Senior Staff Product Designer

About the team

The Experience Team defines how our customers, riders, restaurants, and employees interact with Deliveroo's products and services end-to-end.

Based throughout London and the greater UK, our diverse team has global impact. We cook up accessible, localised, and inclusive products for customers in Singapore, riders in France, grocery chains in Qatar, restaurant kitchens in Dubai—and beyond. Our user-focus guides us as we build the definitive online food company together.

Deliveroo Ads will be the on-demand media channel of choice to connect Partners (Restaurants & Grocers) and FMCG brands to our marketplace users. We use our data science and design capabilities to ensure that ads are relevant, do not unduly degrade the consumer experience, and enhance the long-term value of our consumer cohorts. Data and Design are the currency for many businesses to improve marketing efforts, deliver personalised content, promote supply chain efficiency and accelerate business growth. We want to give our partners the ability to use our audience and data to grow their brand and drive sales. There is a lot to build within this team and we believe this will be a necessary driver for our ads business and our profitability.

Why Deliveroo

Our mission is to be the definitive food company. We are transforming the way the world eats by making food more convenient and accessible. We give people the opportunity to eat what they want, as they want it, when and where they want it.

We are a technology-driven company at the forefront of the most rapidly expanding industry in the world. We are still a small team, making a very large impact, looking to answer some of the most interesting questions out there. We move fast, value autonomy and ownership, and we are always looking for new ideas.

Workplace & Diversity

At Deliveroo we know that people are the heart of the business and we prioritise their welfare. We offer a wide range of competitive benefits in areas including health, family, finance, community, convenience, growth, time away and relocation.

We believe a great workplace is one that represents the world we live in and how beautifully diverse it can be. That means we have no judgement when it comes to any one of the things that make you who you are - your gender, race, sexuality, religion or a secret aversion to coriander. All you need is a passion for (most) food and a desire to be part of one of the fastest growing startups in an incredibly exciting space.
