Sports Product Manager

Location: US Remote (EST preferred)

About the Role

Do you love sports?  No, I mean do you really love sports?  Do you love the advertising space?  If you're reading this post then you're already potentially one step closer to the next epic journey in your sports advertising career.  At MediaRadar we wake up every day thinking about how we help our clients understand the world of advertising intelligence.  Whether it's competitive intelligence around what advertisers are spending and where, or it's diving into the creative messaging that brands are using in our creative intelligence platform, we seek to pull together the most comprehensive set of media coverage in the industry.  

We also wake up every single day thinking about how to build a culture of diverse thought leadership, team players and quite frankly just A+ humans that come to the table each day and enjoy problem solving with their colleagues no matter the topic.  I want this person to invest just as much energy in feeling good about WHO they are working with as they do in assessing WHAT they are working on.  

Now to the fun part.  We've pulled together unparalleled media coverage that spans $280B in advertising spend, and we are focused on continuing to expand and refine coverage across the entirety of that landscape.  We're pushing our chips in on the sports industry, and this is where we need you.  As we look to navigate the space and continue to add to our existing sports coverage the ideal candidate will help us traverse the market and find out what advertising data sets and media coverage matter most to those investing in sports.  You'll be a self motivated team player with a product development skillset and mentality that is primed to help us on the next leg of our expanded coverage journey together.  If this sounds like something for you then below are a few more details on ideal attributes for the role.
