Senior Content Designer

About the role and why it’s unique:

• Design, write, edit and test clear, compelling in-product language to help users and teams meet their goals. This includes product flows, interface language, education materials, product names, navigational nomenclature, terminology, taxonomies and other content across Underdog products and experiences.
• Apply systems thinking to the product, whether it’s defining extensible design system guidance, conducting audits of existing experiences or creating information architecture.
• Give and solicit feedback from your Product Design & System peers in service of building the best products.
• Create high-fidelity design mocks using existing components in Figma, and use them to present design solutions.
• Collaborate daily with peers in every discipline, including engineering, design, systems, marketing and data, to take products from conception to launch.
• Demonstrate sound judgment and influence product decisions, team direction and strategy. This includes identifying potential risk for users or the company, and aligning stakeholders around significant decisions by illustrating product tradeoffs.
• Independently and proactively identify and work on projects that span multiple teams. This may involve facilitating or co-facilitating design sprints and workshops to kick off these projects.
• Build internal community, provide mentorship and develop skills of other content designers.

• Experience in fantasy sports and/or sports betting
