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 and 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.
We're investing in our team to build the kind of personal, intelligent, and delightful experience our shoppers deserve, and we're only just getting started. Now we need a sharp design mind to help us get there.
Who are you
We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our team: someone who can bring outstanding design thinking together with a sharp instinct for what makes our users sign up, search, discover, purchase and keep coming back for more. A background in fashion or ecommerce is highly desirable; you'll understand our users and their world faster, and bring insight the team can build on from day one. Just as important is how you think: can you wrestle ambiguity into clarity, see past the next two sprints, and spot where AI can genuinely transform both how we build and what we build? We want someone bold, someone brave, someone ready to help redefine what design can do here, and raise the design team's profile while doing it
