Design Management Team Lead

Turn Conveo's design from scattered to systematic, and build the system that scales the brand from $4M to $50M.

What we are building at Conveo:

Conveo is the AI research platform enabling fast, affordable, and high-quality consumer / B2B research. Global brands like Unilever, Google, and Orange use our AI video interviewer to generate insights across marketing and product teams. Our team has the combination of decades of market research knowledge, incredible engineering ability, and experience building companies.

To keep our quality bar incredibly high, we want to execute with the smallest possible team. You will own how design works at Conveo. You design the system, set the standards, decide what ships, and run the day-to-day. Rob, our Creative Director, leads visual direction, and we have a brand agency coming in to do a brand refresh soon. We have a foundation of assets: decks, ads, social, website. We don’t have good templates or processes to scale those assets. Your job is to take what exists, keep what's worth keeping, and build what we need to take all our assets to the next level.

You've used AI to ship at volume without dropping the bar. If you want to be the person who turns Conveo's brand into a real, scalable system, this is the role.

Build the design system foundations:

• Establish the scalable design system across Figma, decks, and web (components, templates, tokens, guidelines).
• Shape brand strategy alongside our Creative Director, founders, and agency, and then translate it into how design works day-to-day.
• Make it easy for the whole company to stay on-brand without Design becoming a bottleneck.
• Own recurring design output.
• Ship a wide variety of assets, including sales decks, investor decks, ad creative, website pages, social images, event collateral, and merch.
• Produce data visualizations, infographics, product mockups, and long-form content imagery (for whitepapers, guides, one-pagers, reports).
• Continuously raise the quality bar on the assets we ship most often.
• Create templates, AI skills, and processes to allow team members to self-serve more and make Design scalable.
• Run design ops and triage.
• Be the first stop for all incoming design requests across the company.
• Scope, prioritize, and route work across resources, including internal designers, agencies, and freelancers.
• Manage feedback loops, deadlines, and stakeholder communication so projects ship cleanly.

Requirements:

• 6+ years of design experience with strong B2B / SaaS exposure and a portfolio that proves both volume and craft.
• Demonstrable track record of building scalable design systems, templates, AI workflows, and reusable components that other teams actually adopted.
• Excellent presentation design skills across sales decks and investor decks.
• Experience working across a wide range of design assets.
• Brings structure and rigor to creative work. You ship on time, communicate proactively, and don't let chaos compound.
• Strong collaborator who is a true partner to opinionated founders, fellow creatives, and demanding GTM partners.
• Comfortable using AI tools to ship faster without dropping the quality bar.
• Prior experience at a Series A/B startup scaling design from scratch.
• Recurring assets ship on time, on brand, and at higher quality, with less rework.
• A scalable design system is in place across Figma, Claude, decks, and web, and the wider team is actively using it.
• Design ops runs smoothly: requests are triaged within 24 hours and Marketing, Sales, and Product trust the Design function to deliver.

We care about building real relationships, not just great products. Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity (stock options) with real upside.
