Director, Product Management (CBS Sports)

Paramount•Nashville, TN

11d

About The Position

Own the product direction for one of the largest sports apps in the country. The CBS Sports App is home to some of the biggest sporting events in the world: The Masters, NFL, March Madness, Champions League, and more. This role owns the product strategy for the full app experience. You will lead a small PM team, work directly with design and engineering leads across squads, and stay close to the work. This is a player-coach role. You set the direction, and you’re in the details.

Requirements

10+ years in product, with meaningful time in a leadership role. Consumer environment, ideally mobile-first and at scale. You've owned the strategy, shipped against it, and developed other PMs.
Strong prioritization instincts. You can hold app-level strategy and problem-level detail in the same day.
Comfort prototyping in code with AI tools. You don't need to be an engineer, but you can use Claude or Cursor to build something testable and learn from it.
Fluency with product analytics, experimentation, and outcome accountability.
An AI-native working style. You already use LLMs to think through problems and accelerate your own work, and you have a point of view on how AI changes what a product team can do.

Responsibilities

Set product strategy for the CBS Sports App and translate it into clear priorities teams can act on.
Own the app's plan. Decide what we're building, sequence the work, balance risk, track outcomes, and make the hard calls on what to continue, change, or stop.
Prototype to think. We build working prototypes to remove ambiguity, test ideas with real fans, and learn before we commit. You'll use tools like Claude and Cursor to make concepts tangible, iterate on what you learn, and arrive at a better strategy because you've held the thing in your hand.
Coach and develop 1–2 PMs through structured feedback, calibration, and deliberate growth planning.
Partner with design and engineering directors on cross-squad alignment, delivery cadence, and how we evolve our process.
Represent product to executive leadership. Turn fan behavior, competitive dynamics, and product performance into a clear narrative that builds trust.
