## Job description

## SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER AT BEYOND SPORTS

JOIN OUR TEAM AS A SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER AT BEYOND SPORTS!

Are you passionate about complex product systems, pixel-perfect UI, and leading the design of next-generation digital experiences that capture global audiences?

At Beyond Sports, we don’t just visualise sports, we reinvent how fans experience them. Together with partners like NFL, NHL, FIFA, and Disney, we push the boundaries of real-time sports data, 3D graphics, gamified digital worlds, and AI-driven storytelling across web, native mobile platforms, and interactive gaming environments.

If you're an experienced Senior Product Designer with an exceptional visual craft, deep UX strategy expertise, and a desire to bridge digital sports media with rich online and mobile gaming experiences within a fast-moving design and engineering team, this is the perfect next step in your career.

## WHAT YOUR DAY WILL LOOK LIKE

As a Senior Product Designer, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping how some of the most followed clubs, leagues, and gaming platforms in world sport engage and inspire millions of fans.

Working alongside Lead Designers, Product Managers, and cross-functional delivery squads, you'll take end-to-end ownership of UI and UX solutions for major client initiatives across web, native mobile apps (iOS and Android), and interactive/gamified sports touchpoints.

One day you might be architecting complex user journeys, designing core game loops, or wireframing new live match data features. The next, you could be setting component-driven design system standards in Figma, presenting design rationales to client stakeholders, or mentoring midweight designers within your squad.

You'll serve as a key design lead within delivery teams, driving creative quality, technical feasibility, and seamless developer handoff across both software apps and mobile gaming engines. Because we thrive on continuous improvement and collaboration, your work will directly define how millions of sports fans interact with digital and gamified touchpoints worldwide.

## WHAT WE VALUE

At Beyond Sports, we move fast, collaborate closely, and build things that haven't existed before.

You'll fit right in if you:

- Bring high-level design craft, producing scalable UI architectures and seamless UX workflows across apps and gaming interfaces.
- Understand the intersection of player engagement, gamification mechanics, and digital product design.
- Take full end-to-end ownership of project workstreams from discovery through design implementation.
- Drive clarity through exceptional verbal and visual communication skills.
- Confidently lead client discussions, articulate design decisions, and align multi-disciplinary teams.
- Excel at managing your own deliverables, prioritizing high-impact work within active sprint cycles.
- Champion continuous design quality and offer constructive feedback to elevate the wider design team.
- Drive strong, proactive collaboration across creative, product, engineering, game dev, and data teams.

## YOUR BACKGROUND

You don't need to tick every box, but we're generally looking for:

- Minimum 5+ years of commercial product design experience (agency, high-growth tech, gaming studio, or digital sports media).
- A standout portfolio demonstrating complex end-to-end product design, scalable systems, and polished UI/UX for iOS, Android, responsive web, or mobile/online games.
- Experience designing engaging player flows, onboarding, progression systems, or interactive UI for online or mobile games.
- Advanced mastery of Figma, including advanced prototyping, tokenized component libraries, and design system governance.
- Deep expertise in user-centered design methodologies, information architecture, and responsive design frameworks.
- Proven experience working directly with engineering squads (and/or game engine developers) to guide successful design handoff and QA implementation.
- Methodical approach to work management with high attention to detail and quality control.
- Comfortable leading design initiatives and collaborating in an English-speaking environment.

## Nice to Have (But Not Required)

- Deep domain knowledge of world sports, live match platforms, sports betting, real-time data visualization, or fantasy gaming.
- Direct experience with mobile game UI/UX, Web3/online games, Roblox/metaverse platforms, or 3D/interactive graphics.
- Familiarity with design tokens, CSS/component frameworks, native mobile HIG, Material Design guidelines, or Unity/Unreal UI tools.

WHY LEVEL UP YOUR CAREER AT BEYOND SPORTS

Fast-moving, creative, and innovative, that's our world.

- High Impact: Your work directly shapes how millions of sports fans interact with digital platforms and game environments globally.
- Creative Leadership: Drive key product features autonomously while mentoring midweight designers and setting visual standards.
- Product Variety: Lead design efforts across responsive web, iOS, Android, mobile gaming platforms, and emerging digital sports touchpoints.
- Growth Culture: Continuous feedback loops and clear paths for career progression into Lead or Principal roles.
- Real Collaboration: Partner directly with senior product leaders, specialized engineers, game designers, and sports domain experts.

And we make sure it’s a great place to work:

- 25 days of paid leave per year
- Pension program
- Lunch included
- Gym card
- Fresh fruit, great coffee, and Friday drinks
- Bi-monthly team outings
- Office games like FIFA, chess, and ping-pong
- Sony Benefits and much more!

Ready to Bring the Beyond Sports Brand to Life?

If you're excited about building cutting-edge product experiences, merging interactive gaming with real-time sports data, leading impactful design initiatives, and contributing to a brand that's helping redefine sports entertainment, we'd love to hear from you.

At Beyond Sports, you won't just design interfaces. You'll help bring sports to life.
