Head of Product Design

We’re hiring a Head of Product Design/Founding Product Designer to take ownership of a high-growth digital product at a premium consumer brand undergoing a major transformation.

This is not a management role.

This is for someone who designs, ships, and moves metrics.

You’ll be the first in-house product design hire, taking over from an external agency, and working alongside Product and Engineering to define and deliver the next phase of the digital experience – including a new mobile app and a replatformed ecommerce journey.

3-4 days a week in London office required.

£100,000 - £120,000

THE ROLE

You’ll operate as a hands-on design lead, responsible for both execution and direction.

• Designing and shipping end-to-end ecommerce experiences, with a focus on checkout, conversion, and revenue performance
• Taking ownership of a mobile app build, from early direction through to launch
• Building a design system from scratch to enable speed and consistency
• Identifying friction in key journeys and fixing what’s impacting conversion and retention
• Working closely with Product Managers – challenging roadmap decisions when needed
• Collaborating with engineers to ship quickly and iterate continuously
• Bridging brand and product – ensuring a high-quality, premium experience across all touchpoints

This is a high-pace environment. You’ll be expected to ship regularly, learn from real usage, and improve continuously.

THE CANDIDATE

• Strong background in ecommerce or consumer products, with clear ownership of transactional journeys (especially checkout)
• Proven track record of improving commercial metrics – conversion, retention, revenue
• Experience designing for mobile apps (iOS/Android) in production environments
• Experience building or owning a design system from the ground up
• Prior experience up to Principal/Head of (but hands-on) level

Mindset & Approach

• Commercially minded – you think in terms of revenue impact, not just user experience
• Bias to action – you ship, test, and iterate rather than over-planning
• Comfortable working in startup-style environments with ambiguity and pace
• Confident enough to challenge product decisions and influence direction
• Hands-on and detail-oriented – you care about craft, but not at the expense of speed

If this sounds like you, then please apply ASAP with your CV & PORTFOLIO to stand the best chance of getting an interview!
