Job Description

Interested in working at Hudl? Awesome. Here's what you need to know. Our goal is to change the way coaches, athletes and analysts prepare for and stay ahead of the competition. Whether it's with video, stats or a combination of the two, we want our tools to help every step of the way. That's why we're always hiring-we need the best because a product is only as good as the people behind it. We're looking for a Sr. Product Design Manager to lead the design team responsible for working on Hudl's Pro Suite of services and software (Hudl Sportscode, Wyscout, Hudl Replay and Hudl) for professional sports teams. This is not a full time management position. Your time will be split into 3 main areas: 25% team management, 25% creative direction and strategy and 50% hands on design with a cross-functional squad working on Hudl Sportscode. The vision for this role is to evolve into a Director of Product Design for the Elite product team over the course of 2 years. Hudl acquired Sportstec in 2015 and with it the product Sportscode (now referred to as Hudl Sportscode). Hudl Sportscode is a fully customizable performance analysis Mac application that professional sports teams use to evaluate themselves and their opponent to prepare for the next game. Have you ever wanted to work on a product that people use to do a majority of their job? For designers, that may be Figma, Photoshop or Sketch. For performance analysts on a professional sports team, that's Hudl Sportscode. We have the opportunity to impact their work life by saving them time and making the mundane easier or in some cases automatic. We also have the opportunity to help teams find and capture the most important moments to change their team's course. Designing for and creative-directing a product like Hudl Sportscode (think Final Cut Pro X on steroids) takes a deep understanding and sympathy for Mac applications. As a qualified candidate, you have experience designing Apple applications-bonus points if you've designed a Mac application. You are a business-oriented design leader. You'll balance a rigorous user-centric perspective with the ability to make bold decisions and move the product forward in a fast-paced development environment. You will foster cross-functional and cross product area collaboration and consistency by working closely with others to shape the vision and define the roadmap for our products. You will work to integrate user insights into the product strategy and design. You will always advocate for user experience, customer journeys and design excellence.
