What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Product Designer position at Arena Club?
About Arena Club
If you’re fascinated by sports cards and memorabilia, your search ends here. Arena Club is pioneering the collectibles domain by introducing the first-ever digital card show. Spearheaded by 5x World Series Champion Derek Jeter and serial entrepreneur Brian Lee, Arena Club has developed a fully digital marketplace. This innovative platform is built on trust, transparency, and fun, featuring grading & authentication, vaulting, and digital pack openings for collectors to build and showcase their collections in a personalized online showroom from anywhere in the world.
About The Role
We are seeking a Senior Product Designer who combines strategic product thinking with exceptional craft. You’ll lead the design of end-to-end experiences that define how collectors interact with Arena Club across web and mobile, shaping both the vision and the execution of our user experience.
You’re equally skilled at breaking down complex systems into intuitive flows as you are polishing high-fidelity visuals. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Data, and Leadership to turn ambiguous problems into elegant design solutions. As a senior member of the team, you’ll contribute to design standards, mentor designers, and influence product direction at a foundational level.
What You Will Do
Life at Arena Club isn’t for the faint of heart — and that’s by design. We’re building products and experiences the collectibles world has never seen. This is a proving ground. It demands your best every single day, because anything less means you’re falling behind.
From day one, you’re in the game. Trusted to deliver, expected to own outcomes, and driven to raise the bar higher than you thought possible. We don’t just execute — we innovate, compete, and win together.
If you want routine or predictability, you won’t find it here. But if you’re ambitious, relentless, and hungry to prove yourself on a team built to dominate — step into the arena. You’ll discover growth and reward here, unlike anywhere else.
