Senior Product Designer

Who are we?

Lyka is an Australian founded pet wellness company that’s shaking up an outdated industry and paving the way for happier, healthier pets. Despite medical advancements, animal lifespans are on the decline. Today, the average pet only reaches 37% of their full potential lifespan and statistics have shown us that many suffer from dental disease, cancer, and obesity. Simply put, the status quo is not enough.

As humans, we’ve experienced firsthand the positive impact fresh wholefoods can have on our health and wellbeing, and we believe our furry friends deserve the same. We're on a mission to do just that, starting with nutritionally balanced, wholefood meals delivered direct to doors around Australia. As the world’s most sustainable pet wellness company, we’re putting pets and our planet first - one bowl at a time.

Today, we are proud to share we’ve served 50 million meals to puppers and their parents across Australia, and this is just the beginning. Our vision is to create multiple nutritional products, adding disease prevention meals and supplements, and expand into new markets.

Currently, we have a team of 250+ pet-obsessed people and we're continuing to grow (yes, looking at you!). These carefully selected people are dedicated to building the next generation of technology and products to help empower pet parents to take control over their pet’s wellbeing.

To date, we have raised over $60M in funding from venture capital investors and pet industry insiders, who believe in our mission and ability to drive change in a stagnant industry, providing nutrition that nourishes puppers from the inside out.

Are you ready to shake things up and give pets the life they deserve? Come join our pack!

Our Mission

The time we share with our pets is being cut short. Despite medical advancements, they’re getting sicker earlier. They’re dying prematurely. The industry has it backwards - prioritising treating symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. That’s where we come in.

At Lyka, we take a preventative, holistic and personalised approach to pet care. We look at the full picture, factoring in the diet, lifestyle and environment of each individual animal.

We don’t stop at symptoms, instead we dig for the root cause. We create nutrition plans unique to each pet, because it’s not just about living longer, but living well too.

Our mission is to increase the lifespan of dogs and cats.

The Opportunity

We're hiring for a Senior Product Designer in our Product Growth team. In this role, you'll work on fast-moving projects that aren't always clearly defined. We need someone who can spot real customer problems, find solutions, and test them quickly to see what works.

This is a senior individual contributor role with no direct reports. You'll work with a talented team to help customers get the most out of what we offer, improve our products, and decide what to work on next.

You'll partner with product, engineering, and data teams to test ideas and learn fast. This helps us make better decisions about what we bring to market.

Insights into how customers interact with your experiences will help us understand where our strengths and weaknesses lie and where we might need to focus next as we work to become the leading choice for pet nutrition in Australia and beyond.

What you'll do:

• Proactively identify opportunities, set direction based on customer insights, and drive work forward with minimal oversight.
• Lead end-to-end design for growth initiatives, from problem discovery to impactful solutions.
• Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and cross-functional partners to move ideas quickly from concept to launch.
• Use research, experimentation, and real data to validate ideas and accelerate learning.
• Uphold design excellence through high-quality visuals, prototypes, and cohesive user experiences.
• Mentor teammates and foster a culture of craft, speed, and shared ownership.
