About the Team
The Product Attributes & Satisfaction team puts the user and the product at the centre of every decision. We partner with Engineering, Commercial and Quality teams globally, using consumer insight and technical understanding to shape product definition, validate performance, and monitor satisfaction once products reach the market.
About the Role
This role blends deep product insight expertise with strong engineering and systems competency. You will operate at the intersection of consumer understanding and technical product development, ensuring that user needs are translated into clear, actionable direction and robust product definition.
While the weighting of the role is toward product insights, success requires the engineering logic, systems thinking, and rigour.
You will provide programmelevel leadership, act as the voice of authority for product satisfaction, and shape how Dyson defines, validates, and delivers usercentric performance across categories.
