## 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 visualize 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, and AI-driven storytelling across web and native mobile platforms. If you're an experienced Senior Product Designer with an exceptional visual craft, deep UX strategy expertise, and a desire to lead impactful product initiatives 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 and organizations 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 and native mobile apps (iOS and Android). One day you might be architecting complex user journeys and 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. Because we thrive on continuous improvement and collaboration, your work will directly define how millions of sports fans interact with digital 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
- 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, 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, or digital sports media)
- A standout portfolio demonstrating complex end-to-end product design, scalable systems, and polished UI/UX for iOS, Android, and responsive web
- 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 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, or real-time data visualization
- Experience designing for rich media platforms, 3D/interactive graphics, or streaming interfaces
- Familiarity with design tokens, CSS/component frameworks, or native mobile HIG and Material Design guidelines

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 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, 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, 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, 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.
