About the job
At AKQA, we embrace the creative fusion of art and science to envision a brighter future. Our Product Design Directors are responsible for shaping the interfaces, systems, and experiences that dictate how brands engage in the contemporary landscape, spanning mobile, spatial, voice, wearables, and AI-enhanced environments.
In the role of Product Design Director, you will spearhead the design of innovative products and brand experiences for some of the globe's most prestigious organizations, from luxury ecosystems and cultural hubs to cutting-edge mobility and wellness systems. You will lead cross-functional teams to develop sophisticated, human-centered design solutions that are as insightful as they are aesthetically pleasing.
Your role will involve defining the design trajectory across a diverse portfolio of complex, impactful digital products, setting standards for accessibility, interaction, and multi-modal experiences. You will advocate for the next generation of brand user interfaces: adaptive design languages that seamlessly integrate brand identity with behavior, sound, motion, and intelligence.
AKQA Product Design Directors function at the confluence of brand, craftsmanship, and computation, collaborating closely with strategy, data, and engineering teams to create products that learn, adapt, and cultivate affection over time.
This leadership position is based in AKQA’s London studio, part of a globally interconnected network that is revolutionizing digital experiences for renowned brands like Nike, Rolls-Royce, Samsung, Airbnb, and Google. You will be at the leading edge of AI-driven product design, helping to redefine the harmony between creativity, intelligence, and empathy in every interaction.
