Staff Product Designer (Retail)

About the role

Deliveroo, now part of DoorDash, is looking for a Staff Product Designer to join its Retail team in London. This is a hybrid role focused on shaping the strategic vision for retail delivery, building brand-new shopping experiences and unlocking emerging categories to scale the marketplace. Retail is described as a fast-growing, greenfield area beyond core restaurant and grocery delivery.

Key responsibilities

• Lead strategic design sprints to define the foundation and execution plan for the 2027 product vision, including how different retail categories and shopping formats feel.
• Act as a trusted advisor to Product, Engineering and Business leaders, co-owning the product roadmap and deciding what to build and why.
• Raise the design craft bar by guiding team members, hosting critique sessions and fostering a culture of high quality and detail.
• Identify and resolve platform-wide system challenges such as accessibility, performance and UI consistency at scale.
• Drive studio-wide initiatives on design culture, recruitment practices and the integration of AI into design workflows.

Required profile

• Demonstrated end-to-end design leadership, owning complex, ambiguous product initiatives from greenfield ideas to launch in fast-paced tech environments.
• Proven ability to act as a strategic partner to senior leadership and navigate competing priorities.
• Experience coaching and mentoring designers to grow their craft and autonomy.
• Ability to explain design rationale clearly to cross-functional stakeholders, from engineering leads to executives.

Required skills

• Strong understanding of how design decisions interact with code, systems architecture and engineering constraints.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and equity options.
• A low-hierarchy, high-ownership environment with flexible working and continuous learning.
