Lead Product Designer - Design Systems

Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption.

We have partnered with 1,500+ companies to deliver a new kind of learning that's transforming today’s workforce.

Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI, data, and tech skills. Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers, using the skills they’ve learned to improve productivity and measurable performance.

In June 2022, we announced a $220 million Series D funding round co-led by StepStone Group, Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. With a post-money valuation of $1.7bn, the round makes us the UK’s first EdTech unicorn.

But we aren’t stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. We’re building a world where tech skills unlock people’s potential and output.
Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a visionary ‘Product Designer - AI Creator’. A hybrid blend of product designer, AI-enabled prototyper, and design systems thinker. You’ll own and scale Stardust, our AI-native, brand-led design system, while also:

• Creating AI workflows that enable faster, smarter product creation.

• Bringing our brand refresh into product, marketing, and launch moments.

• Defining a motion language that makes our product feel alive and dynamic.

• Influencing interaction patterns and components to deliver a frictionless, accessible UX.

• Partnering with PMM to tell compelling product stories in video and motion.

This is a pioneering, first-of-its-kind multi-disciplinary role - you’ll be one of the first AI Creators at Multiverse. Agentic means design systems built for AI collaboration, so agents can generate, assemble, and refine UI using structured prompts and our in-house MCP AI brain, not just human input.

An ‘AI Creator’ is a role that uses AI agents to unlock full-stack product creation in a blended role. You’ll reimagine how traditional roles evolve in the AI era, sharing responsibility for product management, roadmaps, metrics, and stakeholder comms. You’ll work with AI tools that take care of repetitive tasks, freeing you to focus on creativity, craft, storytelling, and taste leadership. You’re not just designing components, you’re re-defining how human creativity, brand, accessibility, and AI collaborate to make our product more dynamic, alive, and frictionless.

What You’ll Do

• Design interfaces that elevate brand, accessibility, and emotional impact.

• Scale Stardust into a complete, consistent component library with full-page layouts and interaction patterns.

• Extend the design system to include motion and AI-specific interaction patterns.

• Prototype internal design workflows using AI tools, metadata, and creative automation.

• Build our first in-house Design System MCP to enable prompt-able brand guidelines and UI flows.

• Lead end-to-end design from discovery through to polished execution.

• Apply the refreshed brand across in-product and marketing surfaces.

• Share stories, demos, and updates to inspire adoption.

About You

• 8+ years designing UX and UI for software (bonus: AI or ML-driven products).

• Systems thinker with a passion for and experience scaling at least two design systems.

• Strong craft in UI, motion, video, and brand expression (Lottie, AE, Final Cut, Capsule, Rive etc)

• Experience in rapid prototyping (Figma, Framer, Webflow, Replit, Lovebale etc.).

• Curious and proactive in experimenting with AI tools (Gemini, Claude, Cursor, Midjourney, GPT).

• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.

• Comfortable shaping problems into clear, actionable goals.

What Success Looks Like (6–12 months)

• Brand refresh embedded in motion-rich, accessible product experiences.

• MVP of Design System MCP launched and adopted.

• 80%+ design system adoption across the tech org.

• Faster prototyping and shipping cycles.

• Strong stakeholder trust through clear updates and measurable impact.

Benefits

• Time off - 27 days holiday, plus 7 additional days off: 1 life event day, 2 volunteer days and 2 company-wide wellbeing days and 8 bank holidays per year

• Health & Wellness- private medical Insurance with Bupa, a medical cashback scheme, life insurance, gym membership & wellness resources through Gympass and access to Spill - all in one mental health support
