As the leader of our Design Team, you play a pivotal role in a visionary and dynamic group committed to revolutionizing the global energy sector. Building upon our Heartbeat AI Platform, our mission is to identify ⚡️#NewEnergy opportunities for our customers and build future proof, sustainable and valuable products for our customers.
Your mission
- Lead and scale the design organisation. Build, mentor, and grow a team of product designers. Set the vision for how design works at scale - from quality standards to career development.
- Own the end-to-end product design function. Drive design strategy across Heartbeat and our customer-facing products, ensuring every touchpoint - from onboarding to energy management - is coherent, intuitive, and beautifully executed.
- Embed AI into how your team works. Champion AI-native workflows across the design org: rapid prototyping, large-scale research synthesis, and automated workflows. Raise the velocity and ambition of what your team ships.
- Shape AI-powered product experiences. Partner with Product and Engineering to define how AI shows up for customers - turning complex energy data and recommendations into experiences that feel clear and trustworthy.
- Operate as a senior cross-functional leader. Influence roadmap priorities and company strategy alongside Product, Engineering, and the C-suite. Represent design as a driver of business outcomes, not just craft.

- You're fluent in generative design tools, use AI to accelerate your teams workflows, and bring genuine optimism and curiosity about where the technology is headed.

- You care deeply about design systems, coherence across touchpoints, and the long-term craft infrastructure that lets teams move fast without breaking quality.
- A strong communicator and collaborator.
- You can align a room of engineers, product managers, and executives around a design vision.
- You're comfortable with ambiguity, direct in your feedback, and generous with your thinking.
- Mission driven.
- The energy transition isn't background context for you - it's the reason you want this job.
