About the Company:
We are partnering with one of the fastest-growing global consumer technology companies, whose products are used by millions of consumers worldwide. The company’s product ecosystem sits at the intersection of industrial design, connected hardware, software platforms, mobile applications, and intelligent consumer experiences. Its success is built on a unique combination of human-centred design, emotional product experiences, engineering excellence, and consumer insight.

The company’s design language is defined by:
- Human-centred design
- Premium consumer hardware execution
- Soft and approachable aesthetics

Products are designed not only as standalone devices, but as part of a broader connected ecosystem that creates meaningful experiences across both physical and digital touchpoints.

The Opportunity:
Reporting directly to the Founder & CEO, you will define the future design language and industrial design vision across the company’s global portfolio. You will lead a team of approximately 50-60 Industrial Designers within a Global Industrial Design Centre of Excellence, influencing how physical products interact with software platforms, connected services, and future intelligent experiences. This is a rare opportunity to shape an entire ecosystem rather than individual products.

Key Responsibilities:
- Define and evolve the company’s global industrial design strategy
- Establish future-facing design languages and design systems
- Drive innovation across connected hardware and digital ecosystems
- Partner closely with Product, UX, Software Engineering, and Brand teams
- Create cohesive experiences across physical and digital touchpoints
- Lead industrial design strategy across multiple product categories
- Develop and mentor a world-class design organisation
- Drive design excellence from concept through commercialisation

Ideal Background:
We are seeking globally experienced design leaders from sectors such as:
- Consumer Electronics
- Smart Home Products
- Connected Devices
- Wearables
- Digital Health Products
- Consumer Hardware
- Premium Lifestyle Products

We are particularly interested in industrial design leaders from companies such as Apple, Dyson, Google Hardware, Nest, Sonos, Bose, Philips, Garmin, DJI, Samsung, Logitech, and similar consumer electronics organisations.

What Success Looks Like:
You have built iconic consumer products and understand how great industrial design, software experiences, and ecosystem thinking come together to create category-defining products.
