Job description

Deliveroo is now part of DoorDash, bringing together teams with even greater reach, scale, and ambition. Depending on your role, you may collaborate with teammates, systems, and leaders across DoorDash and Wolt. Together, we’re unlocking new possibilities as one global team.

Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation and growth drive everything we do. Our Product team defines how millions of people experience Deliveroo, turning complex marketplace challenges into simple, high-impact solutions. Working at the intersection of data, design and engineering, we set direction, prioritise what matters most, and deliver outcomes that move the business forward.

We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer to join our Ventures team inLondon. You’ll be the senior design voice on an early-stage product, taking it from first concept to a test-market launch and shaping it for global scale.

About Ventures

Ventures is DoorDash’s internal incubator, where we build the next generation of businesses adjacent to our core. We fund small teams with a strong sense of ownership and grow the investment as they hit clear milestones. Early on, teams build a Minimum Lovable Product and prove product-market fit in a single country. Successful initiatives graduate to new resources and new markets, with the chance to become the next billion-euro businesses at DoorDash. Ventures teams are scrappy and ambitious, chase goals that almost feel too ambitious, and thrive on a startup mentality and a high tolerance for ambiguity. We’re now placing bigger and more diverse bets than ever, and we need people with equal ambition and drive to build and scale, or sunset, some of our biggest experiments yet.

What You’ll Be Doing

Direction & Influence

• Set the design direction for a new product, turning customer and business inputs into a clear point of view and roadmap, deciding what to build.
• Become an expert on local market needs, shaping the experience around how customers and partners behave in each place.
• Partner with product, engineering, operations and commercial leaders as a trusted advisor who shapes the roadmap.
• Build like a founder: shape success metrics, share weekly updates and present at key business reviews.

Craft & Delivery

• Build a differentiated experience that competes with the best in a crowded market where customer expectations are high.
• Design a scalable foundation for complex journeys such as payments, onboarding and matching supply with demand.
• Turn regulation into design, working with legal, finance and operations to make complex constraints feel simple.
• Raise the craft bar by mentoring designers, hosting critiques and building reusable systems and AI-assisted tools.

What You’ll Need to Thrive

• 0-1 Ownership: Proven experience taking at least one product from 0-1, across a new product, market or startup.
• Craft Mastery: A portfolio of high-fidelity, shipped work that moved measurable outcomes.
• Product Thinking: You balance customer needs, business goals and feasibility, and frame ambiguous problems.
• Bias for Action: You’d rather ship and learn than polish in isolation.
• Systems and AI Fluency: You design reusable systems, prototype with AI and coach peers to do the same.
• Strategic Influence: You mentor designers and win over partners with differing priorities.
