Contract Principal Product Designer 6 months initial | Outside IR35 Up to £550/day Fully remote A well-funded consumer subscription business is seeking a contract Principal Product Designer to lead design across its native app and wider product ecosystem.
The experience has grown quickly and in places unevenly, so the need is someone senior enough to bring structure to it without slowing delivery down. The team is highly capable and design maturity is still being built. As a Principal Product Designer, youd work closely with product and engineering leadership, owning the design direction end to end across iOS, Android and the surrounding web and SaaS surfaces - from information architecture and core flows through to the detail of what actually ships.
Theres genuine scope to define the design language, the system underneath it and the way design, product and engineering work together going forward. As a contract Principal Product Designer youll be competent in: Leading design end to end on native mobile, grounded in Apple HIG and Material, alongside web or SaaS product surfaces Setting information architecture and navigation across a fragmented product, and unifying it into something coherent and scalable Building or maturing a design system, plus the documentation and rituals that keep it alive after youve gone Tying design decisions to commercial outcomes such as conversion, activation and retention, and being able to evidence the impact Partnering with product and engineering leads on roadmap and sequencing, and pushing back where the plan doesnt hold Raising the craft bar around you through critique, coaching and hands-on direction rather than headcount Experience shaping design capability inside a scaling consumer business, where standards are still being written, is an excellent advantage.
