We're backed by Fanatics — a $31B company and the world's largest sports merchandiser, with 900+ sports relationships and exclusive MLB, NFL, and NBA licensing. Our commerce engine spans three connected marketplaces: Fanatics Live (live breaking, buy-now and auction), the Fanatics Collect Marketplace (our secondary marketplace and auction house), and TOPPS.com (primary market e-commerce for new releases and drops). The Team We're a distributed team across time zones and countries. We hire for intelligence and kindness, value context over control, and expect ownership — hands-on, decisive, comfortable with ambiguity. Help shape the future of the Fanatics Collect Marketplace The Fanatics Collect Marketplace is our secondary marketplace and auction house — the trusted, always-on venue collectors rely on to buy and sell at scale, spanning Buy Now fixed-price listings and ongoing Weekly and Premier Auctions. We're looking for a Design Lead to own this experience end to end: making it the most enjoyable, the most trusted, the most engaging, and the easiest way for collectors to find and buy the cards they're looking for. You'll partner closely with the Director of Product Design, Fanatics Collect E-commerce, and with the design leads for Fanatics Live and TOPPS.com, so the Marketplace feels like one part of a single, coherent Fanatics Collect experience — not a separate product. What You'll Do Marketplace Experience • Own the end-to-end design of the Fanatics Collect Marketplace — Buy Now, Weekly Auctions, and Premier Auctions. • Make it the easiest way to find the card a collector is looking for — search, browse, filtering, and discovery that scale as the marketplace grows. • Build the trust and transparency collectors expect from the world's leading auction house for trading cards — clear listings, clear provenance, clear outcomes. • Balance the distinct mechanics of fixed-price buying and live/ongoing auctions within one coherent experience. • Partner with Product and Engineering to raise the bar on usability, hierarchy, and interaction patterns. Engagement & Trust • Design the moments that make bidding, buying, and selling feel exciting, not stressful — anticipation without anxiety. • Champion clarity and transparency at every step: pricing, fees, authentication, and order status. • Use data and collector feedback to continuously improve conversion, trust, and satisfaction. Cross-Surface Coherence • Partner with the Live/Breaking and TOPPS.com design leads so shared patterns — search, navigation, checkout — feel consistent across all three surfaces. • Partner with Creative Studio so the Marketplace reflects Fanatics Collect's trusted, auction-house brand voice. • Partner with the Shared Experience team on the design system, search, and navigation patterns the Marketplace depends on. Craft & Quality • Hold a high craft bar — every listing, every card, every transaction should feel worthy of what collectors love. • Push quality from concept through shipped execution, partnering closely with Engineering to preserve design intent. • Mentor other designers and help raise the craft standard across the team. Who You Are • 7+ years of product design experience, ideally including marketplace, e-commerce, or auction/commerce design. • A systems thinker who can design for both fast, fixed-price buying and the anticipation of live auctions. • Comfortable moving from user flows and information architecture to detailed UI and interaction design. • Data-informed: you use research and metrics to drive decisions, not just instinct. • A clear communicator who can align Product, Engineering, Brand, and adjacent design leads. • Genuine appreciation for the trading card and collecting hobby, or real excitement to dive in.
