Product Design Associate Manager in London

Accenture Song is the creative, design, and tech-powered heart of Accenture — a collective born from over 40 world-renowned studios and agencies. We marry world-class creativity with deep technology, harnessing insight, imagination and innovation to shape the future of brands, businesses and customer experiences.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re on the lookout for a top‑of‑their‑game Product Designer who doesn’t just fit into the team, but genuinely raises the bar. You’ll be a hands-on craft specialist and a strategic design thinker who elevates the work around you, managing teams and clients alike. We’re looking for designers who are strong on creative/UI craft, not purely UX or research‑led. Strong experience in digital product design and participation in the full product design lifecycle. You’re already operating at a high level and are ready to contribute immediately, rather than still developing core creative skills.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Design Craft & Creativity
• Strong UI craft and visual polish, including fluency in Figma and Adobe CC – this is really important to us
• Confidence in creative decision‑making, with clear reasoning behind:
• Typography choices
• Colour palettes
• Icons, illustrations and graphical elements
• Ability to show beautiful, well‑considered prototypes and polished outputs
• Experience with motion design or animation is a big plus
• A clear sense of art direction and brand‑led thinking, not just following existing styles
• Understanding of AI and emerging technology.
• Strong understanding of accessibility and inclusive design.
• Expertise in design system creation, maintenance and management.
• Clear Thinking & Storytelling
• Able to confidently talk through your design thinking from start to finish
• Presentations that clearly explain:
• Why design decisions were made
• What impact the work had (outcomes, not just outputs)
• Comfortable owning the creative work and clearly distinguishing your ideas vs existing design systems
• Mindset & Collaboration
• Passionate about design and continuously pushing for better quality.
• Confident sharing ideas and engaging in healthy critique.
• A team player who improves the overall standard of work around the studio.
• An entrepreneurial attitude and growth mindset to serve our teams and clients alike.
• Experience mentoring designers and shaping client relationships.
• Strong appreciation for all elements of Graphic Design, both in and outside of work. Passion for all things creative, taking inspiration from all walks of life.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead end-to-end product design.
• Drive and govern design systems.
• Translate insights into design strategies.
• Create high‑quality UX and UI artefacts.
• Collaborate across disciplines to deliver best‑in‑class solutions.
• Present confidently, educate and explain design rationale in client sessions.
• Support new business development efforts.
• Mentor and guide junior talent.

THINGS TO NOTE

• Some of our clients require background checks. You will need to complete a Baseline Personal Security Standard (BPSS) to confirm your identity, criminal record, right to work and residency.
• Comfortable with hybrid working. Every project is different, but we love our team to be in the studio and in our client’s office to work collaboratively.
• We are building a team that represents the diversity of our society and we are looking for people who will be a cultural add, not a cultural fit.
• Accenture Song is an equal opportunity employer, which means we do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, marital status, age, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic information, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for everyone who works at Accenture Song.
