Financial Times, London
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Product Designer to join our Design Systems team, based at Bracken House in London.
You’ll play a key role in shaping and evolving Origami, the FT’s design system, helping teams across the business create coherent, accessible and high-quality digital experiences.
Working closely with designers, engineers and product managers, you’ll develop shared foundations, components and guidance that make it easier for teams to design and build products that feel distinctly FT.
The role spans web and mobile, requiring thoughtful decisions about where shared patterns create consistency and where platform-specific approaches deliver better experiences.
You’ll also explore how AI can support the future of design systems. From accelerating component development and documentation to helping teams prototype and build using Origami, you’ll test emerging approaches and identify opportunities to improve how we work.
Combining strong design craft with hands-on technical skills, you’ll help ensure Origami remains dependable, accessible and relevant as our products and technologies evolve.
What's in it for You?
Our benefits vary by location but we are committed to providing best-in-class perks across all our offices. These include generous annual leave, medical cover, inclusive parental leave packages, subsidised gym memberships and opportunities to give back to the community. Full details of our benefits are available here.
We currently operate a hybrid model which requires staff to work onsite 50% of the time, subject to role requirements & regular review. While flexible working requests will be considered, not all patterns are suitable for all roles. We believe this balanced approach supports flexibility and protects our culture, making collaboration and communication easier, building stronger relationships and team cohesion, and supporting peer learning. We reserve discretion on reasonable notice to change this approach either generally or for specific individuals or teams.
