Director, Product

The Role

• Own the product strategy and roadmap across coaching, scouting and recruiting products, across Football and Hockey. You’ll be responsible for driving coherence across a portfolio built through both organic development and acquisition
• Define a cohesive, opinionated AI strategy that travels across your products. Identify the shared workflows (opponent scouting, self-scouting, talent evaluation, recruiting operations, free agency and the transfer portal, contract and scholarship decisioning) where AI agents create the most leverage, and turn that thesis into a multi-quarter roadmap
• Lead and develop a team of product managers operating across multiple sports markets and geographies
• Drive cross-functional alignment across engineering, design, data science, product marketing, GTM, and finance to move fast and ship product that wins in market
• Stay relentlessly close to customers: front offices, coaches, coordinators, GMs, scouting directors, and league operators
• Partner with Data Science, Engineering, and the PFF, SportLogiq, Zelus, and platform data teams to convert data products and proprietary models into deliberate calls on which capabilities are platform-level versus product-specific.
• Find the workflows that look the same in front offices and the workflows where the two markets genuinely diverge, building a portfolio approach that maximizes shared platform leverage without forcing one sport's mental model onto another
• Be accountable to revenue targets for the category, partnering with GTM to win league-wide deals and expand across football and hockey leagues and into international markets

What You Must Bring

• A track record of shipping and iterating across a multi-product portfolio: not just owning one product, but driving strategy and execution across several simultaneously. This is core to the role and non-negotiable
• AI proficiency and the ability to build via a modern ADLC: a strong, current point of view on where agentic AI experiences win and where traditional SaaS workflows still serve users better, and the technical fluency to partner with engineering and data science to design and ship them.
• Sports fluency: a deep understanding of how sports operate, enabling you to sit down with a GM, coach, or personnel director and credibly speak their language. This can come from many places: a genuine passion for sports that includes following the ins and outs of a given league, time spent in a front office, or experience competing as an athlete at a high level
• Demonstrated experience leading PMs and product leaders through complex, multi-market environments (including through periods of organizational change like acquisitions or rapid growth), OR operating as a General Manager of a new business unit with full ownership of strategy, roadmap, GTM, and P&L outcomes
• 8+ years in product management or software development within B2B SaaS, sports technology, vertical AI, or comparable industries
• The communication and stakeholder management skills to operate credibly at the executive level, with customers and league partners, and with technical and GTM teams, all in the same week

Even Better If

• You've built and sold product directly to professional sports teams and understand the buying dynamics at that level
• You have subject matter expertise in football or hockey, whether from coaching, scouting, front office, analytics, or product work in those markets
• You've shipped AI-native features (not just AI-adjacent, but workflows where the AI is the product), with direct experience working with proprietary data sets and the models built on top of them, including the tradeoffs between in-house ML, third-party foundation models, and hybrid approaches
• You have experience working in recently acquired or integrating product portfolios, with a bias toward action and clarity in ambiguous environments

Why This Role

There is not a better seat in sports technology right now.

If you want to work directly these front offices while shaping a the future of a product category that doesn't exist yet in its full form, this is the role for you.
