Senior Product Designer
About this role
The creative minds at AKQA apply artistry and craftsmanship to strategic insight, creating beautiful ideas, products and services that move the world. As a design and innovation company (part of WPP), we lead change from our Swedish studios with clients including Volvo Cars, Polestar, H&M, Netflix, Nike and Minecraft. We are growing our product design team, and we are looking for a Senior Product Designer of exceptional craft and product judgement — someone who designs products that are beautiful, useful and meaningful, and who is fluent in leveraging modern, AI-augmented workflows to accelerate how those products are built.
You will own product design end to end, from concept to delivery, for some of the world's most influential brands. You will work where the prototype is a primary medium, using modern tooling to test ideas fast and raise the quality bar. Whether designing tightly curated digital products or adaptive, AI-enabled experiences, you understand that when interface design risk becoming commoditized, the true differentiation lies in connecting exceptional strategic execution to exceptional taste — and that is the standard we hold.
Role requirements: Lead product design end to end — concept, interaction, UI, usability, accessibility — to the highest standard of craft. Set and hold the quality bar across typography, layout, motion, micro-interaction and visual systems. Connect design decisions to product strategy and business outcomes — shaping not only how a product looks and works, but what is worth building. Treat prototyping as a way to think, validate, and deliver — moving swiftly from concept to functional, high-fidelity prototypes (leveraging Figma, Code Connect, and modern AI/developer workflows like Cursor, Claude, or similar where they add speed and depth).
Build and evolve scalable design systems — crafting tokens, components, and semantic structures that bridge design and engineering effectively. Design for modern interaction paradigms — equally comfortable crafting classic, highly polished user interfaces as well as adaptive, generative, or AI-powered experiences. Translate research, behavioral data, and category insights into confident product direction and defensible rationales.
