Job description

Overview

BP Media helps athletes and universities prove real performance and market value with confidence.

As athlete marketing and sponsorship decisions evolve, value can’t be based on opinions, follower counts, or guesswork. Athletic departments, brands, and agencies need clear, defensible proof of what athletes actually deliver. Athletes need a credible way to show why they deserve higher-value opportunities.

BP Media turns athlete visibility into evidence. Our platform uses AI and computer vision to identify athletes in live and recorded content and measure real game-day and digital exposure—what fans, media, and sponsors actually see—translating it into clear, sponsor-ready insights. The result is partnerships and compensation decisions that are easier to justify, approve, and stand behind.

By bringing transparency and objectivity to athlete exposure, BP Media supports:

• Universities and athletic departments making defensible decisions
• Athletes clearly demonstrating their value
• Brands and agencies investing with greater accountability

About the Role

This is not a traditional UX role.

We are looking for a Head of UX/UI Designer to help define, build, and own the user experience of a sports AI platform from the ground up. This role sits at the intersection of product, design, and strategy and is ideal for a senior designer interested in long-term ownership and leadership, not a short-term contract or execution-only role.

This position begins as a senior leadership role with a founding-partner path for the right candidate.

What You’ll Own

• End-to-end UX/UI for a data-driven SaaS platform (dashboards, workflows, athlete profiles)
• Translating complex AI outputs into simple, intuitive experiences
• Core user journeys from content ingestion to exposure and value reporting
• Design system and product visual language
• Strategic collaboration on product direction and go-to-market decisions

Who This Is For

A Senior, Lead, or Principal Product Designer ready to move from execution into ownership and leadership. Someone who enjoys early-stage environments and wants to help shape both product and company direction.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of UX/UI or product design experience (SaaS or data-heavy products preferred)
• Strong portfolio showcasing dashboards, platforms, or complex workflows
• Ability to simplify complex data for non-technical users
• Strong product thinking and Figma skills
• Comfort operating in fast-moving, early-stage environments
• Interest in sports, athletes, sponsorship, or AI

Compensation & Growth

• Equity participation available for qualified candidates (details discussed during interviews)
• Salary planned as the company scales
• Opportunity to grow into a long-term product leadership role

Current Focus

Soccer, basketball, football, and baseball.

If you’re interested in building something meaningful at the intersection of sports, AI, and design—and want real influence over what gets built—we’d love to connect.
