Staff Product Designer (Ventures)

About the role

Deliveroo, now part of DoorDash, is looking for a Staff Product Designer to join its Ventures team in London. Ventures is DoorDash's internal incubator that funds small teams to build businesses adjacent to its core, starting with a Minimum Lovable Product and proving product-market fit in a single country before scaling. You will 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.

Key responsibilities

• Set the design direction for a new product, turning customer and business input into a clear point of view and roadmap
• Become an expert on local market needs and shape 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
• Shape success metrics, share weekly updates and present at key business reviews
• Build a differentiated experience in a crowded market with high customer expectations
• 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
• Mentor designers, host critiques and build reusable systems and AI-assisted tools

Required profile

• Proven experience taking at least one product from 0-1, across a new product, market or startup
• A portfolio of high-fidelity, shipped work that moved measurable outcomes
• Ability to balance customer needs, business goals and feasibility, and to frame ambiguous problems

• Ability to mentor designers and influence partners with differing priorities

Required skills

• Designing reusable systems and prototyping with AI
• Coaching peers to use AI in their work
