Director of Product Design

📍 London (Hybrid – 2 days on site)

💰 Salary of £145k (DOE) + Bonus + LTIP (let’s talk details)

The next era of retail isn’t being built in boardrooms, it’s being designed.

We’re working with one of the UK’s most loved consumer brands, a household name turned digital insurgent, now rewriting what it means to shop, discover, and connect online.

They’ve got momentum, global ambition, and a belief that design isn’t decoration, it’s direction.

This is your moment to define it.

As Director of Product Design, you’ll lead a team that fuses creativity with conversion, emotion with insight, and bold thinking with measurable impact. You’ll shape the experience of millions, from the tap of a button to the feeling they leave with.

It’s big. It has Impact. And it needs someone who’s not afraid to break the mould.

What you’ll actually do

• Set the vision and north star for design: a strategy that moves hearts and metrics.
• Lead and grow a multi-disciplinary team that sweats craft, speed, and storytelling.
• Build the systems and structures that scale design quality without killing creativity.
• Hardwire data, research, and experimentation into every creative decision.
• Partner with senior leaders to prove how design drives growth, loyalty, and brand love.
• Champion AI-powered workflows that make your team faster, sharper, and more inventive.
• Be the voice of design at the top table, influencing the direction of digital retail itself.

You’ll thrive here if you...

• Have led design at scale in fast-moving, consumer-first brands: retail, lifestyle, or eCommerce.
• Think beyond UI: you connect pixels to purpose, storytelling to sales.
• Get excited by speed, growth, and ambiguity: you turn chaos into clarity.
• Know how to scale design systems without scaling bureaucracy.
• Have 10+ years in product design, with at least 5 leading teams, shaping strategy, and driving impact.
• Are curious, culturally tuned in, and allergic to “how it’s always been done.”

Why it matters

This brand isn’t chasing the pack, they’re redefining it. From product drops that trend on social to digital experiences that drive real emotion, they’re creating the kind of brand people talk about.

And they’re giving you the keys to make design the driver, not the afterthought.

Why work with us

We’ve been part of their story from the start: building their design and product leadership teams as they scaled. That means we know the people, the culture, and how to help you show up as your best self through the process.

If you’re the kind of design leader who wants to leave fingerprints, not just frameworks: this is your stage.

Hit apply, and let’s talk.
