Fanalysis - powered by passion
Fanalysis - the home of real fan opinion. Football has a problem. Punditry is dominated by the same voices, while fan sentiment gets lost in the noise of fragmented social media. The people who understand the game best - the fans - have never had a platform that truly reflects them. We're building that platform. Founded by Michael McIntyre and Gary Neville, and launched in partnership with Sky Sports for the 2025/26 Premier League season, we enable verified fans to rate players, managers and matches - turning supporter sentiment into structured insight that powers media, content and conversation across the game. We don't amplify the loudest voices. We surface what real supporters actually think, at scale. We're already home to a fast-growing global community, with fan perspectives reaching millions. Backed by leading venture investors and working with major media partners, we're scaling quickly - with well-known figures from football and entertainment already part of the conversation. Our mission is simple: to make fan sentiment the most powerful force in football, and give fans the platform they've always deserved.
The Role
We’re looking for a Product Designer to lead the design of our mobile app and site — the central space where fans express themselves, rate players, and shape the conversation around football. You’ll be responsible for crafting intuitive, delightful experiences that fans want to return to every day. From first-time onboarding to deep community engagement, you’ll design flows, interactions, and visuals that turn passive supporters into active fanalysts.
This is a hands-on, strategic role where you’ll work closely with the product, tech, marketing team and the user to turn insight into beautifully simple design. You’ll shape not just how the product looks, but how it feels and how fans connect with it.

- Thrives in startup environments: proactive, decisive, and comfortable moving fast with ambiguity

What We Do
Fanalysis is about fan empowerment. We want to find out what fans think about their club, their players and their manager, so that fan-opinion can be at the heart of football coverage. We aggregate ratings and opinions from real, vetted supporters to create true fan sentiment, all in one safe, fan-first space. And this is just the kick-off. From the Premier League to every league—and even other sports—the potential for Fanalysis is massive. We’re growing fast and always on the lookout for people who love football, data and content as much as we do, so if that’s you take a look at our open roles and get in touch.
