Strategy
Drive roadmap and strategy conversations for video: opportunity identification, initiative sizing, and prioritization.
Help shape the video roadmap with the Lead PM: what goes on it, not just what ships.
Identify new product opportunities across streaming and monetization. Bring structured thinking to early-stage ideas and develop them into business cases.
Stay close to industry trends in streaming media and emerging platforms, bring relevant signals back to the team, and influence direction.
Stakeholder & Product Development
Build direct relationships with client stakeholders across product, engineering, and business teams.
Lead the development of user-facing features: gather requirements, synthesize feedback, define success metrics.
Drive new initiative discovery (interviews, use-case development, competitive research) as the team explores new product surface areas.
Keep video consistent across web, mobile, CTV, and every app, and work through tradeoffs between platform teams.
Report on outcomes in business terms (engagement, playback quality, monetization), using QoE and analytics data.
Own product areas end to end, from problem definition through launch.
Delivery & Execution
Keep the video backlog healthy: grooming, ticket quality, user stories, sprint tracking, and release readiness.
Coordinate across the vendor ecosystem, including the video player, encoding/pipeline, video analytics and observability, and casting and cross-device continuity. Hold vendors to their commitments and evaluate technical tradeoffs.
Translate product direction into well-scoped spec docs and keep them accurate as work evolves.
Track releases and report on delivery, surfacing risks and blockers early.
Serve as the connective tissue between platform teams, engineering, QA, design, and external partners.
5+ years of product management experience on a digital product team.
Sharp product instincts: you lead roadmap conversations, spot what’s missing, and push back when something isn’t right.
Track record of taking products from concept to launch.
Curiosity about the business, not just the backlog. You want to understand why things are being built, not just what.
Clear, precise written communication. Your PRDs and updates don’t require follow-up questions.
Solid organization and follow-through.
Comfort working with external technical vendors or partners and holding people to commitments.
Ability to analyze product data and translate insights into actionable improvements.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including with senior client leadership.
Project delivery experience, such as facilitating agile ceremonies (standup, sprint planning, retrospectives) and managing timelines, risks, and dependencies.
Familiarity with third-party streaming platforms, analytics tools, and player integrations.
Working knowledge of AI tools for PM work, such as prompt engineering, AI-assisted research, and LLM tools for synthesis and planning, and an interest in applying them to PM workflows.
Prior consulting or embedded client experience, and comfort operating in a matrixed environment.
Experience with analytics or observability platforms (Adobe, Amplitude, Mixpanel, etc).
You’ll work embedded inside one of the most recognized sports leagues in the world, on a product used by tens of millions of fans.
You’ll get deep exposure to a sophisticated, high-stakes technology stack spanning live streaming, video delivery, and monetization, the kind of experience that accelerates a PM career.
Opportunity to grow. As you build trust and show product leadership, you can take on broader scope within the engagement.
