Job description
Freelance Senior Product Designer (Outside of IR35)
Duration: 9 months
Start Date: End of August or ASAP
Day Rate: Please specify in your application
Contract: (Outside of IR35)
Join Our Team as a Freelance Senior Product Designer (Outside of IR35) 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 track record of driving complex design initiatives alongside fast-moving engineering squads, this 9-month contract is an exciting opportunity to make a massive impact.
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 over the next 9 months on a major project.
Working alongside Lead Designers, Product Managers, and cross-functional delivery squads, you'll take full ownership of end-to-end UI and UX execution for major client initiatives across web and native mobile apps (iOS and Android).
One day you might be architecting complex user journeys and facilitating design workshops for high-stakes fan engagement features. The next, you could be setting component-driven design system standards in Figma, presenting executive-level design rationales to client stakeholders, or mentoring midweight designers within your squad.
You'll serve as a key creative lead within delivery teams, driving design quality, technical feasibility, and seamless developer handoff. Your work will directly define how millions of sports fans interact with live match data and interactive media 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
Communicate complex design strategies clearly to leadership, development teams, and external partners
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
Exceptional project management, time management, and visual/verbal presentation skills
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 Bring Your Craft to Beyond Sports
Fast-moving, creative, and innovative — that's our world.
Massive Scale & Impact: Design high-visibility product features used by millions of global sports fans daily
High Creative Ownership: Drive key design workstreams autonomously with room to set visual and structural standards
Product Variety: Lead design efforts across web platforms, iOS, Android, and emerging immersive sports tech
Collaborative Squads: Partner directly with senior product leaders, specialized engineers, and domain experts
Dynamic Environment: Tackle ambitious 9 to 12-month project milestones within a fast-moving, continuous delivery culture
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.
