Your Role

We’re looking for a User Experience Design Manager who’s passionate about building powerful digital experiences for high school coaches, athletes, and their teams. At Hudl, you’ll lead the design of products that help organizations run more effectively—whether through video analysis, team management tools, or recruiting opportunities.

In this role, you’ll :

• Focus on the customer . You’ll shape, conduct and translate user research to help the team understand needs beyond what users say they want, digging deeper into the “why” behind user feedback. You’ll create actionable insights that will help drive physical and digital product experience strategy and design.

• 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.
