Lead Product Designer in London

At XCEED, we connect people with unforgettable nightlife and live experiences. Our success is built on a foundation of great people and strong product execution. We are looking for a Lead Product Designer to take ownership of design execution across XCEED’s B2C app and B2B event management platform. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will continue to design and ship interfaces yourself while leading how product design decisions are made, executed, and scaled. You will work closely with Product, Business and Engineering to turn complex problems into clear, developer-ready solutions that move fast without sacrificing quality. You will be accountable not only for what gets designed, but for how design works day to day.

Please note: applications must include a portfolio or direct access to relevant design work (portfolio link or Figma files). Applications submitted without a portfolio will not be considered.

What You Will Do

• Design and ship high-quality UI across web and mobile for both B2C and B2B products.
• Own end-to-end design execution, from problem framing to final developer handoff.
• Lead design decisions on complex or high-impact product areas, especially within the B2B platform.
• Define and uphold the quality bar for UI, usability, and consistency across products.
• Evolve and actively use the Design Systems, ensuring new work strengthens the system instead of fragmenting it.
• Create clear, structured design documentation and specifications that reduce back-and-forth with engineering.
• Partner closely with Product, Business and Engineering to align on priorities, constraints, and tradeoffs.
• Balance speed and quality, knowing when to push polish and when to ship pragmatically.
• Act as a design reference point for stakeholders, explaining decisions clearly and constructively.

The Skills You Bring

• Proven experience as a Senior or Lead Product Designer, ideally in SaaS, marketplace, or startup environments.
• Strong experience designing both B2C and B2B or back-office interfaces.
• Advanced Figma proficiency, including components, variants, auto-layout, libraries, and prototyping.
• Demonstrated experience working with and evolving Design Systems in production.
• Strong visual design fundamentals: layout, typography, hierarchy, spacing, and color.
• Ability to deliver production-ready, developer-friendly designs, not speculative concepts.
• Solid product judgment and prioritization skills. You know how to make tradeoffs.
• Clear and confident communication with Product, Engineering, and founders.
• Comfortable receiving feedback and maintaining direction under pressure.
• Fluent in English, written and spoken. Other European languages are welcome!
