We are Poppins, a new London-based digital creative agency, focused on delivering beautiful brands and building impeccable digital products. We believe our work stands above others because we truly love what we do, we pride ourselves on striking emotional chords with our clients, with a smile-in-mind approach and a love for truly great design. We’re just getting going here in London, but we have big plans, and this is the chance to be part of a company that’s growing rapidly in size and reputation.

We’re looking for a Lead Product Designer with 7+ years experience, who is ready to step into a Head of Product Design role with our growing team. You’ll be integral to the day-to-day operation of the business, building the Product Design team, and shaping/optimising the process.

We operate at the intersection of branding and product development, and we’re looking for someone able to bridge that gap, crafting beautiful experiences that fulfil a brand’s promise.

Our culture
As a small, growing team, our culture is very important to us. We’re underpinned by values of creativity, integrity, quality and care.
The team is small and fast-paced so you’ll need a good sense of humour, an open mind, and a work ethic in line with our ambition to create a world-class product standard.
We’re a social bunch too – so we’re looking for someone who’s as comfortable working hard on a pitch as they are enjoying a post-work, post-covid beverage.
