Own release tracking and delivery reporting, proactively surfacing risks and blockers before they become misses.
Serve as the connective tissue between platform teams, engineering, QA, design, and external partners on a daily basis.
Strategy

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.

Clear, precise written communication — your tickets, PRDs, and updates don't require follow-up questions.
Track record of taking products from concept to launch.

Prior consulting or embedded client engagement experience; comfort operating in a matrixed environment.
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.
