Product Manager - Sports Media API
About The Position
The Product Manager will serve as an execution partner across the Sports Media API portfolio, with a primary focus on U.S.-based sports products and content initiatives. This is a product management role focused on translating portfolio strategy into action by defining requirements, managing priorities and backlogs, triaging product issues, coordinating delivery, and moving initiatives from discovery through launch. The role spans multiple Sports Media products rather than a single sport or product line. The position supports day-to-day product ownership of major U.S. sports APIs and related content initiatives, including NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college sports, NASCAR, and golf. It provides additional product capacity and subject-matter expertise so that issues, opportunities, and roadmap initiatives can be addressed effectively without unnecessary single points of failure.
Requirements
- Demonstrated Product Management experience with direct ownership of products, product areas, or meaningful product initiatives.
- Strong understanding of customer discovery, prioritization, requirements definition, roadmaps, backlog management, delivery, and product lifecycle management.
- Strong execution skills and ability to move between strategy and detailed delivery.
- Experience partnering closely with Engineering, data, or operational teams.
- Ability to operate independently and make decisions in ambiguous environments.
- Working understanding of RESTful APIs and data-driven products.
- Strong analytical skills and experience using KPIs and customer signals to inform product decisions.
- Strong cross-functional communication and stakeholder-management skills.
- Familiarity with JIRA, Confluence, or comparable product management tools and agile development practices.
