Lead Product Designer

This is a game-changer role for a Lead Product Designer who wants real ownership, real influence, and real problems to solve.

We're partnering with a global leading SaaS business operating at the intersection of AI, AdTech, and MarTech, with teams and customers across the UK, USA, and Europe.

The product is built on deep consumer insight and complex data and we're looking for a Lead Product Designer / IC who will RAISE THE BAR for product design across the platform.

The Challenge

You'll operate as a design leader without becoming a people manager.

This role is about:

  • Owning end-to-end product design across complex, data-heavy workflows
  • Turning customer insight and AI-driven outputs into intuitive, usable experiences
  • Partnering closely with product and engineering to influence what gets built and why
  • Defining design standards, principles, and patterns used across the product
  • Challenging assumptions and pushing the product forward, not just refining what exists
  • You'll be trusted to think big, move fast, and leave a visible mark on the product.

What They're Looking For

This is for designers who are still hands-on and opinionated about quality.

You'll likely bring:

  • Senior or Lead Product Design experience on complex SaaS or data-driven products
  • Strong interaction design and product thinking, not just visual polish
  • Experience designing for insight, analytics, or decision-making tools
  • Confidence operating as a senior individual contributor alongside product and engineering leaders
  • A portfolio that shows problem-solving, trade-offs, and outcomes
  • Title matters less than impact.

Why This Is Different

  • You stay close to the work. No drift into process theatre.
  • You influence product direction, not just execution.
  • You'll work on genuinely complex problems where design quality matters.
  • AI and data are core to the product, not bolt-ons.
  • This is a role for designers who want to set the standard, not follow one.

Salary & Package
