Lead Product Designer – Strategic B2B SaaS | Complex Data Visualisation | Design Systems
Oxford – 3 days in office
Up to £100,000

Do you thrive in transforming complexity into clarity?

If you’ve led the design of B2B platforms where user journeys span complex menus, deep information layers, and analytical workflows, this could be your next career-defining move.

What’s On Offer

This isn’t your average Lead Product Designer role. You’ll be joining a business reshaping its platform — not just in how it looks, but how it works. The platform includes a powerful suite of data-heavy tools, including mapping interfaces, simulation engines, and workflow apps used across hundreds of regions. You’ll be at the heart of it all.

You’ll own the end-to-end experience, embedding research, design, and implementation into an agile product organisation with over 30 engineers. Initially a hands-on individual contributor, you’ll also be laying the strategic foundation for a design function set to scale, with headcount expected to grow under your leadership in year two.

This is an opportunity to:

Define how design integrates into product and engineering decisions

Deliver both quick feature improvements and long-term platform reorganisation

Engage with real users via an established research network and supportive product team

What You’ll Bring

Proven experience in B2B product design, ideally on data-intensive, analytical, or workflow-driven platforms

Comfortable designing charts, data tables, and multi-level interfaces

Strong research mindset — you’ve led interviews, usability studies, and translated insights into design decisions

UI maturity — your work is clean, structured, and professional (but not reliant on “visual flair”)

Strategic thinking, especially around scaling design functions and systems

Experience in maintaining or overhauling design systems is a strong advantage.

Ability to work onsite in Oxford 3 days a week

Why This Role

Design is increasingly core to this company’s roadmap. With competitors investing in delightful, intuitive UIs, there’s board-level appetite to make product design a first-class citizen — not just a service function. Reporting directly to the VP level, your impact will be seen, supported, and scaled.
