Head of Product Design
London (Hybrid) or Remote UK/EU
Up to £120k + benefits

I'm partnering with a globally recognised premium consumer brand to hire a Head of Product Design at a really exciting moment for the business.
They're in the middle of a major brand evolution and building a new mobile-first product experience launching in 2026. Digital is becoming central to the business, and design will play a huge role in shaping that.
This is a hands-on leadership role - not a "reviewing slides from afar" kind of job.
You'll lead the design function, own the design system, and be deep in the work yourself.
You'll also have one direct report (mid-level product designer) and work closely with product managers, engineers and a highly respected brand/creative team.
What you'll be doing
Leading design on a new mobile-first product experience launching in 2026
Designing mobile app journeys focused on conversion, retention and engagement
Building and owning the design system across web and mobile
Improving ecommerce and checkout flows to drive commercial performance
Designing omnichannel experiences connecting digital and real-world touchpoints
Collaborating closely with product, engineering and brand teams
Shipping work fast and learning from real user behaviour
Mentoring and developing one mid-level designer
What they're looking for
10+ years in product design
Strong mobile app experience (iOS + Android)
Experience in consumer products, eCommerce or retail
Strong commercial awareness (conversion, LTV, retention etc.)
Experience owning or building design systems
Experience leading designers (even small teams)
Exceptional visual craft and product thinking
Big plus if you've worked on:
Subscription or membership products
Premium consumer brands or lifestyle products
International / multi-market products
Why this role is interesting
Major digital product launching in 2026
Huge influence over the digital expression of the brand
Ownership of the entire design system
Small, high-impact team
A leadership role where you still design every day
