About Hudl

At Hudl, we build great teams by hiring the best of the best to ensure you’re working with people you can constantly learn from. You’re trusted to get your work done your way while testing the limits of what’s possible and what’s next. We work hard to provide a culture where everyone feels supported—our employees’ votes helped us become one of Newsweek's Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces.

We think of ourselves as the team behind the team, supporting the lifelong impact sports can have: the lessons in teamwork and dedication, the influence of inspiring coaches, and the opportunities to reach new heights. That’s why we help teams from all over the world see their game differently. Our products make it easier for coaches and athletes at any level to capture video, analyze data, share highlights, and more.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior User Experience (UX) Designer 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 it’s through video analysis, team management tools, or recruiting opportunities. As part of a dynamic team, you’ll shape the future of sports by creating solutions that empower teams to train smarter, compete harder, and grow stronger together.

Responsibilities

• Focus on the customer. 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. Create actionable insights that drive physical and digital product experience strategy and design.
• Be a visual and verbal storyteller. Craft and communicate compelling concepts that are forward-facing, differentiated, and relevant to customer and business needs.
• Add clarity to ambiguous problem spaces. Tease out the important characteristics of users, their environments, and the market’s expectations to support prioritized and intuitive experiences.
• Collaborate. Form close partnerships with multi-disciplinary counterparts in Engineering, Product, Design, Scrum, and Quality to help define requirements and deliver clear and focused digital user experiences.
• Design process, quality, and delivery. Advocate for tactility, accessibility, customer needs, and design excellence as you shepherd your project to release. After delivering on-time solutions, measure and own the results of how well those solutions address design and product needs.

Requirements

• Strong communicator. Thrive in a collaborative environment that fosters open and honest communication. Have excellent presentation skills and can confidently sell ideas based on solid rationale and objectives from cross-functional teams. Comfortable being respectfully blunt when giving and receiving feedback.
• Product leadership. Think holistically about a product or feature as it performs alongside other experiences within the Hudl suite.
• Iterative prototyping skills. Proficient at using low- and high-fidelity prototyping tools and wireframing techniques based on the needs of the project.
• Problem-solver. Think critically and holistically about user interactions and address complex design challenges to provide innovative solutions that factor in technical, business, and design constraints.
• Organizational skills. Assess the appropriate level of design and research necessary to achieve your goals, with a plan to reach final deliverables. Includes using the Hudl design system, Uniform, and working directly with members of the design system team.
• Technical proficiency. Used modern component-based design software (e.g., Figma and Adobe Creative Suite) and tools like Miro to workshop concepts and drive alignment with remote stakeholders.
• Robust portfolio. Showcase a variety of projects that demonstrate expertise in UX design, including examples of user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and final design solutions.

Nice-to-Haves

• Research and insights experience. Planned and conducted qualitative and quantitative user research and know how to translate insights into actionable product and design outcomes. Adept at using various research methodologies to optimize the end-user experience.
• A sports enthusiast. 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. Committed to staying up-to-date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and design best practices, with a strong desire to continuously learn and evolve.

Benefits

• Champion work-life harmony. Flexible vacation time, company-wide holidays, timeout (meeting-free) days, and remote work options.
• Guarantee autonomy. Open, honest culture with trust from day one. Supportive team, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas.
• Encourage career growth. Lifelong learners who encourage professional development with tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
• Provide an environment to help you succeed. Invested in offices designed with employees in mind, plus the tech stack and hardware to do your best work, whether remote or in-office.
• Support your mental and physical health. Employee Assistance Program, employee resource groups, and fitness partner Peerfit.
• Cover your medical insurance. Multiple plans to pick from, including vision, dental, fertility healthcare, and family-forming benefits.
• Contribute to your 401(K). 4% company match on your own contribution.
