Job Description
This is a full-time, on-site Staff Product Designer role in London. The designer joins the Studio group, which concentrates on the Deliveroo product while also being part of a wider international design community made up of colleagues across Deliveroo, Wolt and DoorDash teams.
At this seniority the job is about setting the design direction for large, open-ended business questions and making sure what users need matches long-term commercial aims. The designer works with Product and Engineering leaders on structural decisions and on design rules that apply across the platform. The designer also searches for system-level improvements that raise speed, inclusiveness and user contentment at scale.
Mentoring makes up a substantial portion of the work. The posting calls for someone who can coach other senior designers, pass on practice across the global community and hold a high standard of craftsmanship.

Applicants should have guided major design programmes from initial concept to launch within fast-growing organisations, while balancing several stakeholders with conflicting demands. Persuasive communication is needed to present a design vision to senior decision-makers. Understanding how design choices shape engineering limits and product results is also expected.

Requirements
- Substantial experience leading complex design work from concept to launch in large, fast-growing environments.
- Ability to set design strategy while handling several stakeholders at once.
- Proven history of coaching designers and raising output quality within high-performing teams.
