About the Role

Join a rapidly growing sports organization at the forefront of digital innovation, building a best-in-class direct-to-consumer digital experience across web and native mobile apps. With a passionate global fan base, 54 elite athletes, and an exhilarating fast-paced 14-event season, this team is dedicated to delivering intelligent, real-time, and highly engaging digital products that captivate fans worldwide. We're seeking a craft-focused Senior Product Designer who thrives on UX, interaction design, visual design, and end-to-end execution. This hands-on role involves designing features that fans use weekly—think live leaderboards, immersive team stories, rich statistical visualizations, seamless video experiences, and innovative second-screen interactions. Unlike traditional roles that emphasize management, we prioritize makers who elevate the quality bar in a dynamic, high-velocity environment. As a key player in New York, NY, you'll contribute to products that power live sports events, foster fan engagement, and scale across teams and sponsors. If you're a designer who loves shipping polished, user-centric work under tight deadlines, this is your chance to make a global impact.

Why This Role Stands Out

This position offers the perfect blend of creative freedom and technical challenge. Work on high-stakes features that reach millions during live events, iterate rapidly with cross-functional teams, and shape the future of sports entertainment technology. Robert Half places you in this exciting opportunity, connecting top talent with innovative employers.

Key Responsibilities

In this senior role, you'll take full ownership of design from ideation to launch, ensuring every pixel and interaction delights users.

• Own end-to-end design for high-impact product areas across web and mobile—from concept through launch.
• Design live, data-rich digital experiences for events, teams, streams, and second-screen interactions that keep fans hooked in real-time.
• Create scalable storytelling, video, stats, and interactive design patterns used across teams, events, and sponsors to ensure consistency and efficiency.
• Sketch, prototype, and test concepts at multiple fidelities; leverage motion design to vividly communicate intent and user flows.
• Collaborate closely with product managers to frame complex problems, iterate quickly based on feedback, and refine solutions that drive user engagement.
• Contribute to the evolving design system, token strategy, and accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2 AA) to build inclusive, future-proof products.
• Partner with engineering, content, broadcast, data teams, and external creative agencies to align on vision and execution.
• Maintain exceptional craft standards while balancing the demands of speed and high-volume production in a seasonal event cycle.
• Help shape the design culture through peer critiques, process improvements, and knowledge-sharing sessions that elevate the entire team.

Required Qualifications

To excel, bring senior-level expertise and a portfolio that demonstrates your impact.

• Senior-level experience as a craft-focused Product Designer with a strong emphasis on UX, interaction, and visual design.
• Proven track record in end-to-end design execution for consumer-facing web and mobile apps, ideally in sports, media, or entertainment.
• Expertise in designing data-rich, real-time experiences like leaderboards, stats dashboards, and live video integrations.
• Advanced skills in prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD), motion design (e.g., After Effects, Principle), and user testing methodologies.
• Deep knowledge of design systems, component libraries, design tokens, and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility compliance.
• Thrives in fast-paced environments with short iteration cycles and high-stakes launches.
• Hands-on maker mentality—prefers building over managing, with a passion for pixel-perfect craft.
• Exceptional collaboration skills, comfortable partnering with PMs, engineers, data scientists, and creative stakeholders.
• Bonus: Experience in sports tech, live event streaming, or second-screen companion apps.
