Product Designer, Shop

Fanatics is building a leading global digital sports platform. We ignite the passions of global sports fans and maximize the presence and reach for our hundreds of sports partners globally by offering products and services across Fanatics Commerce, Fanatics Collectibles, and Fanatics Betting & Gaming, allowing sports fans to Buy, Collect, and Bet. Through the Fanatics platform, sports fans can buy licensed fan gear, jerseys, lifestyle and streetwear products, headwear, and hardgoods;

collect physical and digital trading cards, sports memorabilia, and other digital assets; and bet as the company builds its Sports book and iGaming platform. Fanatics has an established database of over 100 million global sports fans; a global partner network with approximately 900 sports properties, including major national and international professional sports leagues, players associations, teams, colleges, college conferences and retail partners, 2,500 athletes and celebrities, and 200 exclusive athletes;

and over 2,000 retail locations, including its Lids retail stores. Our more than 22,000 employees are committed to relentlessly enhancing the fan experience and delighting sports fans globally.

The Fanatics App is becoming the daily home for sports fans - the place they buy, bet, collect, and play from one connected surface. The Shop pod owns the commerce heart of that experience: how fans discover, browse, and buy licensed gear, jerseys, and exclusive drops without ever leaving the app they already live in.

You'll lead design for the App Shop experience discovery, merchandising, product detail, and the handoff into cart and checkout - inside an app built to serve fans who come in wanting three very different things: to shop, to play, or just to check the score. Shop has to earn its place next to those other surfaces, feel unmistakably Fanatics, and convert without ever feeling like a bolted-on storefront.

This is a hands‑on Staff role. You'll set the design direction for the pod, ship the work yourself, and raise the design bar for the team around you.

• End-to-end Shop design: discovery and browse, merchandising and personalized recommendations, product detail, and the cross-sell and post-purchase moments that turn a single sale into a habit.
• Multi-milestone design programs, at times ambiguous - you'll drive them to business outcomes with minimal oversight, shaping product vision and managing stakeholders and team capacity.
• The pod's slice of the Fan App design system: patterns for product cards, merchandising modules, and recommendation surfaces that other pods can adopt.
• Prototyping as the way you decide, including in the product environment itself (code/app, not just Figma) - using AI tools to explore and validate real behavior against real data and backend constraints.
• Design evaluation and validation standards for the pod: setting the bar for how work gets critiqued, redlined, and handed off to engineering.
• Mentorship for designers on and around the Shop pod - craft, ownership, and collaboration.

You'll partner closely with the Shop pod's Product Manager and Engineering Manager, sitting inside the pod rather than serving it from a distance. You'll also work horizontally with the other Fan App design staff and leads to keep Shop's patterns coherent with the rest of the app - Home, Scores, Loyalty, and beyond.

Expect to partner with pod leadership on planning and roadmap‑building, influencing what gets prioritized based on user insight, design principles, and business impact - and to connect that strategy to your own day‑to‑day execution.

• A Shop experience that measurably grows conversion and repeat purchase, especially among Shop‑led Fans, without…
