About Holo: At Holo, we’re on a mission to simplify homeownership through technology, expert guidance, and transparency. We operate across three core entities:Holo Mortgage – providing digital mortgage solutions tailored to each clientHolo Concierge – our concierge-style service that partners with clients and real estate agents to help approved buyers find their dream home.Holo KSA – expanding our footprint and innovation into the Saudi marketWith over 25 years of expertise and 24,000+ happy homeowners, we’ve mastered the art of simplifying the homebuying journey. We’re building a smarter, faster, and more accessible way to own a home.The Role We’re looking for a UX & Product Design Lead to raise the bar on product quality across Holo. As we expand across Mortgage, Concierge, Conveyancing, Finance, and Partner platforms, our product surface area is growing quickly. We need someone who can bring cohesion, clarity, and strong design principles across everything we build. You’ll lead and grow the design function while remaining hands-on with high-impact work. This means shaping complex workflows, refining service experiences, evolving our design system, and embedding strong UX thinking into discovery and delivery. This role sits at the intersection of craft and leadership. You’ll define what “good” looks like at Holo, ensure we build to that standard consistently, and help Product and Engineering make better experience decisions every day.If you care deeply about quality, simplicity, and building systems that scale thoughtfully, this role will give you real ownership to do that.What You’ll Own Define and implement Holo’s UX principles and design standards across all product surfacesOwn the evolution and governance of Holo’s design systemDesign high-impact, complex workflows across critical user experiencesElevate service experience across the full lifecycle - not just individual screensPartner closely with Product and Engineering to ensure strong discovery, usability validation, and delivery qualityIntroduce structured user research and usability testing practicesReduce design sprawl and ensure consistency across web, internal tools, and mobile surfacesEstablish scalable processes for design reviews, critique, and documentationWhat We’re Looking For 6+ years of experience in Product Design, with experience leading or mentoring other designersProven ability to raise the quality bar and establish strong design standards across teamsStrong end-to-end UX craft across research, interaction design, visual design, and systems thinkingExperience designing complex internal tools or operational systemsAbility to think beyond screens - designing service experience across the full customer lifecycleStrong systems thinker who can reduce complexity without oversimplifyingExperience building and maintaining scalable design systemsComfortable balancing hands-on design work with team leadership and hiringExcellent communicator who can articulate design decisions clearly to Product and EngineeringThrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with high ownershipBonus Experience in fintech, proptech, marketplaces, or high-consideration transactionsExperience designing for bilingual markets (EN/AR)Exposure to user research frameworks and structured usability testingExperience scaling a design team from early stage to growthWhy This Role Matters Holo is growing quickly across markets, teams, and product surfaces. As that complexity increases, design quality becomes harder to maintain - and more critical to get right. We’re building tools that power revenue internally and experiences that build trust externally. If the experience becomes inconsistent, cluttered, or overly complex, it slows teams down and chips away at customer confidence. We need someone who can bring clarity, cohesion, and strong standards across everything we ship. This role ensures our product experience scales thoughtfully - not accidentally - as the company grows.
