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 base
