Job description

About us

We are champions of rail, inspired to build a greener, more sustainable future of travel. Trainline enables millions of travellers to find and book the best value tickets across carriers, fares, and journey options through our highly rated mobile app, website, and B2B partner channels.

Great journeys start with Trainline 🚄

Now Europe’s number 1 downloaded rail app, with over 125 million monthly visits and £5.9 billion in annual ticket sales, we collaborate with 270+ rail and coach companies in over 40 countries. We want to create a world where travel is as simple, seamless, eco‑friendly and affordable as it should be.

Today, we're a FTSE 250 company driven by our incredible team of over 1,000 Trainliners from 50+ nationalities, based across London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Edinburgh and Madrid. With our focus on growth in the UK and Europe, now is the perfect time to join us on this high‑speed journey.

Introducing Design at Trainline

At Trainline, we’re focused on making rail the most convenient, compelling and sustainable way to travel. Design plays a central role in how we deliver on that ambition, bringing together customer insight, creativity and technology to build experiences that people trust, value and return to. Our UX team, led by Will Barker (UX Director, formerly IDEO & Samsung), is committed to building the world’s #1 rail platform. We believe great design doesn’t just improve products, it helps businesses grow, adapt confidently, and continue delivering value as they scale.

The Opportunity

Trainline is at a point of strategic maturity and as the business grows so does the opportunity to evolve how we deliver and communicate value to customers - with plans to move towards a more diversified, customer‑centric proposition that supports long‑term growth for the business and delivers even more value to our customers.

This design role sits at the heart of our Customer Growth area, where we are shaping the next phase of Trainline’s commercial evolution: refining how pricing, value and propositions work together as a clear, competitive and coherent offering. The goal is to ensure customers understand the value they’re getting, feel confident choosing Trainline, and see us as a long‑term partner in their travel.

As a Lead Product Designer, Product Growth at Trainline you will…

As a Lead Product Designer, you’ll help shape how Trainline’s evolving business model comes to life through customer experience, translating strategy into propositions and experiences that feel clear and valuable.

This is a hands‑on leadership role, balancing strategic thinking with high‑quality execution. You’ll lead design across a set of ‘Customer Growth’ initiatives that together define how customers engage with, pay for, and get value from Trainline.

You’ll work closely with Product, Commercial, Data and Engineering partners to explore, validate and deliver new propositions across web and app, ensuring customer needs and business goals are considered together from the outset.

Alongside your individual contribution, you’ll line‑manage and mentor designers in this space, setting direction, raising the quality bar, and helping the team deliver joined‑up, coherent experiences rather than isolated solutions.

From early discovery through to experimentation and delivery, you’ll use insight, craft and data to continuously improve outcomes, playing a key role in shaping the future of Product Growth at Trainline.

We’d love to hear from you if you have…

• Proven experience leading Product Design or UX within consumer‑facing digital products
• Experience working on growth‑oriented or commercially impactful areas, such as value propositions, pricing, subscriptions or customer lifecycle
• Strong hands‑on design skills, with high proficiency in Figma and a passion for craft and quality
• Experience designing and iterating through data‑informed experimentation
• Confidence designing for mobile apps and responsive web, with strong visual and interaction design foundations
• Experience line‑managing and mentoring designers, fostering clarity, confidence and collaboration
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, able to align partners around complex ideas
• A proactive, self‑starting mindset with strong collaboration across Product, Engineering and Commercial teams
• Curiosity around AI‑enabled tools and workflows, and how they can improve design effectiveness
