Your Role

We’re looking for a User Experience (UX) Designer who wants to shape the backbone of youth sports. This team builds the tools that clubs rely on every day, from registrations and tryouts to calendars, messaging, and the operational glue that keeps entire organizations moving. The work touches a wide surface, and your fingerprints will land on products used by thousands of athletes, families, and coaches who count on Hudl to stay organized and stay sharp. If you like solving real problems for real users, and you want to help build a system that feels effortless in the hands of busy humans, this is your arena.

In this role, you’ll: 

  • Focus on the customer. You’ll shape, conduct and translate user research to help the team understand latent needs beyond the basics of what users say they want, digging deeper into the “why” behind user feedback. You’ll create actionable insights that will help drive product experience.
  • Be a visual and verbal storyteller. You’ll craft and communicate compelling concepts that are forward-facing, differentiated, and relevant to customer and business needs. 
  • Add clarity to ambiguous problem spaces. You’ll tease out the important characteristics of users, their environments, and the market’s expectations to support prioritized and intuitive experiences.
  • Collaborate. By forming close partnerships with multi-disciplinary counterparts in Engineering, Product, Design, Scrum and Quality, you’ll help define requirements and deliver clear and focused digital user experiences.
  • Design process, quality and delivery. You’ll advocate for tactility, accessibility, customer needs and design excellence, all as you shepherd your project to release. After delivering on-time solutions, you’ll measure and own the results of how well those solutions address design and product needs.

For this role, we're currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our offices in Lincoln or Omaha, Nebraska. But with our flexible work policy, there aren't any current requirements for the number of days you come to the office.

Must-Haves

  • Strong communicator. You thrive in a collaborative environment that fosters open and honest communication. You have excellent presentation skills and can confidently sell ideas based on solid rationale and objectives from cross-functional teams. You’re comfortable being respectfully blunt when giving and receiving feedback. 
  • Iterative prototyping skills. You’re comfortable moving from low-fi to high-fi, and you use a mix of traditional prototyping tools and AI powered systems like v0 to explore ideas, test assumptions, and push projects forward with speed and clarity.
  • A problem-solver. You have the ability to think critically and holistically about user interactions, and can address complex design challenges to provide innovative solutions that factor in technical, business and design constraints. 
  • Organizational skills. You can assess the appropriate level of design and research necessary to achieve your goals, with a plan to reach final deliverables. 
  • Technical proficiency. You’ve used modern component-based design software like Figma and tools like Miro to workshop concepts and drive alignment with remote stakeholders.
  • A robust portfolio. You’re able to showcase a variety of projects that demonstrate your expertise in UX design, including examples of user flows, wireframes, prototypes and final design solutions.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Research and insights experience. You’ve planned and conducted qualitative and quantitative user research, and know how to translate insights into actionable product and design outcomes. You’re adept at using various research methodologies to optimize the end user experience.
  • A sports enthusiast. You understand the unique challenges and opportunities within the sports technology industry. Not an athlete? No problem. What about people close to you who compete or coach?
  • Growth mindset. You’re committed to staying up-to-date with industry trends, emerging technologies and design best practices, and have a strong desire to continuously learn and evolve.

Our Role

  • 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.
