Principal Product Designer

Hello! We're Teya. Teya is a payment and software service provider, headquartered in London, serving small local businesses across Europe. Founded in 2019, we build easy‑to‑use, integrated tools that enable our members to accept payments and boost business performance.

At Teya we believe small, local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities. We’re here because we don’t believe there’s a level playing field that gives small businesses a fighting chance against the giants of the high street. Banks and legacy service providers make things harder for them, and we think the best technology and service should not be reserved for those with the biggest headquarters.

We fight for a future where small local businesses can thrive, and we commit the same dedication they offer all of us.

Become a part of our story. We’re looking for exceptional talent to join our mission. You’ll create impact in a high‑energy, connected culture while enjoying continuous learning, a supportive community, and comprehensive benefits.

As a Principal / Staff Product Designer – Growth, you will be a senior individual contributor leading design for high‑impact growth initiatives across the customer lifecycle—from acquisition and activation to engagement, monetization, and retention. This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, experimentation, and systems thinking. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data, and Marketing to identify growth opportunities, run experiments, and scale what works—raising the bar for design quality and craft across Teya.

• Own and drive design strategy for growth initiatives across web and product surfaces
• Lead end‑to‑end design for complex, ambiguous growth problems—from discovery to delivery and iteration
• Partner with Product Managers, Engineers, Data Scientists, and Growth Marketers to define hypotheses, experiments, and success metrics
• Translate insights from data, user research, and experimentation into clear design direction and impactful solutions
• Design and refine onboarding, activation flows, pricing and packaging, upsell/cross‑sell experiences, and lifecycle touchpoints
• Balance rapid experimentation with high‑quality, scalable design solutions
• Influence product and growth strategy through strong design thinking and storytelling
• Contribute to and evolve Teya’s design system to support speed and consistency at scale
• Mentor and coach other designers, raising the overall design maturity of the organization
• Act as a design leader without formal people management—setting standards, shaping culture, and leading by example

• 8+ years of experience in product design, with significant experience in growth, experimentation, or funnel optimization
• Proven track record of designing products that drive measurable business impact (e.g., activation, conversion, retention, revenue)
• Strong understanding of experimentation frameworks, metrics, and data‑informed decision‑making
• Exceptional craft across interaction design, UX, and visual design
• Ability to simplify complex problems and communicate clearly with cross‑functional partners
• Experience working in fast‑paced, product‑led environments (fintech experience is a plus, not a requirement)
• Comfort operating at both strategic and hands‑on levels
• Strong leadership and influence skills, with a collaborative and pragmatic mindset

• Experience designing for SMBs, payments, or financial products
• Familiarity with growth tooling, analytics platforms, or A/B testing frameworks

• Extended and improved maternity and paternity leave choices.
