Senior Director, Product Management (Competitive)

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. You’ll also communicate your vision to your team(s), stakeholders and company leadership to ensure understanding and buy-in.
• 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).

• SaaS Expertise. Your background includes product leadership experience at a Software-as-a-service company.

• Passion for sports.  Whether you’ve played sports competitively or are just a fan, being able to relate to athletes and fans will go a long way to being an effective product leader at a sports technology company.  

Our Role

• Champion work-life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
• Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas. 
• Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
