JOB DESCRIPTION

Tennis Channel is looking for a Senior Product Designer to help shape the future of our digital experiences across streaming (OTT), mobile, and web. This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, craft, and execution. You'll work closely with product, engineering, and content teams to design industry-leading streaming applications that make tennis-and everything around it-more accessible to fans.

Tennis Channel operates multiple broadcast and digital platforms, including Tennis Channel, T2, Pickleball TV, and Tennis.com. While this role will focus on our dedicated OTT experiences, responsive web, and native mobile apps, you'll be designing within a broader ecosystem that reaches fans wherever they watch and engage with the sport.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys taking products from 0-1, brings strong design thinking to organizations ready for it, and loves solving complex, strategic problems through systems design. As an early hire in a growing product organization, you'll help raise the bar for design quality, establish expectations of excellence, and influence how design shows up across the company. You'll also learn how to take ideas from concept to production, help shift an organization toward a true product mindset, and grow through close 1:1 mentorship as part of a small, high-impact team.

This role is onsite 3 days a week in our office in Santa Monica, CA.

In this role, you will:

• Design end-to-end product experiences across OTT, mobile, and web-from early concepts through high-fidelity execution.
• Partner closely with product managers and engineers to define problems, explore solutions, and ship high-quality work.
• Contribute to and help evolve the Tennis Channel design system, patterns, and accessibility standards.
• Evolve the brand look and feel across the digital ecosystem.
• Present work clearly to cross-functional partners and leadership, articulating design rationale and tradeoffs.
• Participate in critiques and feedback loops, both giving and receiving thoughtful, actionable feedback.
• Conduct or collaborate on research to incorporate insights, testing, and validation into your design process.
• Balance multiple projects and priorities while maintaining a high bar for craft and usability.
• Model strong design process and collaboration practices within the team.

Requirements:

• 5 plus years' experience as a product designer working on consumer-facing digital products
• Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product design work, including complex flows and systems
• Experience designing for mobile and web; OTT/TV experience is a strong plus
• Excellent visual, interaction, and systems design skills with strong attention to detail
• Comfort working in Figma, including components, libraries, and design systems
• Solid understanding of accessibility, usability, and inclusive design principles
• Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and communicate clearly with non-design partners
• Ability to think strategically while staying grounded in execution
• Passion for sports, media, or entertainment products is a plus (tennis fans get bonus points)
