Our Global Structure
Deliveroo is now part of DoorDash, bringing together teams with even greater reach, scale, and ambition. Depending on your role, you may collaborate with teammates, systems, and leaders across DoorDash and Wolt. Together, we're unlocking new possibilities as one global team.
Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation and growth drive everything we do. Our Product team defines how millions of people experience Deliveroo, turning complex marketplace challenges into simple, high-impact solutions. Working at the intersection of data, design and engineering, we set direction, prioritise what matters most, and deliver outcomes that move the business forward.
We're looking for a Principal Product Designer to join our Ventures team in London. You'll be the senior design voice on an early-stage product, taking it from first concept to a test-market launch and shaping it for global scale.
About Ventures
Ventures is DoorDash's internal incubator, where we build the next generation of businesses adjacent to our core. We fund small teams with a strong sense of ownership and grow the investment as they hit clear milestones. Early on, teams build a Minimum Lovable Product and prove product-market fit in a single country. Successful initiatives graduate to new resources and new markets, with the chance to become the next billion-euro businesses at DoorDash. Ventures teams are scrappy and ambitious, chase goals that almost feel too ambitious, and thrive on a startup mentality and a high tolerance for ambiguity. We're now placing bigger and more diverse bets than ever, and we need people with equal ambition and drive to build and scale, or sunset, some of our biggest experiments yet.
What You'll Be Doing
Vision & Influence
- Define the design vision and strategy across several Ventures products, deciding what to build at product-area level and sequencing work across teams.
- Become an expert on local market dynamics, ensuring each product is shaped by how people behave in each place.
- Partner with product-area leadership as a trusted advisor, shaping roadmaps and priorities.
- Build like a founder: set success metrics, share weekly updates, present at key business reviews and partner with your cross-functional team leads to build the case for further investment.
Craft & Leadership
- Deliver differentiated, step-change improvements to customer journeys in crowded markets.
- Design scalable foundations across complex journeys, and turn regulatory constraints into simple experiences with legal, finance and operations.
- Build systems, prototyping frameworks and AI-enhanced workflows, setting the standards that drive adoption.
- Establish critiques and planning practices, mentor senior designers and emerging leaders, and hire senior designers and first-line managers.
What You'll Need to Thrive
- Product-Area Leadership: Proven experience leading design initiatives across multiple products, including taking more than one from 0-1.
- Product Judgement: A track record of spotting opportunities that improve long-term outcomes, backed by exceptional craft.
- Strategic Influence: Credibility with senior leaders and the ability to connect customer research, business goals and feasibility into one strategy.
- Developing Leaders: A history of coaching designers and managers and recruiting talent that wants to join you.
- Systems and AI Fluency: Experience building tools and standards that scale across teams.
- Bias for Action: Comfort with ambiguity in a fast-moving, startup-style environment.
