Role
Who you are
- 6-10 years of product design experience, with meaningful ownership of consumer-facing products
- Proven success designing for activation, conversion, and complex decision-making flows
- Strong end-to-end design skills: research, interaction design, visual design, prototyping, and systems thinking
- Experience shipping and iterating on data- or AI-informed product features in production, not just concept work
- Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering and data partners on technically complex products
- Strong product judgment—balancing user needs, business goals, and technical constraints
- Comfort working with experimentation, metrics, and iterative delivery
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional partners
What the job involves
- As a Staff Product Designer, you will lead design for some of Gametime’s most impactful consumer experiences across onboarding, discovery, search, event exploration, and value deliberation
- This is a hands-on, senior individual contributor role for a designer who thrives in ambiguity, deeply understands customers, and can translate insight into both bold new concepts and incremental improvements that drive activation and conversion.
- You’ll work end-to-end—from defining problems to shipping and iterating solutions in production—while partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Data, and Research
- Own and evolve core consumer journeys across onboarding, discovery, search, event exploration, and decision-making
- Deeply understand our customers through qualitative research, quantitative data, and behavioral insights
- Lead ambiguous, high-impact problem spaces, framing opportunities and defining experience direction from first principles
- Design high-quality UI and UX, from early concepts and prototypes to polished, production-ready designs
- Concept and validate new value propositions that help users more easily discover, evaluate, and choose events
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Data to bring ideas to life and ensure high-quality execution
- Contribute to AI-enabled experiences—such as personalization, smarter discovery, or decision support—by shaping interaction models, user flows, and trust-building patterns, and by helping ship these features in production
- Drive activation and conversion outcomes through experimentation, iteration, and close collaboration with growth and analytics partners
- Use metrics and learning loops to evaluate impact and continuously improve the consumer experience
- Raise the bar for craft and product thinking, influencing design quality beyond your immediate projects
- Mentor and support other designers, contributing to a strong, thoughtful design culture
Our take
Gamtime is a last-minute event ticketing platform that aims to stand out from the myriad of other similar apps by allowing customers to buy a ticket after the event has started. The reason for this is that ticket prices for sports often fall dramatically after the game has started, making the most of the easy-to-use, quick-buy app's features.
Though this may only cater to a small percentage of its customers, it exemplifies a certain boundary pushing from the company. This is clearly something that the market supports, given its substantial fundraising from the likes of Bolt Ventures and Maven Ventures. In addition, Gametime’s position as both a seller and buyer marketplace has placed it in a great position as a commentator on live events, collecting valuable data.
With the demand for great-value event tickets likely to continue to grow, Gametime is in a prime position to capitalize on this trend. Although the company only sells tickets for the North American continent, it is seeing huge revenue across the sports, theatre, and music concert markets - and aims to use its funds to further enhance its products and market its app to younger eventgoers.
