Job description

About Lawhive

Our mission is to make the law accessible to everyone.

The legal industry is built on technology and processes that haven’t been updated in hundreds of years - that's why we've reinvented the entire model from the ground up with our own bespoke AI operating system at the core.

Lawhive is a regulated law firm with an AI-native platform built to amplify expertise and revolutionise the way people practice law, leading to exceptional outcomes for clients and lawyers.

Lawhive Labs is how we bring this vision to life. It’s our frontier lab that combines top engineering, design, AI and legal talent from around the world, joining forces to build the future of law.

We’re backed by top-tier investors, including Google Ventures, Balderton Capital and TQ Ventures, and in early 2026, we secured $60M Series B funding round to facilitate international expansion and to grow our team.

We’re headquartered in London and in 2025 successfully launched in the US…and we’re just getting started.

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Product Designer to help build our platform and suite of AI products. You’ll be an individual contributor with strong UX, UI and visual design fundamentals, comfortable shipping real products fast, and deeply curious about how design and technology intersect.

Reporting to the Head of Design, you’ll own the UX of our core Legal OS product suite, working closely with product, engineering and leadership in a fast-moving, technical environment.

Core Product Design

• Own end-to-end UX across our Legal and AI products
• Move fluidly from strategy to execution
• Design clear, usable, high-quality interfaces for lawyers and legal clients
• Work daily with product and engineering to ship quickly
• Contribute to product process and team growth

How You’ll Work

• Design in or alongside the browser, not just in Figma
• Work comfortably with front-end primitives (components, tokens, HTML/CSS, React)
• Prototype and experiment using code or AI-assisted tools where it helps
• Design AI-native experiences (human-in-the-loop, trust, ambiguity)
• Develop design systems, handle edge cases and chase polish

Digital & Brand Design

• Design digital assets for marketing, launches and landing pages
• Collaborate with Creative Studio and Marketing on public-facing work
• Contribute to the evolution of Lawhive’s visual identity

Our Product Culture

• Ownership – You care deeply about quality and outcomes
• Speed is a feature – We ship fast and learn quickly
• Empathy for users – We design for the realities of legal work
• High standards – We aim to be category-defining
• Learning by doing – We experiment pragmatically with new tech

What You\'ll Bring

• 8+ years as a Product Designer shipping complex digital products
• A strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end UX, UI, graphic design visual craft
• Deep expert in Figma and modern design and developer tooling
• Proven experience researching, prototyping and validating ideas quickly
• Comfortable in fast-paced, high-growth product teams
• Strong product judgment: opinionated, pragmatic and user-centred
• Able to operate at both strategic and execution level
• Experience building products used by large, real-world audiences

Interview process

• Introductory call with our Talent team
• 1:1 with your hiring manager
• Technical interview
• Values interview with one of our Founders
• We offer!

Benefits

• 💰 Meaningful early-stage equity at one of Europe’s fastest growing startups
• ✈️ 33 days’ annual leave (25 + bank holidays) plus your birthday off
• 💰 Pension contribution via Nest
• 💷 20% off legal fees through Lawhive
• 💻 Top-spec Macbook
• ⛳️ Regular team building activities and socials!

Diversity at Lawhive

At Lawhive we know that diversity of thought is critical to delivering outlier outcomes. As such, we’re always working hard to ensure we build a diverse, inclusive team. We’re not yet where we want to be but as we scale we’ll only ever increase the focus we apply to this.

Compensation Range: £80K - £110K
