Hi, I'm Howard Gadsby, UX Lead at Hawk-Eye Innovations, and we're looking for a UX Designer to join our growing team.
If you're passionate about intuitive interfaces, curious about how users think, and ready to get stuck into projects that shape the future of sport - this could be the role for you.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll join a multidisciplinary team working across a range of cutting-edge sports technologies - from umpiring tools and player tracking systems to live replay and tactical analysis software. No two days are the same, but your work will always have real impact.
Your day-to-day could include:
Mapping user journeys and pain points
Creating prototypes and UI mockups for complex workflows
Collaborating with UX researchers to run usability studies
Partnering with developers and product managers to build top-class experiences
Presenting your designs to stakeholders across the business
Contributing to and evolving our design system and component library
Mentoring a junior UX designer or researcher on the team
Your Accountabilities
As a UX Designer, you'll be expected to:
Work closely within a multidisciplinary team, including stakeholders, operations, product, and developers
Collaborate with product managers and UX researchers to understand user needs, behaviours, and pain points
Understand work across multiple product streams, spotting common goals and design patterns
Contribute to team processes and occasionally lead regular UX meetings
Handle ambiguity in projects, uncover core user needs, and define clear pathways forward
Help maintain and evolve our shared design component library
Map user journeys and ensure designs directly address identified needs
Simplify complex workflows for non-technical users through clear design
Iterate on design ideas and prototypes to communicate product direction
Present design concepts and work confidently to stakeholders across the business
Support or lead usability testing in partnership with the UX research team
Collaborate closely with developers to bring your designs to life
Design towards usability benchmarks and monitor how we perform against them
Champion user needs in product discussions
Prioritise your workload effectively in a fast-paced and evolving environment
What We're Looking For
Essential:
A university degree in UX, Interaction Design, HCI, or a related field
At least 3 years of commercial experience in UX, product, or interaction design roles
A portfolio showing thoughtful, user-focused design on complex applications (not just mobile)
Experience conducting usability testing and applying insights to your work
Strong communication and collaboration skills
Comfortable working across multiple streams and juggling priorities
An analytical mindset and high attention to detail
Knowledge and experience of creating and using design systems
Familiarity with tools like Figma, Axure, or Adobe Creative Suite
Understanding of front-end technologies and how designs are implemented
Bonus Points For:
Experience in sport, broadcasting, or live event software
Speaking a second language beyond English

We offer a comprehensive package to support your growth and wellbeing.

25 days of annual leave (plus bank holidays)
