Lead Product Designer
As a Lead Product Designer at FanDuel, the individual serves as a trusted design leader responsible for raising design quality and driving meaningful customer impact across multiple teams or product areas. The role requires a combination of exceptional craft, strategic thinking, systems design, customer insight, and cross-functional leadership to solve complex customer and business problems.
While remaining hands-on, the Lead Product Designer elevates the work of others by improving ways of working, influencing product direction, strengthening design systems, and helping teams consistently deliver exceptional customer experiences. The role operates with a high degree of autonomy, navigating ambiguity to build alignment across disciplines and consistently elevating the quality of both products and the design organisation.
- Lead large, ambiguous product initiatives spanning multiple teams, customer journeys, and business priorities.
- Connect design decisions directly to measurable customer and business outcomes.
- Build trusted partnerships with Product, Engineering, Insights, and leadership to inform product direction and strategic decisions.
- Balance customer needs, business priorities, technical constraints, compliance, and delivery considerations.
- Guide product decisions through evidence-based design, leveraging research, analytics, and experimentation insight.
- Raise the quality bar across interaction design, visual design, accessibility, systems thinking, and execution of every project influenced.
- Drive consistency across experiences while knowing when innovation is appropriate.
- Champion accessible, inclusive, and user-centred design practices.
- Establish and continuously improve AI-assisted design workflows that increase quality, speed, and consistency across the design process.
- Ensure AI-assisted work remains grounded in customer insight, accessibility, design-system guidance, business context, engineering realities, and responsible human judgment.
- Coach and mentor designers through feedback, pairing, design critiques, and responsible AI practices, helping raise both individual capability and overall team quality.
- Extensive experience shaping and designing complex digital experiences in cross-functional environments (required).
- Strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional craft, product thinking, systems thinking, measurable customer impact, and design leadership (required).
- Deep expertise in user-centred design methodologies, information architecture, interaction design, visual design, accessibility, prototyping, design systems, and product strategy (required).
- Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and lead cross-functional initiatives without formal authority (required).
- Experience using qualitative research, quantitative data, and experimentation insight to shape product strategy and evaluate outcomes (required).
- Demonstrated ability to coach designers, raise design quality, and influence design practice beyond individual project work (required).
- Strong judgment in applying AI-assisted workflows and validating outputs across discovery, ideation, research synthesis, prototyping, documentation, and design execution (required).
- Working familiarity with front-end development concepts, particularly React Native, JavaScript or TypeScript, component-based UI, layout systems, and native mobile constraints (nice-to-have).
