    About Athlete to Athlete

    Athlete to Athlete (A2A) is the leading technology platform connecting youth athletes with verified college athletes for online coaching and mentorship. Our mission is to build driven, confident, and resilient people through sports.

    Were building a category-defining product that could serve 60M+ youth athlete families, and were looking for a hands?on Design Director to own and elevate the end?to?end design experience.

    This is a hands?on role: you will work alongside Product to define ideal user flows and personally execute the work. Youll spend most of your time designing CRO improvements, wireframes, prototypes, and high?fidelity UI. You should have lots of familiarity designing intuitive front?end systems and consumer facing screens used by a large user base. This is NOT an agency / brand / creative director type opportunity.

    If you thrive in fast?paced startup environments, love turning ambiguity into clarity, and want massive ownership over a product with real?world impact, this role is for you.

    The Role

    As the UI/UX Designer, you will lead design across the A2A platform; owning UX, UI, and visual direction while operating as the companys lead individual contributor. Youll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to shape what we build, why we build it, and how it comes to life.Youll establish high design standards, build scalable systems, and ship experiences that feel intuitive, polished, and human without losing startup speed. We strongly prefer an onsite model (35 days/week) in our Santa Monica office.

    • Own and execute end?to?end product design across web and mobile (wireframes ? prototypes ? high?fidelity ? production?ready assets)
    • Serve as the lead individual contributor for all UI/UX work
    • Define and evolve A2As design vision, principles, and product experience
    • Translate user needs and business goals into elegant, simple, and scalable solutionsDesign experiences across our full ecosystem: Youth Athletes, Guardians, Mentors, and Internal Teams
    • Partner deeply with Product and Engineering on roadmap shaping, problem framing, and solution definition
    • Build and maintain a scalable design system that enables speed, consistency, and accessibility
    • Balance craft, usability, and velocity knowing when to perfect and when to ship
    • Advocate for the user through strong storytelling, prototypes, and clear rationale

    What Youve Done

    • 10+ years of product design experience, including 5+ years in lead roles
    • Proven success designing consumer products in fast?moving, product?led companies
    • Strong portfolio demonstrating world?class craft and clear business impact
    • Deep experience with Figma (components, auto?layout, prototyping, design systems)
    • Experience across subscription products, marketplaces, consumer apps, and/or video
    • Fluency in motion and interaction design (Lottie, After Effects, ProtoPie, etc. a plus)
    • Strong understanding of design systems, UX strategy, and design?engineering collaboration
    • Experience designing responsive web and mobile experiences
    • Comfort working in ambiguity and iterating quickly
    • Understanding of AI?driven UX and conversational interfaces is a plus
    • Bonus: Passion for youth sports, college athletics, or mentorship

    Who You Are

    • Deeply understands and embraces that we are building experiences used by minors, where trust, safety, and emotional impact matter deeply
    • A strategic thinker who can zoom out to vision and zoom in to pixels
    • Comfortable in scrappy environments where process is lightweight and impact is high
    • Opinionated, but highly collaborative
    • A builder first energized by shipping, iterating, and owning outcome
