Location: Farringdon, London

Who We Are

Our mission is to create closer connections by making moments real. With over 12 million active users across 13 countries we are Europe’s leading digital consumer service for personalised products and gifts. We bring magic to our customers’ photos, words and feelings by turning them into precious objects that make them smile, laugh and, sometimes, cry.

We’re in the business of ‘one-of-a-kind’ and so delighting each and every customer is central to everything we do.

We face all the traditional challenges and opportunities of a classic e-commerce provider, with the added complexity of the fact that all our products are printed on demand. This brings with it the need for a highly flexible, yet easy to use, creation capability to enable our users to personalize their purchases to their heart’s content.


What You’ll Be Doing

We strongly believe in the value of good design, and believe it is a primary differentiator in an increasingly crowded marketplace. So we’re on the lookout for a product designer to be part of a group of talented product designers to develop and improve our online shopping experience.

In this role, you’ll be part of a small team of customer-centric designers working across multiple products and services within a goal-driven group of our experience. You should have a strong Product Design process, from conceptual discovery through to hands-on design / experience delivery.

You’ll be expected to champion design and customer thinking and to apply your passion for craft, user experience, and design fidelity to guide and create innovative experiences. We strive to learn and understand our users’ needs, behaviours, and emotions to gather insights that inform product strategy and design.

You’ll also work closely with your peers in Product, Engineering and Data to strategically shape the teams and pillars goals, direction and activities to meet customer-driven needs. To do that, we’re looking for someone who is as curious about the impact of their work as they are passionate about creating it.
