This role operates across the design-system federation model, collaborating closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, and other designers — both within the Design Engineering team and across the product teams adopting the design system. Partnership with frontend engineers is central, ensuring strong consistency between Figma designs and delivered code.

Engagement may also extend to federation delegates, content, operations, and support teams when product experiences intersect with broader operational processes. The team values thoughtful discussion, constructive feedback, and knowledge sharing. Designers contribute to maintaining strong design practices while driving adoption of the design system across disciplines.

Future Location Notice: This role will start in Sunbury, London. bp has announced a planned office move to Timber Square, London, with all positions currently advertised in Sunbury, including this one, expected to relocate around Q4 2027-Q1 2028. This presents an exciting opportunity for all employees and leaders to come together in one London location. The specific date of the move will be confirmed closer to the time.

The Senior Product Designer is responsible for shaping complex product experiences that require a strong understanding of user needs, business objectives, and system dependencies. The role focuses on structuring end-to-end user journeys, translating research insights into practical design solutions, and supporting teams in navigating ambiguous problem spaces.

The initial primary focus of this role is bp’s enterprise design system — designing and maintaining the tokens, components, and patterns that keep bp’s digital products consistent, accessible, and easy to build. Over time, the role will transition to contribute across the broader Developer Experience (DevEx) portfolio, including the internal developer platform and its tooling, and AI-enabled developer tooling.

Work at this level requires strong foundations in interaction design, service thinking, and visual design. The role contributes to the development of scalable product patterns and ensures design outcomes remain consistent with established systems and accessibility standards. Ensuring EAA / WCAG AA compliance across all design-system tokens and components is a core driver of this role, not an afterthought.

Awareness of emerging technologies, including AI-enabled tools and product capabilities, supports informed design decisions and efficient design workflows.

Please note that roles based out of SJS or Sunbury will move to Timber Square, Southwark, from Q4 2027.
