Senior Product Designer
DFDS
Date: 2 weeks ago
City: Immingham
Contract type: Full time
Are you a seasoned, creative, and system-oriented Product Designer with a strong track record in building and maintaining design systems? Do you thrive at the intersection of UI precision and scalable component thinking – from atoms to organisms – and want to shape the future of B2B digital products?
Join our informal but ambitious Design Chapter at DFDS, where we work strategically across end-to-end user journeys, while being deeply embedded in product teams. You’ll co-own the design responsibility for key digital services in our Ferry & Terminals business – and you’ll take the lead on contributing back to strengthen the design system foundation that will enable consistency, scalability, and velocity across our B2B products.
About The Role
DFDS is Northern Europe's largest integrated shipping and logistics company. We serve over 8,400 freight customers and six million passengers annually, operating terminals, ferries, and logistics solutions across 20+ countries.
You’ll be part of the Ferry & Terminals product team, working closely with one other Product Designer and a cross-functional team of developers, analysts, and business stakeholders. Your primary responsibility will be to establish and evolve a robust design system that aligns with our new corporate visual identity (CVI), enabling unified experiences across multiple B2B products.
You’ll also collaborate closely with our broader community of 13+ international Product and Service Designers (and one excellent UX Researcher) to ensure coherence across the design landscape at DFDS.
Your Key Responsibilities
We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. With this in mind, we think that you as a person would be a great fit if you are a proactive self-starter, and a strong finisher, who can take the initiative and take responsibility for getting things done. You are data-driven, analytical and can see the bigger picture, but still have a great eye for detail and coherence. You are a team player who values collaboration and can give and receive constructive feedback on designs.
We imagine the ideal person for this position will have the following qualifications:
About The Team
You’ll join a cross-functional team on a mission to modernize and simplify a highly complex and critical internal system focused on operational efficiency. As one of the founding members of this effort, you’ll help reimagine a legacy platform used daily by our operations teams — transforming it into a more intuitive, scalable, and user-friendly experience.
We work fast, test early, and focus on building solutions that are both impactful and easy to adopt. The team brings energy, clarity, and a strong user focus — creating space to collaborate deeply and build with purpose.
Working at DFDS
Join the movement and grow with us.
While you’re with us, we want you to develop and grow. We’ll encourage you to challenge yourself to acquire new skills and perspectives.
Despite being a 158-year-old company, DFDS is a very modern, diverse, and innovative organisation, that recognizes the value of UX, bases decisions on data, and supports UX into a higher-level strategy.
In DFDS you will be joining the Ferry & Terminals Tribe in the Technology and Innovation (T&I) division. The position can be located both out of our HQ in CPH or Grimsby UK.
Are we a match? Then what are you waiting for? Apply Now.
If you think your personality, skills, experience, and ambition match this role, we’d love to hear from you. Send us: your resume of relevant experience and a portfolio with both UX and UI work that you are proud of.
We will meet potential candidates on an ongoing basis but due to summer season approaching you can expect a bit longer response time due to vacations.
Applications without a portfolio attached will not be considered.
We look forward to hearing from you.
