Company mission
To power the world’s most passionate storytellers.
Role
Who you are
- Someone who brings exceptional craft, sharp product thinking, and a passion for sports and digital experiences, and who can turn complex challenges into intuitive, inspiring products – just as comfortable ideating from a blank page as refining polished designs
- 5+ years of product design experience, ideally in content, media, sports, or consumer digital products, with expert-level UI craft and advanced UX capabilities
- A genuine, proven American sports fan (regularly follows games, teams or leagues and understands the ecosystem from a fan’s perspective) – this is a must for the role
- Strong creative point of view—confident leading discussions, challenging assumptions, and collaborating effectively across teams
- Strategic and adaptable, with a strong grasp of sports culture and what motivates fans, aligning user needs, business goals, and brand expression
- Fluent in modern AI-enhanced design workflows (Cursor, Figma Make, Google AI tools, Notebook LM, etc.) to accelerate ideation and execution
- Excellent storytelling and communication, able to convey vision through visuals, prototypes, and clear narrative
- A high level of proficiency in both written and spoken English
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who lives and breathes sports, and can translate a true fan’s perspective into data‑driven insights and product decisions
- You’ll bring a strong point of view, explore multiple conceptual directions, and consistently elevate the work through creativity and clarity
- Lead end-to-end product design for complex initiatives, turning business goals and user insights into elegant UX/UI solutions
- Drive early exploration through research, ideation, prototyping, and generating strong conceptual directions
- Translate abstract ideas into clear product experiences, from flows and wireframes to polished interfaces and interactions
- Collaborate across product, engineering, editorial, and business teams to define problems, align on strategy, and deliver solutions
- Champion design quality and user advocacy by presenting with clarity, using data to inform decisions, mentoring peers, and contributing to design systems
Our take
Minute Media operates in the ever-evolving digital sports and entertainment landscape, where innovation is key to staying ahead. As traditional media struggles, digital platforms that focus on niche, engaging content - especially in sports - are thriving. And this is something Minute Media is capitalizing on, engaging global audiences across multiple channels, including social media, streaming, and interactive content.
The company owns and operates renowned sports brands, including Sports Illustrated, The Players' Tribune, FanSide, and 90min. Alongside this, it provides sports highlight rights through its acquisition of STN Video, a move that enhances its offerings of video content and distribution technology. Helping the company firmly establish itself as a leader in digital sports media.
On top of this, the company has recently made some big strategic moves, including its acquisition of VideoVerse, a leading AI-powered sports video platform, in a deal valued at over $200M. This move not only expands the company's global technology capabilities with a large team of AI developers in India, but also positions Minute Media to offer a fully integrated solution for creating, distributing, and monetizing sports content in real time. With its growing portfolio and a $1.4B valuation, the company is very much set to lead the next wave of innovation in digital sports media.
