​

I’m currently hiring two Principal Product Designers for a tech organisation in Abu Dhabi that’s had a very strong few years of growth and is now entering its next phase.

The Head of Design currently leads a team of 10+ designers. As the business prepares to launch new products and significantly improve existing ones, they’re bringing in principal-level designers to help lead these initiatives and raise the bar across the portfolio.

This is a true Principal role - not just a title.

​

You’ll sit above individual squads, combining hands-on design with design leadership, strategic oversight, player-coaching, and quality ownership across multiple live and near-launch B2C products. You’ll be reviewing work, setting standards, identifying gaps, and ensuring design decisions scale consistently across the business.

The product portfolio is genuinely varied and interesting:

• A data-led product

• An education platform

• Several other consumer-facing B2C products
  

All products are used by real customers, and each comes with very different UX challenges that require thoughtful, contextual decision-making. The organisation also operates across a mix of government and non-government platforms, which adds further complexity and scope to the role.

• We’re hiring for two distinct Principal roles

• UI-Focused Product Design (Principal / Senior stepping up)

• Focused on elevating creative and UI craft standards across the portfolio.

​

What they’re looking for:

• Very strong visual and UI craft - pixel-perfect execution matters

• Heavily hands-on role with ~25% leadership

• Someone who enjoys reviewing work, setting UI standards, and pushing quality

• Open to a strong Senior Product Designer ready to step up into a Principal role

• End-to-End Product Design (Principal)

• Embedded within a newer product portfolio, acting as the design lead for this area of the business
  

What they’re looking for:

• Experience across multiple industries

• Proven track record designing products from 0 → 1

• Multiple product launches planned for 2026

• A balanced mix of hands-on design, strategic thinking, and leadership

​

What both roles have in common

• Strong B2C product design background

• Experience working closely with engineering teams in a proper product environment

• You’ll work very closely with Product Leads

• There’s an existing team of UI/UX designers — your role is to lead, challenge, align, and scale design quality across multiple products
  

If you’re a Senior or Principal Product Designer who enjoys:

• Stepping back and thinking holistically across products

• Having genuine influence over how design operates at a portfolio level

• Balancing craft, strategy, and leadership

Discover the Perks;

• Location: Abu Dhabi (on-site) + 1 month fully remote working per year

• Package: up to ~38,000 AED/month + visa + medical insurance + bonus + education allowance

• Relocation: basic relocation package available
