Product Designer

Description

The company runs a global digital sports platform that lets fans buy licensed gear, collect physical and digital cards and memorabilia, and bet, with a sportsbook and iGaming platform in development.

The company has a database of more than 100 million sports fans and works with roughly 900 sports properties, including leagues, players associations, teams, colleges, conferences and retailers.

It also works with 2,500 athletes and celebrities, 200 of them exclusive, and operates over 2,000 retail locations, including Lids stores. More than 22,000 people work there.

The collectibles division makes and sells physical and digital trading cards, memorabilia and collectibles. It is backed by experienced investors and sports and entertainment partners and reaches over 81 million fans across the wider platform.

The team is shaping three products: a long-running trading card brand, a creator-led live shopping product where fans join card breaks, and a collecting platform for buying, selling, vaulting and managing collections.

The role sits within a team that works across these products and partners with the in-house graphic designer on how each brand looks and feels.

The company is also setting up a technology hub in Mexico City to focus on operational excellence, platform scalability, trust, and customer experience, working with customer experience, trust and safety, fraud prevention, payments, and financial operations teams.
