We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to shape the future of design systems, design tooling, and design operations at Moonpig and Greetz. You’ll lead the continued development of Launchpad, our multi-brand design system powering products across Moonpig and Greetz, while also driving innovation in AI-assisted design, design engineering, and process improvement across the wider design organisation.

This is a hands‑on, craft‑led systems role - part designer, part design engineer, and part systems advocate. You’ll work closely with engineers and design leadership to evolve our shared design foundations, improve team efficiency, and raise the overall bar for design quality, speed, and collaboration.

• Lead and evolve Launchpad - Moonpig Group’s token‑based design system, ensuring it supports multiple brands and platforms with flexibility, scalability, and quality.
• Drive improvements in Design Ops, refining tools, workflows, and collaboration to help our design team work more efficiently.
• Partner with engineers to deliver robust, reusable components and improve the design‑to‑development handoff process.
• Champion AI design tooling (like v0 and Cursor) to enhance creativity, speed, and cross‑functional collaboration.
• Build and maintain Figma templates, plug‑ins, and documentation to ensure design consistency across teams.
• Collaborate with product designers to evolve system components based on real user feedback and product needs.
• Advocate for the system and its impact - sharing updates, leading workshops, and supporting team adoption.
• Shape and maintain the design system roadmap alongside engineering partners, balancing immediate priorities with long‑term evolution.

• Deep experience in designing and maintaining large‑scale, token‑based design systems.
• Confident working at the intersection of design and engineering, with a strong understanding of front‑end technologies (React, TypeScript, Storybook, Zeroheight).
• A highly skilled visual and interaction designer with excellent attention to detail and craft.
• Curious and forward thinking - passionate about how AI and automation can improve design outcomes.
• A natural collaborator and communicator who thrives in multidisciplinary teams.
• Proactive and organised - comfortable creating focus and momentum in ambiguous spaces.

• Figma, Storybook, and Zeroheight for system collaboration and documentation.
• AI‑enhanced tooling (v0, Cursor) to accelerate design and delivery.
• Cross‑platform, multi‑brand products serving Moonpig and Greetz.

• Strong partnerships between Design, Product, and Engineering.
• Dedicated roadmap for design systems and tooling evolution.
• Continuous experimentation with new technologies and workflows to improve craft and speed.

• Stage 1: 30‑minute call with the Hiring Manager - to understand motivations, skills, and role fit.
• Stage 2: 60‑minute case study interview - you’ll present a project you’re proud of (20‑minute presentation + Q&A).
• Stage 3: 60‑minute whiteboard activity
• Stage 4: 60‑minute workshop with the Design Team - a collaborative culture‑fit session where you’ll run a 30‑minute workshop on a specific topic.
