- Produce multiple concepts and prototypes; knowing when to apply pixel-perfect attention to detail, and when to make low-Fi sketches and wireframes

- You have strong opinions, loosely held

- You've got design chops. You've shipped many products over the years, and understand what it takes to design for the end user.

- Someone who can dedicatedly prioritize and execute. You are comfortable optimizing for speed and knowing when we should sweat the details vs what we can fix forward.

Desired Characteristics
- Deeply passionate about improving the lives of youth sports administrators, coaches, parents and athletes.This is just a bonus, but if you've worked or participated with youth sports in the past, whether professionally or in your personal life, we'll be even more excited to add you to our team.

- You have a proven track record to efficiently execute and quickly adapt without a lot of direct supervision, and if you ever have downtime, it's easy for you to determine how to fill it with something useful

- Someone with a people-focused design mentality. Even though you have incredible chops, you are constantly looking to hone your design instinct through feedback.
