Lead Product Designer - AI-Driven Learning Solutions

About the Role

We’re hiring a Lead Product Designer remote to join our mission-driven digital learning company. This is a high-impact role where you will shape the design vision and practice across multiple product areas in a fast-evolving, AI-enabled environment.

What You'll Do

• Define and own the overarching product design vision across multiple product areas.
• Align and coordinate design work across teams, ensuring consistency and quality.
• Partner closely with senior stakeholders, including Product leadership.
• Lead by example through hands-on design work, particularly in the early stages.
• Raise the overall design bar—improving craft, pace, and impact.
• Support teams to ship high-quality work quickly, leveraging modern, AI-driven workflows.
• Bring clarity to product and design direction, especially during a period of growth and change.
• Champion user-centric thinking, with a strong focus on measurable outcomes.

Requirements

• Proven experience in a Lead or Principal Product Design role, ideally in a scaling tech environment.
• Strong balance of strategic leadership and hands-on execution.
• Experience designing for learning, behaviour change, or outcome-driven products (EdTech or similar is highly desirable).
• Deep understanding of how design influences user engagement and real-world outcomes, not just interface quality.
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, iterative environments, including AI-supported workflows.
• Ability to move quickly from idea to validation, rather than relying on long, traditional design cycles.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience influencing at leadership level.

Nice to Have

• Experience in AI-driven design processes.
• Familiarity with modern design tools and methodologies.
• Background in educational technology or similar fields.

What We Offer

• Remote-first working style with flexibility to work from a London office 1–2 days per week if preferred.
• Collaborative, distributed team environment.
• High degree of autonomy and ownership.
• Opportunity to make a tangible impact within a defined, high-visibility contract.
• Join a purpose-led organisation focused on meaningful user outcomes.
• Play a key role in shaping product direction and design culture at scale.
• Work in an environment embracing AI as a creative and productivity partner.
