Full job descriptionHead of Product Design | Series B AI Startup


London (Old Street) | 5 days onsite | £120k (flexible for the right person + equity + benefits)


We’re working with a Series B AI and physical security startup building a cloud platform that combines video surveillance, access control, visitor management and emergency response into one system.


They’re looking for a Head of Product Design to own design across web and mobile, end to end. This is a rare opportunity to build a design function from the ground up - design system, processes, standards, and eventually a team while working closely with the CEO, Product and Engineering, with real influence over strategy and roadmap.


You’ll be:
*Owning web and mobile product design end to end
*Building the design function from scratch, including design system, process and standards
*Working on complex enterprise UX for security operators, IT and facilities teams
*Balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution: research, UX, UI, prototyping, Figma, dev handoff
*Partnering closely with the CEO and cross-functional leads on product direction


You’ll need:
*7+ years in product design, with 2+ years in design leadership
*A track record of shipping exceptional mobile and web products at scale
*Deep experience building and scaling design systems and component libraries
*A portfolio showing both strategic thinking and strong execution
*Comfort operating at executive level, with a high sense of urgency
*Startup experience, and to be making a lateral move into this kind of role (not stepping up for the first time)


*Rates depend on experience and client requirements
