Ready to step up into a role where you own real projects, inherit a full design system, and do work that actually matters? This could be it. Salary & package £42,000 £45,000 Permanent London / Hybrid (2 3 days in office) 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off Private medical insurance (WPA) Pension matched up to 5%, ethically invested 6 paid volunteering days per year Life assurance at 4x salary About Social Value Portal Social Value Portal is the UK's leading platform for measuring and reporting social value - and it has been since 2014. The business works with organisations across the public, private, and voluntary sectors, helping them quantify and grow the positive impact they create. To date, more than £60bn in social value has been unlocked through its platform and customer relationships. The team is growing and internationalising. The product sits at the heart of it all, and this role sits at the heart of the product. The role You'll join as a Product Designer reporting to the Head of Product, working closely day-to-day with the senior designer who has built the existing design system from the ground up. You're not starting from scratch - you'll inherit a full design system, a pattern library, an established research group, and a platform that's already live and scaling.
