Deliveroo is now part of DoorDash, bringing together teams with even greater reach, scale, and ambition. Depending on your role, you may collaborate with teammates, systems, and leaders across DoorDash and Wolt. Together, we’re unlocking new possibilities as one global team.

Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation and growth drive everything we do.

We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer (Retail) to join our London team. This is a hybrid role. In this role, you’ll help us shape the strategic vision for retail delivery, building brand-new shopping experiences and unlocking emerging categories to scale our marketplace.

Strategic Direction & Product Vision:

• Lead strategic design sprints to establish the foundation and execution plan for our 2027 product vision, defining how distinct retail categories and shopping formats feel.

• Partner autonomously with Product, Engineering, and Business leaders as a trusted advisor to co-own the product roadmap and decide what we build and why.

Craft & Quality:

• Raise the design craft bar across the team by guiding team members, hosting critique sessions, and fostering a culture of high quality and detail.

• Spot and resolve platform-wide systems challenges—such as accessibility, performance, and UI consistency—at scale across the ecosystem.

Culture & Leadership:

• Drive studio-wide initiatives that shape overall design culture, recruitment practices, and the integration of AI into design workflows.

What You’ll Need to Thrive:

• End-to-End Design Leadership: Demonstrated ownership of complex, ambiguous product initiatives from greenfield ideas to launch within fast-paced tech environments.

• Strategic Influence: Proven ability to act as a strategic partner to senior leadership, shaping business strategy and navigating competing priorities.

• Developing Talent: Demonstrated experience coaching and mentoring designers to level up their craft while supporting autonomous growth.

• Clear Communication: Proven ability to articulate design rationale clearly to cross-functional stakeholders, from engineering leads to executive directors.

• Technical Systems Fluency: Strong understanding of how design decisions interact with code, systems architecture, and engineering constraints.
