- Collaborate with our UX, Design & Technology teams to create shared understanding and build best in class solutions;
- Validate solutions through the Product discovery process to support assumptions and test hypotheses;
- Measure the performance of your releases to ensure they deliver the impact expected. Iterate when they don’t;

- Comfortable working at the MVP level, creating iterations quickly to test our assumptions about value or implementation.
It’d be nice if you had:
- Experience of Lean UX;
- Experience working in truly collaborative collocated environments, not just in the Product team;
- Experience of delivering Product based workshops e.g. design sprints.

The deadline for applications is 9th December 2019. We’ll be calling the best candidates for interview as soon as we spot them so don’t delay in applying!
Who we are
Mumsnet is the UK’s biggest website for parents, and our purpose is to make their lives easier. We’ve got some of the busiest forums in Europe, with users offering each other advice and support 24/7 (as well as more content, bloggers, videos, events and campaigns than you can shake a rattle at). We want to be indispensably useful for parents, and a great place to work.
Why work for us?
We’ve grown steadily and sustainably over the last 19-odd years and we’ve got every intention of carrying on. We’re building a high-performance, collaborative and agile work environment. We believe that mistakes are human, but learning is divine. We put purpose before profits, we’re committed to diversity and equality, and our computers – metaphorically speaking – say ‘YES’.
We don’t only want to hire the best people: we want to retain them. If you need some flexibility, let us know and we’ll do our best.

We are also proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We host sandwich lunches, staff parties and knowledge sessions; we have a choir, shuffleboard competition and a football team; and we have our own yoga studio while remaining tolerant of the Lycra-averse. Working for Mumsnet means never having to pretend you don’t have a family (or other commitments) and we promise never to keep you away from the school sports day.
Where we are
We’re based in sunny Kentish Town, where you’re never more than 500 metres away from a sourdough pizza and an elaborately refurbished pub.
