Job details:
As a Senior Product Designer, you are a high-impact individual contributor who owns end-to-end design delivery across complex product journeys within global client pods (US/UK/India). You operate at the intersection of UX craft, systems thinking, and delivery excellence, translating ambiguous problem spaces into scalable, high-quality design solutions. You are expected to independently lead workstreams, contribute to business outcomes, and actively elevate team capability.
Key Responsibilities
- Product & Experience Design
- Own end-to-end design for features / journeys across discovery → definition → delivery
- Translate business and user needs into clear problem statements, flows, and interaction models
- Deliver high-quality UX and UI aligned to design systems and accessibility standards
- Contribute to experience strategy and solutioning in collaboration with XD, Product, and Engineering
- Delivery Excellence (Client / Pod Model)
- Work within global pods (US/UK/India) to deliver against timelines and quality expectations
- Ensure design readiness for development (handoff clarity, edge cases, states, documentation)
- Actively participate in design critiques, sprint rituals, and client reviews
- Maintain high utilization / chargeability (aligned to 80–85% targets)
- Craft & Systems Thinking
- Apply and extend design systems (tokens, components, patterns) effectively
- Ensure consistency, scalability, and reusability across solutions
- Demonstrate strong interaction design, visual hierarchy, and usability principles
- Leverage data, heuristics, and user insights to inform decisions
- Stakeholder Collaboration
- Collaborate effectively with Product, Tech, Strategy (XS), and Visual Design (VD)
- Communicate design decisions with clarity and rationale (not just outputs)
- Participate in client conversations with confidence, focusing on outcomes over outputs
- Capability Building & Culture
- Contribute to team learning through critiques, knowledge sharing, and mentoring juniors (DCF 25/30)
- Actively participate in XD practice initiatives (XEN / XEN+)
- Demonstrate ownership, accountability, and a growth mindset
- AI & Future-Ready Design
- Leverage AI tools (e.g., Figma AI, generative tools, prototyping accelerators) to improve speed and exploration
- Focus on problem framing, direction setting, and evaluation of solutions while using AI for execution efficiency
Ideal Candidate
- Strong Senior Product Designer Profile — Global Delivery
- Mandatory (Experience) — Must have 7+ years of experience in Product Design — with a clear track record of owning end-to-end design delivery across complex digital products, moving beyond feature execution into problem framing and experience strategy.
- Mandatory (Skill 1 — UX Craft): Must have strong UX fundamentals — IA, interaction design, usability, and journey mapping — with the ability to structure ambiguous problem spaces into clear flows, models, and design decisions before moving to visual output.
- Mandatory (Skill 2 — Visual Design): Must have solid visual design sensibility — layout, typography, spacing, and hierarchy — producing UI that is clean, system-aligned, and accessible rather than decorative or brand-led.
- Mandatory (Skill 3 — Design Systems): Must have hands-on experience working within design systems — applying tokens, components, and patterns — and delivering dev-ready handoffs with documented states, edge cases, and responsive behaviour.
- Mandatory (Skill 4 — AI & Tooling): Must have advanced Figma proficiency and active use of AI-assisted design tools (Figma AI, generative prototyping, or equivalent) — using AI to accelerate execution while retaining ownership of problem framing and design direction.
- Mandatory (Client Handling): Must have demonstrated ability to operate within global distributed pod models (US/UK/India or equivalent) — meeting timeline and quality expectations with minimal supervision across client-facing delivery environments.
- Mandatory (Leadership): Must show a growth trajectory from feature ownership toward problem space ownership — with evidence of mentoring juniors, driving design critique culture, and influencing solution direction beyond their immediate workstream
- Mandatory (Stakeholder Mgmt): Must have strong cross-functional collaboration skills — partnering with Product, Engineering, and Strategy — and communicating design decisions with clear rationale to both internal teams and client stakeholders
- Mandatory (Portfolio): Must have a portfolio showing end-to-end UX process — problem framing, flows, interaction decisions, system-aligned UI, and outcome framing — across complex digital product contexts
- Mandatory (Exclusion - No Poach): Candidate must NOT be from the following companies - Publicis Groupe and all subsidiaries (Publicis Worldwide, Leo Burnett, Saatchi & Saatchi, BBH, MullenLowe, Digitas, Razorfish, Publicis Sapient, Starcom, Zenith, Spark Foundry, Performics, Epsilon, CitrusAd, Profitero, Publicis Health, Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness, Digitas Health, Publicis India, Publicis Sapient India, Leo Burnett India, Saatchi & Saatchi India, Digitas India, Starcom India, Zenith India) and YUJ Designs
