    Design Director - London, United Kingdom - Futureheads Recruitment | B Corp™

    Default job background
    Description

    Job Description

    We're partnered with a global energy business currently hiring for a Design-Director to play a lead role in their electrification business. This is best described as a broad design leadership role, leading Service, Experience, and Digital Product Design.

    The business has clear net zero ambition, and their electrification/advanced mobility business has grown to over 1000 people on a mission to decarbonise mobility. Within the 1000 person business, they have built a team of supremely talented researchers, designers, product managers and engineers aligned to their shared mission.

    What will you be responsible for in this role?

    As a Design Principal you will be responsible for the management and leadership of a 20-25 person, broadly skilled design pursuing a range of goals and projects across the org. You will be a strong advocate for customer centricity with stakeholders, and establishing aligned ways of working across your team within this (e.g. Establishing research & Design methodologies).

    The work your team touches will be incredibly broad; ranging from the offline experience consumers/business have with products, right through to B2C and B2B digital products used by both individual customers and corporate clients – one key opportunity/area of focus will be on ensuring and driving consistency of experience and brand, and where relevant playing a key role in establishing a core design system.

    What experience will you need to be a great fit?

    First up you will be managing a team of 20 + designers in this role, so it's really important that you have led/inspired large teams previously – ideally in an 'in-house' environment. You should also consider yourself a broad design-leader – not specialising in a single design sub-discipline (e.g. Product Design or UX), but rather having a broad leadership and hands-on skill-set across many areas such as Service Design, UX, and Product Design – you'll have retained a hands-on ability in some of these areas, even though you won't be hands-on more than 10% of the time.

    You should also have a great track-record of building business wide relationships and advocating for / implementing customer/user-centric ways of working across organisations – bringing both design and non-design stakeholders on that journey with you to success. Your day-to-day peer level relationships will be Product and Engineering principals, whilst reporting directly into the Global Head of Design.
