At Underdog, we make sports more fun.
Our thesis is simple: build the best products and we’ll build the biggest company in the space, because there’s so much more to be built for sports fans. We’re just over five years in, and we’re one of the fastest-growing sports companies ever, most recently valued at $1.3B. And it’s still the early days.
We’ve built and scaled multiple games and products across fantasy sports, sports betting, and prediction markets, all united in one seamless, simple, easy to use, intuitive and fun app.
Underdog isn’t for everyone. One of our core values is give a sh*t. The people who win here are the ones who care, push, and perform. If that’s you, come join us.
Winning as an Underdog is more fun.
We're actively evolving the Underdog brand, and we need a designer who can help bring it to life. As our Senior Graphic Designer, you'll be the hands and craft behind our visual identity — someone who can make our brand feel thrilling and alive across every channel, and who knows how to flip between a high-impact campaign and scrappy, UGC-style content without missing a beat. This is a high-ownership execution role at the center of a brand with real momentum.
- Bring the Underdog rebrand to life — translate evolving brand direction into executions that feel exciting, energetic, and unmistakably Underdog across social, paid, email, CRM, partnerships, and product touchpoints.
- Lead campaign design end-to-end — take projects from brief through delivery, owning the craft and pushing the visual bar at every stage.
- Flex across styles — move confidently between high-production campaign design and scrappy, UGC-native content that feels authentic and in-the-moment.
- Collaborate closely with Marketing and Product teams to bring personality, narrative, and visual consistency to creative assets across all channels.
- Upload assets to Frontify and ensure our brand library stays current and accurate for internal and external use.
- Bring a point of view — contribute ideas proactively and push work forward without needing to be pointed in a direction.
- 5-8 years of in-house or agency graphic design experience, with a portfolio that shows range — campaigns, social, digital, branding — and a clear, confident visual sensibility.
- Expert in Adobe Creative Cloud, especially Photoshop and Illustrator; you're fast, decisive, and know how to adapt without losing your edge.
- You can make something feel thrilling — you understand what stops a scroll, creates excitement, and makes a brand stick.
- Equally comfortable doing scrappy, culturally-tuned UGC-style work as you are executing a fully produced campaign.
- You balance your own creative instincts with brand guidelines — you can work within a system and know when to push it.
- You're a self-starter — you don't wait to be told what the next step is, you see it and you take it.
- You use AI tools daily and think critically about how to apply them — you're always looking for ways to move faster and do more without compromising the work.
- You have a point of view on copy and aren't afraid to write it — you understand how words and visuals work together and can craft headlines, captions, and short-form copy that land.
- You manage multiple projects simultaneously, hit deadlines, and don't need hand-holding to figure out what's next.
- Illustration, branding, or logo design experience.
- Motion or animation skills — our brand lives in video-first environments.
- Experience working within or alongside a rebranding effort.
