🎨 Product Designer – Community Squad

📍 Location: Sunderland, Leeds, Gibraltar, or Dublin (Hybrid)
🕓 Contract: Permanent

Join us in shaping the future of community at tombola

We’re on the lookout for a creative and player-focused Product Designer to join our brand-new Community Squad — a team dedicated to reimagining how players connect, compete, and express themselves on tombola.

This is an exciting opportunity to design experiences that bring people together — from social features and identity to playful, community-driven interactions that strengthen our player connections.

You’ll work end-to-end across discovery, concepting, and detailed design — collaborating with Product Managers, Engineers, Researchers, and Analysts to bring ideas to life.

At tombola, design is a team sport. We value curiosity, collaboration, and creativity — and we’re looking for someone who’s as passionate about user-centred design as they are about creating joyful, responsible player experiences.

What you’ll be doing

• Design player-first experiences — from initial ideas to pixel-perfect delivery.
• Create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that bring our community vision to life.
• Use research and data to design experiences that are simple, engaging, and rewarding.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Tech, Data, and Research to shape and deliver impactful solutions.
• Test and iterate designs quickly, validating usability and desirability through player feedback.
• Contribute to and evolve our design system, ensuring consistency and scalability across products.
• Champion accessibility, inclusion, and responsible design in everything you do.
• Explore innovative tools and technologies — including AI — to enhance the design process.
• Present and communicate your work clearly, bringing others along on the design journey.

What you’ll bring

• 3+ years’ experience in digital product design, delivering work for web and/or mobile.
• A strong portfolio that showcases thoughtful problem-solving, UX craft, and visual design.
• Solid experience using Figma — including components, auto-layout, and design systems.
• A collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively in cross-functional squads.
• A passion for designing experiences that bring players joy, connection, and value.
• Curiosity about how AI and innovation can enhance design practice.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience designing social or community-driven features.
• Knowledge of accessibility and inclusive design principles.
• Familiarity with front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JS) to support collaboration.
• Experience working with research insights and A/B testing.
• An interest in online entertainment, gaming, or social play.

Why tombola?

At tombola, we do things differently. We build everything in-house — from games and platforms to tools and creative — giving you the freedom to design meaningful experiences that make a real impact.

You’ll join a passionate, close-knit team where your ideas are heard, your work matters, and you’ll be supported to grow and develop in your career.
