Conviva helps the world’s top brands to identify and act on growth opportunities across mobile and web apps, video streaming services, and Agentic AI experiences. Our platform delivers real-time performance analytics to transform every customer interaction into actionable insight, connecting experience, engagement, and technical performance to business outcomes. By analyzing client-side session data from all users as it happens, Conviva reveals not just what happened, but how long it lasted and why it mattered—surfacing behavioral and experience patterns that give teams the context to retain more customers, resolve issues faster, and grow revenue.


We are seeking a Senior Staff Product Designer to anchor our Beijing design team. This role is a senior IC role with regional, team leader responsibilities: you will represent design in cross-functional planning sessions with Beijing leadership, own and deliver our most critical projects, and champion the creation of a unified design system across the platform. You’ll mentor local designers, collaborate closely with engineering leadership, and ensure user advocacy and accessibility remain central in an engineering-driven culture. This is a pivotal role for Conviva’s future—helping us scale a global design practice while shaping the next generation of AI-enhanced product experiences.

What success looks like:

  • Represent design in Beijing leadership: Advocate for user needs and design quality in product strategy and cross-functional planning sessions, ensuring the design voice is respected in an engineering-driven culture.
  • Own and deliver critical projects: Take responsibility for Beijing’s most complex and strategically important product initiatives, producing high-quality, production-ready designs that balance user needs, technical feasibility, and business outcomes.
  • Champion the design system: Lead the creation and adoption of a unified design system across regions. Partner with engineering leadership in Beijing and globally to establish standards, secure buy-in, and ensure scalable, consistent design patterns for the entire platform.
  • Drive regional design excellence: Work to set the bar for design craft in Beijing by modeling best practices, reviewing work rigorously, and ensuring project-level quality across the team.
  • Mentor and coach designers: Guide and grow Beijing-based designers through daily stand-ups, feedback sessions, and project coaching. Provide clarity and confidence while fostering professional growth.
  • Collaborate globally: Align with the Senior Director of Product Design (HQ) and the regional design lead in India. Meet regularly to coordinate on platform-wide challenges, share best practices, and evolve the global design vision together.
  • Advocate with influence: Communicate design decisions in business and engineering terms, building credibility with senior stakeholders through clear, outcome-driven storytelling.
  • Advance AI design practice: Champion the integration of AI and automation into product experiences in ways that are transparent, ethical, and confidence-building for users.

Who You Are and What You’ve Done:

  • 10+ years of professional product design experience, including experience at American or global technology companies.
  • Strong mastery of English communication (spoken and written), with proven ability to operate effectively in cross-cultural and distributed teams.
  • Demonstrated track record of leading design on complex, enterprise-scale products—owning critical projects end-to-end from discovery through delivery.
  • Proven experience mentoring and coaching other designers, with the ability to run stand-ups, guide projects, and elevate design quality across a region.
  • Expertise in creating and institutionalizing design systems, including driving engineering buy-in and ensuring adoption across teams.
  • Ability to represent design with credibility in leadership and product strategy forums, influencing peers and executives in engineering-driven organizations.
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating excellence in both design craft and strategic thinking, with examples of AI-augmented or data-intensive product experiences.
  • Demonstrated advocacy for accessible design practices (WCAG compliance, inclusive patterns), with the ability to embed accessibility into systems and team workflows.
  • Experience designing complex B2B SaaS or enterprise workflow products, with fluency in multi-step flows, role-based needs, and cross-functional tradeoffs.

Preferred

  • Experience working in both Chinese and Western business environments, with demonstrated cultural fluency and situational leadership.
  • Prior experience collaborating directly with engineering leadership on design systems or platform-level initiatives.
  • Familiarity with ethical and UX approaches to designing AI-enhanced user experiences.
