Product Designer

Overview

Stathletes is revolutionizing professional hockey data and analytics for the world’s premier leagues, teams, players, agents, media, sportsbooks and digital platforms. Our mission is to offer the most comprehensive dataset in sports to drive the most accurate and insightful statistical analysis available in the market.

And we're looking for an experienced Product Designer to join our team! As a key member you will collaborate closely with product, engineering, data, and our client success teams to craft intuitive, impactful experiences across our products that serve internal teams, sports clubs, media, and the world's premier hockey leagues.

The Role

As a Product Designer you'll drive the end-to-end design process for key products and features: from discovery and problem framing, through interaction and visual design, to partnering with engineers on high-quality implementation. You will work closely with product management to understand customer needs, define problems, and explore solution spaces. You will turn complex data and workflows into simple, elegant interfaces that help our users make better decisions, faster.

You will:

Partner with product, engineering, and data teams to define and solve high-impact problems
Lead UX and interaction design for new features and products, from low-fidelity concepts to polished designs
Create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals that communicate clear design intent
Contribute to and help evolve our design systems and component libraries
Run and synthesize user research, usability testing, and feedback sessions
Advocate for users and usability while balancing technical and business constraints
Collaborate closely with engineers to ensure high-quality implementation of designs
Help shape how we integrate advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning into intuitive, trustworthy experiences

This role provides an exciting opportunity to shape the way people interact with cutting-edge sports data and analytics, and to help define how the world creates and consumes sports data.

Experience designing end-to-end experiences for B2B or complex data products
A portfolio that demonstrates strong interaction design, visual design, and problem solving
Experience working closely with product managers and engineers in an agile environment

Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools (Figma or similar)
Experience running user interviews, usability tests, or other research activities
Comfort working with constraints and iterating quickly based on feedback and data
A product mindset with strong competencies in prioritization, trade-offs, and balancing user and business needs
A passion for shipping high-quality, thoughtful user experiences

Nice-to-haves:

Experience designing for analytics products, dashboards, or other data-heavy interfaces
Experience with design systems, component libraries, and documentation
Familiarity with frontend technologies (for example, React, TypeScript, HTML/CSS) and how design decisions translate into implementation
Experience working with AI/ML-powered products or features
Knowledge of sports analytics or related domains
A love of hockey, and/or a passion for delivering data products
