At AKQA (part of WPP), we believe in the imaginative application of art and science to create beautiful ideas, products, and services.
With an entrepreneurial and collaborative approach, we design adaptive digital services and applications that capture the imagination, delivering impressive returns and meaningful impact for our clients.
Our Product Designers play essential roles in the strategy, design, and optimisation of beautiful ideas, products, and services. They bring intelligent thought and craft, developing and delivering projects from brief to end user.
As a Senior Product Designer in our integrated London product team, you will have the opportunity to take the lead on creating impact through imagining and informing the design of products, services, and platforms for globally renowned companies.

For this particular role, you must possess exceptional visual design craft skills balanced with a strong, fluent understanding of UX and digital product logic. You will lead multidisciplinary teams in regard to approach, deliverables, and the future development of the design system. You will sit in front of senior stakeholders and be trusted to deliver high-priority projects that create meaningful value at a rapid pace.

- Collaborate confidently and seamlessly with development teams to bring complex digital products and design systems to life, ensuring the ultimate quality of output from design to deployment.
- Confidently pitch, present, and rationalise original ideas, sketches, and prototypes to peers, business owners, and senior client stakeholders.
- Collaborate confidently with Experience Designers, Product Strategists, and Engineers to maintain a unified product vision.
- Own the setup, operationalisation, and scaling of enterprise design systems
