Lead Product Designer

“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” - George Bernard Shaw

Do you love food and convenience put together? Then you just might love foodpanda.

foodpanda (small ‘f’) is the world’s favourite way to order food online. With hundreds of restaurants ready to receive orders via our website and mobile app, no one should have to suffer from the lack of variety or long queues to enjoy great food.

However, this doesn’t happen without some really awesome people. We are looking for a Lead Product Designer (UI/UX) interested in joining the Product team to design our next generation of web applications. This is a unique opportunity for the right individual to not only contribute to the design effort, but also lead other designers as well!
