## About the role

Sports is one of Polymarket's biggest growth vectors. We have active league partnerships and a product that maps naturally onto the sports betting and fan engagement space. What we don't yet have is someone who owns the creative layer of that entirely. This role exists to fix that.

## What they're looking for

- Proven experience leading design for sports or league partnership activations, with a portfolio that shows real co-branded creative work at scale
- Hands-on experience navigating licensing and rights compliance, including league brand guidelines, marks usage, and player imagery restrictions
- Portfolio that spans paid social (Meta and TikTok), display, CTV, and experiential or event assets
- Experience directing and QA-ing creative output from other designers, not just managing your own workload
- A sharp point of view on sports visual identity. You know what makes sports creative feel considered versus generic, and your past work shows it
- Comfort moving from brief to live in fast-moving, high-visibility environments where ambiguity is the norm and timelines are real
