Senior Director, Product Management (Competitive)

Building a team starts with valuing the team. We hire the best of the best to ensure you’re working with people you can constantly learn from. You’re trusted to get your work done your way while testing the limits of what’s possible and what’s next. We work hard to provide a culture where everyone feels supported, and our employees feel it—their votes helped us become one of Newsweek's Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces in 2023.

We also value sports. Not just because of the big wins and highlight-worthy plays, but because of the lasting impact sports can have: the lifelong lessons in teamwork and dedication; the influence of inspiring mentors; the priceless opportunities to play at the next level. Sports can change lives—that’s what we value.

Our team helps the world see sports differently through products that make it easier to capture video, analyze data, share highlights and do a lot more.

Your Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Director to join our team, someone who’s passionate about translating the needs of North American club and high school sports organizations into a product vision—then guiding our team to bring it to life.  

As a Product Director, you’ll: 

• Own the vision. You’ll work with other leaders to set the strategy for our Competitive business unit, then maintain a product vision and roadmap that’s strategically aligned.

• Set customer-centric product outcomes. You’ll be the expert in the customers and the products in the Competitive market. You’ll use engagement and usage funnels as indicators of business outcomes (e.g., renewal, new sales, cost reduction). 
• Be responsible for products. Through the lifecycle of discovery, growth, maturity and sunset, the buck stops with you.
• Guide discovery. You’ll help your team come up with new ideas, quickly throwing out the bad and ramping up the good.
• Collaborate. As a partner to the Senior Engineering Director and other product leaders, together you’ll make sure the collective product team on the business unit is healthy, effective and efficient.
• Be a coach. You’ll manage, grow and inspire a team of Product Managers at various career levels (Group Product Manager to Associate Product Manager).
