About Clutch
Clutch is on a mission to build a global community for racket sports players — powered by an AI camera infrastructure that lets players relive their best moments on court and track their progress through game analysis.
Our initial focus is padel, the fastest-growing sport in the world. Over the past year, we’ve designed and built our own camera, the Clutch Cam. In January 2025, we began our initial rollout in partnership with high-level clubs and investors. Today, Clutch is already operating in 25+ countries.
We’re a small, ambitious team with backgrounds ranging from PhDs at top universities to senior roles at leading tech companies and professional racket sports. We work remotely across the US, Europe, and Asia, and get together a few times a year to co-work.

About you
We’re looking for a Head of Design to own how Clutch looks, feels, and grows. You have several years of experience building high-performing product experiences at startups. You’re deeply curious, have strong taste, and play or genuinely care about racket sports.
This is a hands-on role. You’ll be designing product day to day — flows, UI, interactions — while also thinking bigger about how design drives growth, engagement, and brand at an early-stage company.
You’ll work across product, UX, branding, and marketing, shaping everything from in-app experiences to how Clutch shows up publicly. We expect you to be forward-thinking on how to leverage AI tools in the design process, be data-driven and comfortable using real usage and experiments to guide decisions.
We’re a small team, so you’ll wear many hats. This role is for someone who enjoys getting things shipped, working closely with engineers, and figuring things out as we go. You’ll have a lot of ownership, influence, and responsibility.
Your stack
- 5+ years of experience building consumer-facing digital products
- Strong hands-on product design skills with a proven end-to-end track record
- Deep familiarity with product analytics and using data to inform design decisions
- Expert-level proficiency in modern design tools (e.g. Figma, Adobe)
- A strong UI/UX portfolio — show us your best work
- Experience collaborating closely with engineers and product teams
- Clear communicator with strong empathy for users
Bonus qualifications
- Experience with industrial design/hardware
- Experience designing for sports tech / consumer fitness
- An understanding of and interest in game design
- A passion for racket sports
