Your Role

We’re looking for a User Experience Design Manager who’s passionate about building powerful digital experiences for high school coaches, athletes, and their teams. You’ll lead the design of products that help organizations run more effectively—whether through video analysis, team management tools, or recruiting opportunities. As part of a dynamic team, you’ll shape the future of high school sports by creating solutions that empower teams to train smarter, compete harder, and grow stronger together.

In this role, you’ll:

• Focus on the customer. Shape, conduct and translate user research to understand needs beyond what users say they want, digging deeper into the “why” behind feedback. Create actionable insights that drive physical and digital product experience strategy and design.
• Be a coach. Manage and professionally develop a small team of exceptional designers. Mentor your designers on both soft and hard skills to help them reach career goals.
• Be a visual and verbal storyteller. Craft and communicate compelling concepts that are forward-facing, differentiated, and aligned with customer and business needs.
• Add clarity to ambiguous problem spaces. Tease out important characteristics of users, environments, and market expectations to support prioritized and intuitive experiences.
• Collaborate. Form close partnerships with multidisciplinary teammates in Engineering, Product, Design, Scrum, and Quality to define requirements and deliver focused digital experiences.
• Design process, quality and delivery. Advocate for tactility, accessibility, customer needs, and design excellence, shepherding projects to release. After delivery, measure and own results in relation to design and product goals.

We’d like to hire someone for this role who lives near our offices in Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska, but we’re also open to remote candidates in Kansas City, Chicago, Austin, Dallas or Phoenix.

• Organizational skills. You can assess the appropriate level of design and research needed to reach deliverables.
