OVERVIEW:

Welcome to Product Design at DICK’S Sporting Goods, where we specialize in delivering retail excellence along every aspect of the customer journey driven through Technology. Our mission focuses on crafting intuitive, easy-to-use products that span across our business. We are looking for a new team member who can enable human-centered practices that inspire, innovate, and deliver elevated experiences for our customers and products.

Athletes pursue their dreams every day, and every day the landscape of training and equipment Athletes need, evolves. Through individual and expert curation, and better guidance to what Athletes will need for the next stage of their journey, this team will help Athletes get back to the field, trail, court, studio and anywhere they pursue their passions.

As the product designer of the List & Order team, you will plan and implement the experience strategy for our Lists product, including Athlete wish lists and expert curated lists, and our post-purchase Order Journey product, including all aspects of order history, re-order, replenish and upgrade experiences.

In this highly visible role, you will work with team members across the eCommerce experience, from Search to Checkout, not to mention partners in our Supply Chain, Data & Analytics, Loyalty and Marketing domains within DSG Tech. These capabilities will also require close collaboration with partners leading our Personalization and Data Science disciplines, and our eCommerce business.

A successful candidate will demonstrate understanding of eCommerce capabilities and experiences, be a self-starter, an end-to-end experience maker, with strong visual design foundations. If this sounds like you, your next role may be at DSG Tech, delivering technology and experiences as a trusted outfitter for Athletes on any journey.

As a Product Designer II, you work closely with other product designers, product managers and software engineers to deliver product experiences rooted in human-centered principles that support strategic priorities. You are an active participant in the organization and delivery of high-quality products enabled through a lean product development process including:

Team Forming
As part of a balanced team, you invest in learning and collaborating with product managers, software engineering, and business partners. Team forming is an important aspect of aligning on your purpose, key strengths, agreements, and ceremonies.

Human-Centered Advocate – expanding teammate understanding and application of human-centered design, stakeholder exposure and involvement to critical HCD activities, and finding creative ways to influence HCD outside of a singular product team

Evidence & Risk – avoiding extensive research practices through design maturity; understanding that the nature of the evidence needed will parallel the nature of the risk presented to the customer and/or the business

Discovery - Your process is rooted in problem solving frameworks, where you leverage mixed-methods research to support identification and understanding of users (and systems), journeys, and top problems.

Experimentation - Learning is a critical part of your team culture, which allows you to create ways to validate the effectiveness of the experience pre-launch through experimentation, prototype testing, A/B testing, usability testing, and so forth.

Data-Driven – leveraging mixed methods data insights to drive decision making.

Development - This is where everything comes together as your team commits to delivering an end-to-end experience. Product designers leverage Homefield, our in-house design system, to communicate and pair with software engineers throughout the development process.

Feedback - You relentlessly seek feedback from users through various channels, while understanding how to aggregate and activate this feedback in meaningful ways within your team.
