You will be successful here by:

• Having a systematic / holistic approach when it comes to organizing information, components, and synthesizing user feedback in support of an app ecosystem.
• Being a great storyteller and a strategic presenter who can communicate athletes problems and guide people through decisions that tackle these problems.
• Cultivating an alignment-driven approach that encourages feedback cycles from various internal sources as well as encourages use and commitment to web UI/UX patterns.
• Partnering with engineers, product designers, and brand designers to work collaboratively on areas like documenting our component library, and how to use it from a design standpoint.
• Approaching your work from the standpoint of making it easier for teams to build web-based product offerings.

We’re excited about you because:

• You have experience treating web platforms like a product, and have worked with product teams to evaluate, research, test, and tackle customer problems.
• You come with a deep knowledge of best practices for information architecture, navigation, UX, and UI design for the web and rich web application environments.
• You’ve worked with layout and rendering approaches endemic to the web like responsiveness, progressive enhancement, supporting browsers on various platforms.
• You are familiar or have experience with web accessibility practices like writing semantic validating HTML, CSS/SASS.
• You are familiar or have experience with frameworks like React or test frameworks like Jest or Cyprus.
• You have an interest, exposure, or hands on experience in CMS and/or API-driven products, and/or data collection utilities like Tableau, Google Analytics, etc to make data-informed design/business decisions.
