About The Position

CBS Sports is the digital stadium for millions of fans. We hold the rights to the biggest moments in sports—NFL, UEFA Champions League, March Madness, the Masters, and UFC. We aren't just a scoreboard; we’re a massive content engine of fantasy leagues, live video, and deep journalism. We’re looking for a Lead Product Designer to join a small, cross-functional squad that operates with the speed of a startup and the scale of a legacy giant. You won’t just work on a product; you’ll own the design outcomes from first framing through ship. We believe in a builder culture where designers aren't waiting for handoffs or research gates. You will own the Project: Take full responsibility for your product squad’s design outcomes. You lead the direction from initial concept to the final shipped experience. Build Constantly: Prototype early and often. We use AI tools (like Cursor or Claude) to visualize ideas and test interactions before they hit engineering, letting us move faster than ever. Lead with Visual Craft: We need designers who bring energy, taste, and dynamic design sensibilities. Whether it’s motion that obeys physics or layouts that capture the intensity of game day, your work should set the bar for the squad. Shape the Product: You’ll trade honest, real-time feedback with engineers and PMs. We don't just "deliver" designs; we shape products in the build.
