Lead Product Designer

key responsibilities include - Lead high-impact, ambiguous initiatives from idea to live product, working in the build loop with engineering. - Stay close to users, basing decisions on research, live product and data, and following up on what changed after launch. - Prototype in code and take the user interface through to live product. - Raise the bar with designers, product managers and engineers through pairing, critique and review of live product. - Evolve the design system as infrastructure for both people and AI agents, covering behaviour as well as components. - Encode how Epidemic Sound designs AI-driven products, including trust, control and evaluation, so others can apply it. ### Requirements - Exceptional design craft, with a high bar for usability, taste and coherence across the product. - Authority with patterns, with the ability to define how they are applied, adapted or replaced across the organisation. - Proven ability to synthesise research, analytics, market and business strategy into design direction with organisational impact. - Fluency in the build loop, with the ability to set the standard for how design and engineering collaborate in-product, without file handoff. - A track record of orchestrating AI rather than prompting it, knowing when its output is good enough and when not to generate at all. - It would also be music to our ears if you have experience holding the cross-team view across multiple design teams, and a track record of connecting design decisions to user outcomes, business metrics, growth targets, and long-term product strategy. **Equal opportunity employer** We believe that bringing people together from different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives makes for a healthy workplace, a more successful business and a better world. We value diversity and encourage everyone to come and soundtrack the world with us. **Application** Ready to make the world feel your work? Please apply, in English.
