👀 The Role

Title: Product Design Director

Team: Design

Location: Remote, UK

Experience quality is one of the clearest ways Midnite differentiates in a category that too often settles for functional and familiar. As a Product Design Director, you will ensure craft, quality and ambition remain central to how we build, as we scale. You will lead Product Design, shape company wide experience direction, and embed Design in the most important product decisions. This is a role with real influence, accountable for how Midnite feels across every surface and responsible for raising the bar as we grow.

You will:

• Lead and develop our Product Design team, line managing five designers and setting a clear standard for craft, judgement and ownership.

• Define and uphold the experience bar across all product surfaces, from customer facing native and web to back office platforms.

• Ensure coherence across squads and journeys so Midnite feels like one joined up system rather than a collection of features.

• Shape the long term experience direction and codify principles that guide teams toward a shared north star.

• Mature and drive adoption of our design systems to enable both speed and consistency at scale.

• Partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership on strategy, early problem framing and complex trade offs.

• Contribute hands on to Midnite’s most complex and high impact initiatives, elevating outcomes through strong visual and interaction design.

• Collaborate with Brand, Creative, Growth, CRM and Games to ensure the end to end customer experience is cohesive and well crafted.

• Explore and integrate emerging technologies, including AI, where they meaningfully improve how we design and build.

• Strengthen the structures and standards that allow experience quality to scale as the company grows
