Description
We're looking for a Staff Product Designer to join our Ventures team in London. You'll be the senior design voice on an early-stage product, taking it from first concept to a test-market launch and shaping it for global scale.
About Ventures
Ventures is DoorDash's internal incubator, where we build the next generation of businesses adjacent to our core. We fund small teams with a strong sense of ownership and grow the investment as they hit clear milestones.
What You'll Be Doing
Direction & Influence
- Set the design direction for a new product, turning customer and business inputs into a clear point of view and roadmap, deciding what to build.
- Become an expert on local market needs, shaping the experience around how customers and partners behave in each place.
- Partner with product, engineering, operations and commercial leaders as a trusted advisor who shapes the roadmap.
- Build like a founder: shape success metrics, share weekly updates and present at key business reviews.
Craft & Delivery
- Build a differentiated experience that competes with the best in a crowded market where customer expectations are high.
- Design a scalable foundation for complex journeys such as payments, onboarding and matching supply with demand.
- Turn regulation into design, working with legal, finance and operations to make complex constraints feel simple.
- Raise the craft bar by mentoring designers, hosting critiques and building reusable systems and AI-assisted tools.
What You'll Need to Thrive
- 0-1 Ownership: Proven experience taking at least one product from 0-1, across a new product, market or startup.
- Craft Mastery: A portfolio of high-fidelity, shipped work that moved measurable outcomes.
- Product Thinking: You balance customer needs, business goals and feasibility, and frame ambiguous problems.
- Bias for Action: You'd rather ship and learn than polish in isolation.
- Systems and AI Fluency: You design reusable systems, prototype with AI and coach peers to do the same.
- Strategic Influence: You mentor designers and win over partners with differing priorities.
Why Join Us?
At Deliveroo, you'll do work that matters, solving real-world problems in a three-sided marketplace that's constantly evolving.
We offer:
- Competitive salary and equity options
- Flexible working and continuous learning
- Opportunities for growth and career development
