Role: Product Design Lead (UI/UX)

Function: Product Design / UI/UX

Location: Delhi

Type: Full-time

Industry: Broadcast Media, Online Media, Media Production

About Company One of India's largest private FM radio networks, reaching 40 million+ listeners weekly. The company broadcasts across 49 cities, 1,000+ towns, and 50,000 villages. It is the only private FM station broadcasting from Jammu & Kashmir, with an international presence in Singapore and Bhutan. Its digital platform extends the brand into curated lifestyle, music, and news content. The company operates at the intersection of legacy broadcasting and digital innovation, with a team of 740.

Position Overview The company is building a media super-app that unifies video, audio, radio, micro-drama, news, and commerce on a single platform. The Product Design Lead will own end-to-end UI/UX and the design system across all six content and commerce verticals — setting the visual and interaction language that engineering and product build against. This is a foundational individual-contributor role with outsized influence on product direction, design quality, and the long-term scalability of the platform's design infrastructure.

Role & Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end UI/UX design across the consumer app, admin portal, and CMS — spanning video, audio, radio, micro-drama, news, and commerce surfaces
• Define, build, and evolve the shared Design System and component library in close partnership with the Frontend Architect, ensuring components are technically feasible and performant
• Set design standards, interaction patterns, and visual guardrails applied consistently across all product surfaces
• Lead user research and usability testing to ground design decisions in real user data and behavioral insights
• Partner with the Product Lead to translate product requirements into intuitive, high-quality user experiences across complex multi-surface flows
• Conduct design reviews for high-impact features and maintain the design quality bar across the platform
• Own accessibility and localization standards as the platform scales across content verticals and geographies

Must Have Criteria

• 6–8 years of product design experience, with at least 2–3 years in a design leadership or principal design capacity
• Deep expertise in UI/UX design for consumer mobile and web products at scale
• Proven track record of building or scaling a design system used across multiple products or surfaces
• Strong portfolio demonstrating design work across complex, multi-surface consumer products
• Hands-on proficiency with Figma (or equivalent modern design tool) and design-to-development handoff workflows
• Demonstrated ability to operate as a high-impact individual contributor — leading through craft and influence rather than headcount

Nice to Have

• Experience designing for media, content, or commerce super-app environments
• Prior experience at a high-growth startup in a 0→1 product-building context
• Experience designing for multiple content formats (video, audio, short-form) within a single unified platform
• Familiarity with WCAG accessibility standards and localization/internationalization design practices

What We Offer

• Foundational design ownership on a media super-app reaching 40M+ listeners — rare scope for an IC role
• Direct partnership with the Head of Engineering, Frontend Architect, and Product Lead with high design-to-product influence
• Opportunity to define the design system and visual language from the ground up across six content verticals
• Full-time role within a 740-person organization, combining startup pace with broadcast-scale distribution
