Staff Product Designer (London)

Job Description

hackajob is collaborating with Conveo.ai to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role.

n

Conveo is building the future of qualitative research: an AI interviewer that runs participant interviews, extracts insights automatically, and helps teams understand humans at scale.

n

We’re looking for our first senior design hire — a Staff Product Designer who will own product design end-to-end and help define how AI-native research tools should feel. This is a rare opportunity to shape an entire product category from the ground up.

n

You’ll work directly with the founders, the engineering team, and customers to craft thoughtful, intuitive experiences that make complex workflows feel simple, clear, and delightful.

n

What you’ll do

n

n
• n Deliver high-quality, user-centered designs that evolve Conveo’s core product surfaces and elevate the overall experience.

n

• n Design, prototype, and test new AI-powered workflows — from interview setup to insight synthesis — making complicated research feel effortless.

n

• n Shape the future of AI-assisted research tools, exploring new interaction models beyond current SaaS patterns.

n

• n Turn ambiguous, high-impact problems into concrete products — from early vision, to roadmap, to launch.

n

• n Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and leadership to define both long-term strategy and near-term execution.

n

• n Craft high-quality UI and interaction design that sets the bar for design excellence at Conveo.

n

• n Lead design reviews and contribute to a strong culture of feedback, iteration, and craft.

n

• n Help establish the foundations of our design system, processes, and product design culture as our first designer.

nn

Minimum requirements

n

n
• n 8+ years of relevant product design experience at a product-driven tech company or high-velocity startup.

n

• n A portfolio demonstrating strong design fundamentals, polished UI craft, and thoughtful end-to-end product thinking.

n

• n Experience partnering closely with cross-functional teams to shape product direction.

n

• n Ability to balance user needs, business goals, and multiple stakeholder inputs.

n

• n Skilled at communicating design decisions clearly and persuasively across disciplines.

n

• n Strong ability to influence product strategy and raise the design bar across the company.

n

• n Comfortable presenting work to company leadership through a clear and compelling story.

n

• n Experience working on ambiguous, complex problems spanning multiple product areas.

nn

Preferred qualifications

n

n
• n Excitement about designing for AI-native products and strong opinions about what makes a great AI experience.

n

• n Experience designing tools for technical or expert users (researchers, analysts, builders, etc.).

n

• n Comfort prototyping quickly — whether in Figma, code, or with AI tools — and leading through experimentation.

n

• n Ability to craft and advocate for new design patterns and interaction models beyond existing design systems.

n

• n Startup experience (or a strong desire to build in a small, fast-moving team).

n

• n Passion for helping others grow and raising design maturity across the organization.

nn

Why this role is special

n

This is not a “slot into an org chart” design role.

n

As Conveo’s first designer, you will:

n

n
• n Define the product design function from scratch

n

• n Shape how AI and humans collaborate in research

n

• n Build experiences that feel trustworthy, elegant, and deeply human

n

• n Have direct influence over the company’s direction and taste

nn

If you want to build the future of AI-powered knowledge work — and do the best design work of your career — we’d love to talk.
