Lead Product Designer

AI overview

Drive the user experience for a data platform that empowers clients to engage and monetize their fanbases through sophisticated data tools.

Two Circles grows audiences and revenues for the world’s leading sports and entertainment. We our help clients know fans best. From 14 international offices (Amsterdam, Bern, Cologne, Kansas City, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Miami, New York, Paris, Riga, Stockholm, Hyderabad and Vancouver), Two Circles manages billions of fan data interactions on behalf of over 950 clients around the globe, with more insight into fan behavior and desire than any other organization. Two Circles works with organizations across the world of sport and entertainment, including the NFL, Premier League, Wimbledon, World Rugby, EA SPORTS and UEFA.

Help shape the future of how the world’s leading rights-holders know fans best. 

We’re looking for a Lead Product Designer to define and elevate the user experience of Audience Intelligence — the data platform that helps our clients know fans best. By connecting data from multiple systems into a single fan identity, Audience Intelligence enables rights-holders to segment their audiences, uncover insights, and drive meaningful action across marketing, activation, and commercial functions. 

This is a pivotal role in our global product organisation. You’ll be responsible for raising the quality, usability, and coherence of a rapidly expanding suite of data tools that sit at the centre of how our clients understand, grow, engage, and monetise their fanbases. Your work will directly help clients realise value faster — including smoother onboarding, clearer workflows, and shorter time-to-value on their most important use cases — ultimately improving adoption and retention across the platform. 

As a Lead Product Designer, you’ll drive design across multiple product squads, partnering closely with Product and Engineering leadership. You’ll define and deliver the experience for some of our most complex, data-heavy workflows — spanning data management, segmentation, reporting, and campaign orchestration — all essential to helping clients personalise fan journeys and unlock measurable commercial impact. 

You’ll work across regions (North America and EMEA to start, with India to follow), bringing clarity to complex problems, aligning disparate systems into a cohesive experience, and building design foundations that scale. This role is for a designer who thrives in ambiguity, brings structure to complexity, and cares deeply about crafting elegant, powerful tools for expert users working with sophisticated datasets.
