Lead Designer

Lead Designer, Web

London, hybrid | £80,000 - 100,000 DOE + RSUs

Futureheads is partnering with a growing consumer health tech business to hire a Lead Designer with exceptional web craft.

You’ll own the pages where people first discover the service, understand their options and decide whether to take the next step. These experiences need to explain complex, sensitive information clearly, combining compelling storytelling with thoughtful interaction and polished visual design.

This could suit a multidisciplinary designer from an agency, freelance or in-house background. Your portfolio may span web, digital and brand, provided it shows depth in designing websites that make substantial content engaging and easy to navigate.

The role

Working closely with growth, commercial and design colleagues, you’ll create mobile-first landing pages, product explainers and reusable components.

The challenge is to make detailed information digestible while preserving the substance people need to make an informed decision. You’ll consider both the person scanning quickly and the person who wants to read every word.

You’ll:

• Own web experiences from initial problem definition through design, delivery and iteration.
• Build clear narratives across explainers, comparisons, pricing, FAQs and supporting evidence.
• Use typography, layout, imagery and illustration to create hierarchy and establish trust.
• Design interactions such as tabs, sticky navigation, comparison toggles and progressive disclosure that help people understand the content.
• Create reusable page sections, templates and interactive components that support fast delivery.
• Collaborate with CRO specialists to develop ideas, test approaches and improve performance.
• Work confidently with senior commercial stakeholders, explaining your decisions clearly and responding constructively to feedback.
• Use AI tools where they improve exploration, prototyping or production, applying your own judgement throughout.

What we’re looking for:

• Excellent visual and interaction design, demonstrated through polished web work.
• Experience designing long, content-rich pages that work beautifully on mobile.
• Strong typography, composition and storytelling skills.
• Product and UX foundations: you understand customer intent, accessibility and what happens before and after the page.
• Hands-on ownership, comfort with ambiguity and the ability to ship and iterate at pace.
• Clear, concise communication and a collaborative approach.
• Experience using reusable components and patterns without making every page feel identical.

Brand design or art direction experience would be beneficial, particularly where you’ve translated a visual identity into an effective digital experience.

Motion skills are welcome, especially subtle transitions and micro-interactions that improve understanding, but aren’t a prerequisite. You’ll have analytical support from CRO colleagues, so deep data expertise isn’t essential.

Your portfolio - we’d particularly like to see:

• A substantial page you designed end to end, showing how you organised detailed content for mobile.
• Interaction that makes information easier to explore and understand.
• Your personal contribution and the reasoning behind the work.

Prototypes or short recordings are useful where available. If the live website has changed since your involvement, original designs and case studies are welcome.

Package and working arrangement

• Up to £100,000 base salary, depending on experience, plus RSUs.
• London office, 3 days a week, including Friday.
• Flexibility around working hours.
• Pension, professional development and wellbeing benefits.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK without employer sponsorship.

• To apply, please share your CV and portfolio, including any access details. The interview process includes a focused take-home design task, capped at four hours.
