Senior Product Designer

Location: Hong Kong

Department: Product and Technology

About the Team: 

At the South China Morning Post, we are redefining how the world consumes news. We aren't just building interfaces; we are crafting intelligent, personalized, and multi-modal experiences for a global audience.

Purpose of the Position:

As a Senior Product Designer, you will bridge the gap between complex editorial storytelling and cutting-edge technology, ensuring our digital ecosystem is intuitive, accessible, and high-performing. This is a hybrid role: you'll split your time between core product design (reader journeys, newsroom tools, design systems) and growth design (promotional campaigns, paywall and subscription experiences, conversion-focused creative).

We're looking for a versatile, craft-obsessed designer with 5+ years of experience who's genuinely energised by moving between structured product problems and high-visibility promotional creative — not someone doing one as a favour to the other.

In this role, you will: 

• Product Design (~60%): Design end-to-end product flows across web, mobile, and internal newsroom tools, from exploration through shipped, polished product.
• Design System Contribution: Contribute to and help evolve SCMP's design system — components, accessibility, and consistency across product and promotional touchpoints.
• Internal Systems & Newsroom Tools: Design streamlined, efficient tools for newsroom and publishing workflows in partnership with editorial and engineering.
• Growth & Promotional Design (~40%): Design promotional campaigns, paywall experiences, and subscription conversion journeys. Create high-converting digital creative that supports acquisition and retention goals.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration & Mentorship: Partner with Product, Marketing, and Engineering to translate goals into design solutions across both product and growth work. Support junior and mid-level designers.
• Evidence-Based Design: Use research, A/B testing, and marketing performance data to validate decisions on both sides of the role.
