Design here means working at rare scale and complexity: one experience spanning many verticals, and customers whose day we can genuinely simplify. <br>We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to own design for a major area of the super app experience - the level where you’re no longer just executing within a team, but shaping the strategy your team executes. You’ll work with design leadership to set the design vision for your area, drive multiple workstreams in parallel, and be a force multiplier whose influence is felt well beyond your own remit. You’ll work AI-natively: using modern tools to move from intent to high-fidelity, testable design faster, while applying the judgment that decides what’s actually good.</p> <h4><strong>What You’ll Do:</strong></h4> <h4>Own the Problem, End to End</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Strategic Ownership:</strong> Own design for your feature area from concept to launch - defining, designing and iterating experiences that improve user outcomes and move commercial KPIs.</li> <li><strong>Cross-Functional Collaboration:</strong> Drive your product team toward clarity on what you’re building, why, and for whom; operate as a strategic peer to product and engineering leads, proactively identifying and resolving dependencies.</li> </ul> <h4>Craft at Senior Level</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Comprehensive Delivery:</strong> Ship work that is thorough and complete across all interaction details - states, edge cases, dark mode, localisation and RTL considered by default, not on request.</li> <li><strong>Systemic Design:</strong> Design holistically within existing systems: work fluently with our design system, know when to use it, extend it, or make the case for an exception.</li> <li><strong>Rapid Prototyping:</strong> Prototype fluently and quickly to get the right feedback at the right fidelity - including AI-assisted prototyping to compress the distance between idea and testable artefact.</li> <li><strong>Decision Articulation:</strong> Form and articulate design tenets, and use them to make and defend decisions.</li> </ul> <h4>Be Guided by Evidence</h4> <ul> <li><str
