Head of Product Design

At Autorola Group, we're transforming how the global automotive industry buys, sells, values and manages vehicles through digital

products and data-driven solutions.

We're now looking for a Head of Product Design to build, lead and scale our Product Design capability across Marketplace,

Solutions and Indicata.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Product Design leader who enjoys building organisations just as much as building

products. You'll shape how Design contributes to product strategy, customer experience and business outcomes while establishing

the foundations for a scalable, high-performing Product Design function.

During the first 12–18 months, you will be responsible for our Product Design by being hands-on in strategic product initiatives.

You'll work directly with Product Managers, Engineering Leaders and commercial stakeholders to solve meaningful customer problems,

establish Product Design as a strategic discipline across the Group and build the capabilities needed to support our future

growth. Over time, your focus will gradually evolve from hands-on product design towards scaling the function, developing people

and strengthening design maturity across the organisation.

If you're motivated by creating products customers love, building modern Product Design organisations and shaping how product

teams work, we'd love to hear from you.

The Autorola Group is a global leader in online vehicle remarketing, automotive IT solutions and business intelligence for the

used vehicle market.

Through Autorola Marketplace, Autorola Solutions and Indicata, we help manufacturers, leasing companies, fleet owners and dealers

buy, sell and manage vehicles more efficiently using technology, data and digital solutions.

As Head of Product Design, you'll play a key leadership role within our Product organisation, reporting directly to the Chief

Product Officer. You'll work closely with Product Management, Engineering, Commercial and Operations to ensure Design becomes an

equal strategic partner throughout product discovery, strategy, delivery and continuous improvement.

You'll influence product direction through customer insight, research and design, helping Product Teams make better product

decisions and creating experiences that deliver measurable customer and business value.

You'll build the Product Design function by establishing Design Operations, career frameworks, design standards, scalable ways of

working and a strong design culture that enables teams to succeed as the organisation grows.

Success in this role isn't measured by the number of designs produced—but by stronger Product Teams, better customer experiences,

improved product quality and lasting business impact.

• Coaching Product Designers as well as multidisciplinary Product Teams in continuous discovery and customer-centric product

development.

• Partnering closely with Product Managers, Engineering Leaders, Commercial and Operations to influence product strategy and

strengthen empowered Product Teams.

• Demonstrated experience building, transforming or significantly scaling a Product Design capability within a modern product

organisation.

• Built the foundations of a scalable Product Design function, including Design Operations, shared standards and career

development frameworks.

This is an opportunity to shape Product Design at Group level and build a function with significant strategic influence. Reporting

directly to the Chief Product Officer, you'll help define how Product, Design and Engineering work together while influencing the

Product Operating Model across Marketplace, Solutions and Indicata.

You'll join a fast-growing company working with some of the strongest brands in the automotive industry. We combine an

entrepreneurial mindset with the stability of a well-established organisation, offering an informal and collaborative culture

where you can make a real impact.

We offer pension and health insurance, social and company events, a great lunch arrangement, access to a fitness room and a lively

Friday bar.

Please note that this description reflects our ideal candidate profile. We strongly believe in inclusion and diversity and

encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every requirement.
