• Lead user research efforts including interviews, concept validation, usability testing, and rapid prototyping
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to define requirements, assess tradeoffs, and deliver impactful design solutions
• Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals that set a high bar for clarity and craft
• Drive cohesion across the platform by contributing to and evolving Arena Club’s design system
• Balance speed and design quality, making informed decisions about where to iterate and where to invest deeply
• Mentor teammates, provide thoughtful critique, and help strengthen Arena Club’s design culture

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience designing consumer-facing products (mobile and/or web)
• Strong portfolio demonstrating complex problem solving, interaction design, visual design, and systems thinking
• Expertise in designing high fidelity flows ready for dev handoff in Figma
• Experience partnering with engineering teams and shipping production-quality product at scale
• Ability to conduct and synthesize user research and apply insights effectively
• Strong understanding of UX principles, interaction patterns, and accessibility best practices
• Skilled in creating design systems, reusable components, and scalable interaction patterns
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain design rationale to technical and non-technical audiences
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment with shifting priorities
• Interest in marketplaces, sports, collectibles, or community-driven products is a plus
