We power every Recruitment & Match Analysis decision for elite teams through software, content and services via a host of products like Hudl Sportscode, Insight, Studio, Replay, Wyscout etc.

You don’t need to be an expert in the world of sports, but you are passionate about changing customers' lives by developing products that provide a competitive edge, improving user flows and saving our users time.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 Elite designers and manager. You’ll rapidly prototype and learn by making, knowing when to apply low and high fidelity.
