Product Designer - High School Sports

We're looking for a Product Designer to help us build the next version of Hudl for American High School sports. 

The landscape for technology in the American high school sports space is rapidly maturing. More and more sports are integrating video and data into their practices and games. We are adding to the team that is taking Hudl into the future of these teams. More angles of higher quality video are available to teams every season. More accurate stats for every performance, on and off the field. We need to craft meaningful video plus data experiences for all our coaches and athletes. Specifically, we are going to be expanding the set of custom built solutions into a new sport like Baseball and Softball.

As a qualified candidate, you have experience guiding design projects across the entire product lifecycle, from finding opportunities to designing and validating solutions. You’ll work with a small multi-disciplinary team, partnering closely with engineering, product and business folks to find practical solutions to design problems. Together, you’ll solve problems and come up with solutions that delight our users. You’ll take full ownership of your work and responsibility for every last detail with support from your fellow Competitive Business Unit designers. You’ll rapidly prototype and learn by making, knowing when to apply low and high fidelity.

Our flexible work policy means you can decide where you want to work: our Lincoln HQ, our Omaha office or remotely within the majority of U.S. states (exceptions: Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, D.C., Hawaii, Maine, Montana, New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington). #LI-Remote

You Are

• Interested in working in a fast paced prototype-driven environment.
• Respectfully blunt when giving and receiving feedback and critique.
• Understanding that technical, business, and design constraints factor into every choice.
• Able to tease out the important characteristics of users, their environments, and work tasks to drive an intuitive experience.
• Able to work with stakeholders and others in a multi-disciplinary team to define requirements and develop the solution.
• A communicator and use those communication skills to help set up frameworks and brainstorm initial design concepts.
• A people-focused designer. Even though you have strong design chops, you are constantly looking to hone your design instinct through user feedback, or by designing options for an A/B test.

You Will

• Guide small, cross-functional teams in creating and shipping clear and focused user experiences
• Perform user research to understand latent needs beyond just the basics of what users say they want
• Rough out concepts to test with developers, QA, and the product manager
• Sketch, mock, and prototype key interactions often throwing big pieces out when it doesn't click in a user study
• Work closely with PM’s as we roll-out improvements so that we can refine it as the product gets real-world use
• Be accountable for how well a solution addresses a problem

We Will 

• Champion work-life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
• Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas. 
• Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
• Provide an environment to help you succeed. We've invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech stack and hardware to do your best work.
• Support your mental and physical health. We care about our employees’ wellbeing. Our Employee Assistance Program, employee resource groups and fitness partner Peerfit have you covered.
• Cover your medical insurance. We have multiple plans to pick from to ensure you’ll have the coverage you (and your dependents) want, including vision, dental, fertility healthcare and family forming benefits.
• Contribute to your 401(K). Yep, that’s free money. We’ll match up to 4% of your own contribution.
