About the role
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.
Responsibilities
•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.
•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. Understand technical constraints and work together to find solutions that balance user value with feasibility.
•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.
•Avoid the "big reveal." Instead, 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.
•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.
•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.
Requirements
•6-8+ years in Product Design, with a strong portfolio of B2B products.
•Specific experience designing for LLM interfaces, chat experiences, and tools that facilitate complex data interpretation and visualization.
•Experience experimenting with AI prototyping tools (to rapidly visualize concepts) combined with a mastery of standard design tooling.
•Proven ability to solve highly ambiguous problems by quickly "whipping up" flows and concepts, focusing on commercial and product goals.
•Exceptional skill discussing in cross-functional teams (Engineering, Data, Sales) to align on solutions and validate concepts with customers and stakeholders.
Conditions
•A culture that supports true collaboration whilst embracing remote working with a company wide hybrid working week.
•An approach to personal development where individuals are encouraged 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: Mintel gives each employee 2 days per year to give to a worthwhile cause.
