About The Job

As a Principal Product Designer at Nourish, you’ll advocate for our end users through high-impact design thinking, helping shape not just individual experiences but the broader product ecosystem. Working closely with Product, Engineering, UXR, and design peers, you’ll influence the direction of key initiatives, raise the quality bar across teams, and ensure our products are intuitive, accessible, and scalable. You’ll bring deep product design expertise, balanced with systems thinking, to create experiences that are not only usable and functional, but cohesive across the platform.

The Product Design team at Nourish values a strong blend of design thinking, research insight, information architecture, technical fluency, and product judgement. As a Principal, you’ll help connect these strengths across the team, bringing clarity to complex problems, shaping shared approaches, and ensuring the design system and product experiences evolve in a consistent, thoughtful way.

The Role & Your Responsibilities

You’ll join the Product Design team as a senior individual contributor who takes ownership of:

• Strategic Design Leadership: You’ll influence the design direction of major initiatives across multiple product areas, helping define the right problems to solve and the right level of solution for each. You’ll act as a trusted design partner to Product and Engineering, bringing clarity, challenge, and momentum to complex work.
• Cross-Product User Experience: You’ll shape experiences that work consistently across products and touchpoints, ensuring that user journeys are coherent, intuitive, and scalable. You’ll identify patterns, inconsistencies, and opportunities to improve the overall experience, not just individual screens or flows.
• User Research: You’ll partner closely with UXR to ensure research informs key decisions, and you may lead or support research activities where needed. You’ll help translate insights into practical design direction and use them to guide product strategy and prioritisation.
• Design and Prototyping: You’ll create wireframes, user flows, prototypes, and other design artefacts to communicate and validate concepts. You’ll work through discovery, definition, and iteration with Product and Engineering, ensuring solutions are feasible, valuable, and high quality.
• User Testing and Validation: You’ll help plan and interpret usability testing and other validation activities, using findings to refine designs and improve confidence in the direction. You’ll communicate insights clearly to both technical and commercial stakeholders.
• Collaboration and Communication: You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, UXR, and other designers to align on user needs, business goals, and product strategy. You’ll facilitate design discussions and workshops that build shared understanding and drive stronger decisions across squads.
• Design System Expertise: You’ll play a key role in shaping and evolving the design system, ensuring consistency, quality, and scalability across products. You’ll help establish patterns and principles that support both current needs and future growth, while championing accessibility and best practice.
• Documentation and Design Quality: You’ll document key decisions, principles, patterns, and design specifications to support continuity and clarity. You’ll help raise the standard of design quality across the team through thoughtful critique, guidance, and clear articulation of rationale.
