Lead, a Senior Product Engineer, and our Head of Roadmap Engineering.

• 100% remote. You can be based in the UK, Portugal, Spain or Poland, working UK hours, with a few in person team meetups a year. We're headquartered in Jersey with a team of 100 across the UK, EU and US.
• The product is a set of status driven workflows: a check gets ordered, a vendor or a regulator decides what happens next, and the design has to handle every outcome, including the ones that fail. Our third party vendors set what's possible and the compliance rules are fixed, so you'll spend as much time understanding how a vendor actually behaves as you do in Figma.
• AI is how we work, not a tool we're trialling. I ship my own PRs through Claude Code now, and I hadn't shipped one 3 months ago. You don't need to have done that yet, but you do need to be using AI across your work today and to want to learn.
• There's no research function. Decisions have been quick and under pressure for a while. We want someone who can make a good call fast and who also pulls the squad toward research backed judgement as the norm.
• Our values actually matter here. We hire people who reflect them in how they work, collaborate, and make decisions.

• Own design for every usage based feature in Pinpoint, end to end: from the first conversation with a vendor or customer, through the spec and the design, to shipped and measured.
• Ship the next phase of Pinpoint Checks: DBS update service with automated routing, rechecks, sending check data to downstream systems, decision and audit flows, and the UK high compliance checks that follow.
• Turn credits from something customers are given into something they understand and use. Credit visibility, self serve costing and in platform credit management are being scoped now and they are yours to design.
• Shape Marketplace product strategy with the PM going into 2027, then execute on it. Discovery here is shared between you and the PM, not handed to you.
• Write the plan into the ticket before anything is built: the decisions made, the edge cases covered, the questions closed, so an engineer (or you) can build it with Claude without a second round of questions.
• Prototype in code where it beats Figma, submit your own PRs for small front end fixes, and QA what ships.
• Be the person Support, Sales and Legal come to when a check is stuck or a customer asks what a vendor does with their data. You'll know the domain better than almost anyone in the company within 90 days.
• Bring Marketplace work to weekly design crit and feed new patterns (status cards, order flows, decision…
