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.
This role is for a high-impact individual who is already embracing new ways of working. You will be "in the room" with clients and sales teams, sketching solutions in real-time, and partnering intimately with engineering to build solutions that shape entire industries.
Why This Role Matters
As a Senior Product Designer focused on our CPG Proposition & Roadmap, you will:
- Be the voice of the user: You will not just rely on second-hand reports; you will tag along with sales teams and lead client conversations to hear the Voice of Customer (VOC) directly.
- Solve for the business: You focus on User, Product and Commercial goals, using design to drive outcomes rather than just aesthetic output.
- Thrive in ambiguity: You excel at taking loose, complex requirements and whipping up early-stage flows and prototypes.
- Facilitate alignment: You encourage exploration by visualizing multiple options, helping cross-functional teams debate trade-offs and agree on the best path forward.
- Connect the dots: You work across the business—bridging the gap between the "what" (Product), the "how" (Engineering/Data), and the "why" (Commercial).
What You’ll Be Doing
Help Drive Strategic Definition
- 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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Facilitate Cross-Functional Collaboration
- 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. You understand technical constraints and work together to find solutions that balance user value with feasibility.
Consider Commercial Impact
- 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.
Validate & Socialise
- Avoid the "big reveal." Instead, you will constantly validate concepts with customers and senior stakeholders, socializing 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.
Cultivate Design Excellence
- 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.
Embed Data & AI Innovation
- 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.

What We’re Looking For
Essential:
- Experience & Mastery: 6-8+ years in Product Design, with a strong portfolio of B2B products.
- AI & Data Expertise: Specific experience designing for LLM interfaces, chat experiences, and tools that facilitate complex data interpretation and visualization.
- Modern Workflow: Experience experimenting with AI prototyping tools (to rapidly visualize concepts) combined with a mastery of standard design tooling.
- Ambiguity & Execution: Proven ability to solve highly ambiguous problems by quickly "whipping up" flows and concepts, focusing on commercial and product goals.
- Collaboration & Validation: Exceptional skill discussing in cross-functional teams (Engineering, Data, Sales) to align on solutions and validate concepts with customers and stakeholders.
What you'll get in return:
- A culture that supports true collaboration whilst embracing remote working with a company wide hybrid working week.
- Approach to personal development where we encourage individuals 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 with this in mind Mintel gives each employee 2 days per year to give to a worthwhile cause.
