• As a systems thinker and sports enthusiast, you’ll define the user experience and visual design for sports insights everywhere.
• Collaborate across fan engagement and advertising teams to develop innovative solutions that help our platform grow.
• Manage multiple projects across fan engagement initiatives simultaneously.
• Champion user research and feedback to ensure our designs meet the needs of our operations and engineering teams.
• Contribute directly to design artifacts, including wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups.
• Deliver user-centric designs that drive product success and elevate the user experience.
• Help evolve our design system, ensuring consistency, scalability, and efficiency across all products.

What we're looking for:

• 10+ years of product design experience, with a strong portfolio showcasing your work on consumer facing digital products.
• Domain knowledge with American football, soccer and basketball is a requirement.
• A track record of influencing results by bringing cross-functional teams together through collaboration and compelling storytelling.
• Deep understanding of user experience principles and best practices.
• Proficiency in design software (e.g., Figma, Adobe CC).
• Experience contributing to or managing a design system.
• Experience creating data visualizations, ideally with live or streaming data.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
