Join Mintel and help shape the future of global consumer insights through world-class design. 

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our growing Global Product Development team — someone who is a master of their craft and thrives in the early stages of product definition. You will blend hands-on execution with design thinking, translating complex, ambiguous problems into intuitive experiences. 

This role is for a high-impact individual who is already embracing new ways of working. You will be "in the room" with clients and sales teams, sketching solutions in real-time, and partnering intimately with engineering to build solutions that shape entire industries. 

Why This Role Matters  

As a Senior Product Designer focused on our CPG Proposition & Roadmap, you will: 

• Be the voice of the user: You will not just rely on second-hand reports; you will tag along with sales teams and lead client conversations to hear the Voice of Customer (VOC) directly. 

• Solve for the business: You focus on User, Product and Commercial goals, using design to drive outcomes rather than just aesthetic output. 

• Thrive in ambiguity: You excel at taking loose, complex requirements and whipping up early-stage flows and prototypes. 

• Facilitate alignment: You encourage exploration by visualizing multiple options, helping cross-functional teams debate trade-offs and agree on the best path forward. 

• Connect the dots: You work across the business—bridging the gap between the "what" (Product), the "how" (Engineering/Data), and the "why" (Commercial). 

What You’ll Be Doing  

Help Drive Strategic Definition 

• Translate very early, often abstract concepts into tangible prototypes. Use these as tools to spark debate and socialize ideas across the business. 

• Harness AI to help you create prototypes, explore data, and form design hypotheses. 

• Develop a keen understanding of Mintel’s unique content and insights ecosystem, ensuring the user experience amplifies the value of our insights. 

Facilitate Cross-Functional Collaboration 

• Work with different teams (Engineering, Data, Product, Sales) to solve problems collectively. You will use design to frame the conversation and guide the group toward a solution. 

• Partner closely with Engineering to explore design options. You understand technical constraints and work together to find solutions that balance user value with feasibility. 

Consider Commercial Impact 

• Join the frontline: Shadow sales calls and facilitate client feedback sessions to deeply understand customer needs and pain points. 

• Ensure design decisions are anchored in commercial reality - focusing on how the experience drives adoption, retention, and value for the client. 

Validate & Socialise 

• Avoid the "big reveal." Instead, you will constantly validate concepts with customers and senior stakeholders, socialising your work early to ensure buy-in. 

• Produce multiple design approaches to solve a single problem, allowing the team to evaluate different routes based on data and strategy. 

Cultivate Design Excellence 

• Ability to use design systems when needed and to understand when something new may be needed. 

• Ability to use the right tools for the job, not necessarily the tool you are most used to. 

Embed Data & AI Innovation 

• Design for the future of intelligence: leverage your experience with AI and data to create conversational interfaces (e.g., chat experiences) that help users interpret complex data sets. 

• Simplify the complex: Turn dense data interpretation challenges into clear, digestible, and valuable user experiences. 

What We’re Looking For  

Essential:  

• Experience & Mastery: 6-8+ years in Product Design, with a strong portfolio of B2B products. 
• AI & Data Expertise: Specific experience designing for LLM interfaces, chat experiences, and tools that facilitate complex data interpretation and visualization. 
• Modern Workflow: Experience experimenting with AI prototyping tools (to rapidly visualize concepts) combined with a mastery of standard design tooling. 
• Ambiguity & Execution: Proven ability to solve highly ambiguous problems by quickly "whipping up" flows and concepts, focusing on commercial and product goals. 
• Collaboration & Validation: Exceptional skill discussing in cross-functional teams (Engineering, Data, Sales) to align on solutions and validate concepts with customers and stakeholders. 

What you'll get in return: 

• A culture that supports true collaboration whilst embracing remote working with a company wide hybrid working week.
• Approach to personal development where we encourage individuals to grow and share what they’ve learned.
• Social events, both within the department and across the company
• Generous holiday allowance with the opportunity to buy back additional holiday.
• A day off to celebrate your birthday
• Giving back is part of our culture with this in mind Mintel gives each employee 2 days per year to give to a worthwhile cause.
