What you'll be doing
The Role
We are looking for a Lead Product Designer with deep e-commerce experience and a strong product mindset. This role sits at the heart of cross-functional squads, working closely with Product Owners, Product Managers and Engineers to continuously optimise and evolve digital commerce experiences.
This is not about big redesigns that sit in a deck. It is about iterative delivery, experimentation and shipping value week by week. You will combine strong hands-on craft with leadership, guiding design direction while staying close to the work.
As a new role within the team, you will also play an important part in shaping and strengthening Tangity’s e-commerce design capability. Alongside project delivery, you will help define our approach to commerce experience design, establishing best practices, reusable frameworks and clear standards for how we design, test and optimise digital commerce journeys. This includes helping articulate our point of view for clients, contributing to go-to-market propositions, and embedding consistent design principles across the design team.
In the early phase of the role, there will be a focus on building these foundations while supporting client engagements. Over time, the role will evolve into a key voice for commerce design within the studio, helping ensure our work delivers both meaningful user experiences and measurable commercial impact.
