Senior Product Designer

Join Mintel and help shape the future of global consumer insights through world-class design.  

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our growing Global Product Development team — someone who is a master of their craft and thrives in the early stages of product definition. You will blend hands-on execution with design thinking, translating complex, ambiguous problems into intuitive experiences.  

This role is for a high-impact individual who is already embracing new ways of working. You will be "in the room" with clients and sales teams, sketching solutions in real-time, and partnering intimately with engineering to build solutions that shape entire industries.  

Why This Role Matters    

As a Senior Product Designer focused on our CPG Proposition & Roadmap, you will:  

• Be the voice of the user:  You will not just rely on second-hand reports; you will tag along with sales teams and lead client conversations to hear the Voice of Customer (VOC) directly.  

• Solve for the business:  You focus on User, Product and Commercial goals, using design to drive outcomes rather than just aesthetic output.  

• Thrive in ambiguity:  You excel at taking loose, complex requirements and whipping up early-stage flows and prototypes.  

• Facilitate alignment:  You encourage exploration by visualizing multiple options, helping cross-functional teams debate trade-offs and agree on the best path forward.  

• Connect the dots:  You work across the business—bridging the gap between the "what" (Product), the "how" (Engineering/Data), and the "why" (Commercial).  

 

What You’ll Be Doing    

Help Drive Strategic Definition  

• Translate very early, often abstract concepts into tangible prototypes. Use these as tools to spark debate and socialize ideas across the business.  

• Harness AI to help you create prototypes, explore data, and form design hypotheses.  

• Develop a keen understanding of Mintel’s unique content and insights ecosystem, ensuring the user experience amplifies the value of our insights.  

Facilitate Cross-Functional Collaboration  

• Work with different teams (Engineering, Data, Product, Sales) to solve problems collectively. You will use design to frame the conversation and guide the group toward a solution.  

• Partner closely with Engineering to explore design options. You understand technical constraints and work together to find solutions that balance user value with feasibility.  

Consider Commercial Impact  

• Join the frontline: Shadow sales calls and facilitate client feedback sessions to deeply understand customer needs and pain points.  

• Ensure design decisions are anchored in commercial reality - focusing on how the experience drives adoption, retention, and value for the client.  

Validate & Socialise  

• Avoid the "big reveal." Instead, you will constantly validate concepts with customers and senior stakeholders, socialising your work early to ensure buy-in.  

• Produce multiple design approaches to solve a single problem, allowing the team to evaluate different routes based on data and strategy.  

Cultivate Design Excellence  

• Ability to use design systems when needed and to understand when something new may be needed.  

• Ability to use the right tools for the job, not necessarily the tool you are most used to.  

Embed Data & AI Innovation  

• Design for the future of intelligence: leverage your experience with AI and data to create conversational interfaces (e.g., chat experiences) that help users interpret complex data sets.  

• Simplify the complex: Turn dense data interpretation challenges into clear, digestible, and valuable user experiences.  

What We’re Looking For    

Essential:    

• Experience & Mastery:  6-8+ years in Product Design, with a strong portfolio of  B2B products .  

• AI & Data Expertise:  Specific experience designing for  LLM interfaces , chat experiences, and tools that facilitate complex data interpretation and visualization.  

• Modern Workflow:  Experience experimenting with  AI prototyping tools  (to rapidly visualize concepts) combined with a mastery of standard design tooling.  

• Ambiguity & Execution:  Proven ability to solve  highly ambiguous problems  by quickly "whipping up" flows and concepts, focusing on commercial and product goals.  

• Collaboration & Validation:  Exceptional skill  discussing in cross-functional teams (Engineering, Data, Sales) to align on solutions and  validate concepts with customers and stakeholders.  

What you'll get in return: 

• A culture that supports true collaboration whilst embracing remote working with a company wide hybrid working week.

• Approach to personal development where we encourage individuals to grow and share what they’ve learned.

• Social events, both within the department and across the company

• Generous holiday allowance with the opportunity to buy back additional holiday.

• A day off to celebrate your birthday

• Giving back is part of our culture with this in mind Mintel gives each employee 2 days per year to give to a worthwhile cause.
