About the role
About Motorway Motorway is the UK’s fastest-growing used car marketplace - our online-only platform connects private car sellers with thousands of verified dealers nationwide, ensuring everyone gets the best deal. Founded in 2017, our award-winning, technology-led approach has redefined the experience of selling a car. Motorway is backed by some of the world’s leading technology investors, having raised £143 million in Series C funding. This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing scale-up at a crucial phase of growth and help change an industry for the better. The Opportunity As a Lead Product Designer at Motorway, you won't just be producing great design - you'll be raising the ceiling for everyone around you. You'll shape how
the team works, set the standard for craft and rigor, and bring a clear point of view on where design is heading. You'll take ownership of our most complex design challenges, working across the full product lifecycle from discovery to delivery. You'll be a trusted voice in cross-functional conversations, a mentor to other designers, and someone who actively shapes the culture and ways of working within the design team. This is a role for someone who thinks deeply, builds boldly, and leads by doing. What You'll Be Doing This isn't a role for a pixel-pusher. We want a visionary with a builder’s soul. You will step into an environment where your work has immediate, massive scale, and your leadership directly influences the future of our product ecosystem. Tackling the Big Stuff: You’ll own our most complex, ambiguous product challenges, transforming messy problems into elegant, crystal-clear user experiences from discovery to deployment. Pioneering AI in Design: You won't just use AI tools—you’ll write the playbook for them. You'll spearhead how our team thoughtfully integrates AI to supercharge our workflows while keeping human judgment and craft at the center. Designing Beyond the Screen: You'll bring a "builder mindset" to the table, collaborating seamlessly with engineering because you speak their language—whether that’s through code, complex prototypes, or building your own tools. Championing the User: You will be the fierce advocate for our users, leveraging deep research, continuous usability testing, and sharp data insights to validate every move we make. Scaling Design Culture: You'll run high-impact workshops, level up weekly team rituals, and foster an environment where diverse perspectives thrive and designers do the best work of their careers.
