Company mission
To make renting painless — for renters and agents alike.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years in product roles (ideally in SaaS, ops, or marketplace tools)
- Comfortable leading a sprint, drawing a wireframe, and talking to users — all in one day
- Strong communication skills (verbal, visual, and written)
- Confidence working in Figma, Notion, and product analytics tools
- Eye for clean, intuitive, hierarchy-driven UI
- Deep empathy for users under pressure (e.g. agents in peak season chaos)
- Experience working in lean teams and shipping iteratively
Desirable
- You've rented in a broken market and thought “surely this could be better”
- Experience in proptech, marketplace software, or customer ops tools
- You’ve designed something that made someone say “finally, this makes sense”
What the job involves
- Apply critical thinking, review the data, and prioritise the roadmap
- Own feature development end-to-end — from problem framing to final UI
- Run discovery sessions with agents and renters to uncover pain points
- Own Incident Channel & reporting on Incidents to the team (keep team in loop with any changes to the Roadmap)
- Translate insights into flows, wireframes, and specs
- Own Product comms to clients to keep clients in the loop with new features
- Maintain and evolve our internal design system (simplicity > style)
- Ruthlessly prioritise what moves the needle and what doesn’t
- Drive our UX forward — clarity, speed, calm interfaces are the goal
Application process
- 15 min intro interview with Head of Operations
- Technical assessment with CTO
- Cultural fit interview with CEO

Our take
First-time student renters are in a vulnerable position. Finding available properties can be tricky, and with little experience or authority students all too often end up tied to unscrupulous landlords and poorly maintained flats. It’s created a substantial trust issue, and HYBR is a new and buzzy real estate marketplace looking to solve this.
On the one hand HYBR provides students access to accommodation from reputable landlords in their city, as well as support from the HYBR team with admin challenges. On the other, landlords can access a more flexible and affordable leasing plan than those typically offered by traditional letting agents. A win-win in theory, and in practice HYBR has received resoundingly positive customer feedback from both sides of the equation.
The platform launched relatively recently, but is currently live already across 8 UK cities, with a focus on Bristol. It will need to bulk out property numbers in major rental hotspots like London as it grows, but with the kind of nationwide attention it’s already attracting, HYBR has the potential to scale rapidly.
