Job description

This is not a typical visual design role. We’re seeking a curious and ambitious Lead Conceptual Designer who can help us push boundaries and set new standards for what exceptional design means in the AI era. You will deliver game-changing design for the likes of Google, Snap, BBC, as well as innovative start-ups and challenger brands, whilst helping us lead the industry in AI-native design.

You’ll be shaping a range of customer surfaces—from marketing platforms and products to next-generation, multimodal, and agentic experiences—translating complex business challenges into simple, human-first solutions. From concept to delivery, you’ll combine design thinking, craft, collaboration, and commercial impact to create work that is visionary, award-winning, and outcome-driven.

Above all, you’re an awesome human who loves being surrounded by — and collaborating with — smart, talented folks in a fun, fast-paced environment. If that sounds like you, reach out and show us what you’ve got.

As a Lead Designer at Beyond, you will

  • Collaborate fluidly with UX designers, strategists, engineers, data scientists, and copywriters.
  • Mentor other designers and foster a culture of creativity, inclusivity, and continuous AI upskilling.

Requirements

  • Creative Visionary – Track record of award-winning conceptual design, from vision through delivery.
  • Commercially Sharp – Understands that customers buy outcomes, not outputs, and can design to drive business value.
  • AI-Curious – Curiosity in AI creative tools, workflows, and optimisation
  • AI-Native Mindset – Confident designing for intelligent, adaptive, and context-aware systems. Comfortable with LLMs, model orchestration, and multimodal interaction patterns.
  • Design Thinker – Applies structured, user-centred thinking to solve business and human challenges.
  • Hands-On Designer – Mastery of Figma, prototyping, and visual design systems. Motion design is a strong plus.
  • Storyteller – Inspires through visual storytelling, with strong client-facing presentation skills.
  • Collaborator – Works fluidly across disciplines, building trust at C-suite level and energising cross-functional teams.
  • Taste & Craft – Exceptional eye for typography, layout, color, and hierarchy across platforms.

Skills & Competencies

  • Deep experience in digital/interactive design (8+ years, agency or in-house).
  • Strong understanding of AI concepts, including conversational surfaces, multimodal interfaces, agentic systems, and responsible AI.
  • Proven ability to translate business challenges into human-first, commercially valuable design.
  • Ability to direct your vision to members of the design team: verbally, and in documentation/digitally
  • Experience leading pitches and inspiring clients with visionary yet credible design solutions.
  • Portfolio that showcases
