Our Inventory Management teams help retailers manage stock, uncover revenue opportunities, and gain insights. You'll support your team's growth, drive execution, improve design processes, and collaborate with leadership on key initiatives.
Our designers are all about making the buying experience smoother, using design systems to keep things simple and scalable.

Turn complex business goals into clear, actionable design work—often spotting problems before they pop up. You'll apply strategic thinking to identify the right problems to tackle and the best ways to solve them, while exploring AI and new tech to keep our approach fresh and forward-thinking
Lead design strategies that are backed by real user insights—both from data and research. Working closely with product managers, you'll help define the right problems and make sure user needs are prioritised
Take the lead on evolving our design systems to stay relevant and easy to use. Whether you're building prototypes or helping others do the same, you'll make sure ideas are clearly communicated and grounded in best practices
Support your team's growth through mentoring and clear development paths, while building a positive, high-performing culture. You'll keep projects moving, manage team priorities, and put the right processes in place to help everyone do their best work together
What you need to bring:
We're looking for a candidate who has experience with the following:
Prior experience leading design teams, ideally within cross-functional environments
A strong understanding of how design, technology, and product development evolve and work together
Hands-on experience designing for B2B products, with a deep understanding of service design and efficient design processes
Comfortable designing across both digital and physical experiences
Excellent communicator who can clearly explain design decisions
