Principal Product Designer - RELOCATE TO ABU DHABI

Principal Product Designers – Abu Dhabi Two hires | Strong growth | Portfolio-level impact

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

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

... then this could be an interest opportunity for you.
