Job Description

Description

Lyst is a global fashion shopping platform founded in London in 2010 and catering to over 160M shoppers per year. We offer our customers the largest assortment of premium & luxury fashion products in one place, curating pieces from 27,000 of the world's leading brands and stores. In 2025, Lyst joined Zozo, operators of Zozotown, the leading fashion e-commerce platform in Japan. This partnership marks a bold new era for Lyst, as we accelerate our vision and work together to transform the future of fashion shopping through AI and technology. 

At Lyst, we obsess over the customer, providing a search & discovery experience which offers inspiration, fulfilment, and personalisation. We believe that fashion is amazing but shopping for fashion often isn't, and use our technology, data and creativity to bring more joy, greater choice and fewer fails. Our mission is to help fashion shoppers make better choices and help fashion partners find better audiences as the category-leading destination for every fashion shopper.


The Role:

We're seeking a talented Mid-Weight Product Designer to join our growing team in London. In this role, you'll work alongside our Senior Product Designers, Product Design Lead, product managers, and engineers to create compelling user experiences for our customers. Your mission is to design intuitive, user-friendly interfaces that help people discover and shop from over 11,000 designers and 8 million products. As a Mid-Weight Product Designer, you'll contribute to the design direction of our products, from discovery to ideation and implementation. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that our designs are usable, accessible, visually appealing, and aligned with our brand values.


Responsibilities:

  • Collaborating with the Product Design Lead and product team to design the UX and UI of our products, features, and releases.

  • Ensuring consistency and coherence across our product designs, adhering to our design systems and guidelines.
  • Working with engineers to ensure that designs are technically feasible and efficiently implemented.
  • Presenting and advocating for your design solutions to stakeholders, clearly articulating the rationale behind your decisions.
  • Keeping up with industry trends and best practices in e-commerce and product design, and sharing insights with the team.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of product design experience, with a focus on e-commerce. It may be in fashion or it could be in another area such as gaming or travel. 
  • You’ve designed and delivered experiences for an iOS app.
  • Familiarity with working with and iterating on design systems.
  • Strong visual design skills with proficiency in typography, colour, layout, iconography and aesthetic sense, and a solid understanding of how these elements influence product function.
  • Proficiency in Figma. Any other prototyping tools are a plus.
  • Curious and open to applying AI technology to approach design problems - whether it is for research during discovery or vibe coding to create rough prototypes.
  • A portfolio showcasing your user-centric design solutions. We’re really interested to see how you identify and solve user problems and then deliver live products.
  • An interest in understanding the business and how design decisions impact commercial goals.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively within a team.
  • A user-centred design approach. You’re interested in user research methodologies and you might have contributed to research projects.

  • A passion for creating engaging user experiences and an eagerness to learn and grow as a designer.
  • The willingness to give and receive constructive feedback and iterate on your designs.
