FloSports, a leader and innovator in digital sports media, is currently seeking a Senior Product Manager to join our Sport Data team.

About the Team: At FloSports, we aim to elevate our events and content with rich sport data, at every point in the event lifecycle: before, during, and after. The Sport Data team is responsible for building an organized sport data ingestion system for various sports, and making this data readily available to our various client-side teams (the FloSports apps). Before the event, we’ll display sport data in the form of team and athlete rankings, seedings, and entries. During the event, sport data powers on-screen scoring graphics, live scores throughout the apps, personalized notifications, automated recordings, and more. Post-event, it tells the story of the event, and the completed data feeds back into the engine to power rankings, and more. 

About the Role: This role will lead product management for the Sport Data development team. You’ll develop a shared vision and thoughtfully prioritized roadmap for sport data at FloSports, aligning engineers, designers, and other product managers. 

With the sport data team servicing various internal teams, you’ll build strong relationships with your teammates across the company, and use clear communication to manage work dependencies and timelines. You’ll manage relationships, even when you aren’t able to say yes to everyone. 

In order to deliver authentic experiences to niche sports audiences, you’ll dive into passionate communities to gain a deep understanding of scoring and results for that sport. From hot laps in racing, repechages in jiu-jitsu, and the differences between a raw score, performance score, and event score in cheerleading, you will become an expert in the sports we cover to generate clear product requirements for your team. 

REQUIREMENTS:

• 5+ years of experience in Product Management
• Ability to analyze and understand business impact of competing ideas and initiatives. You’re a ruthless prioritizer amongst a long list of options, ensuring your team is focused on the highest impact items.
• Ability to think holistically and connect the right dots between many different systems
• Creative problem solver. Able to identify real obstacles and effective solutions.
• Ability to quickly absorb technical concepts and communicate them to a non-technical audience.
• “Think like an owner” mentality and demonstrated ability to achieve stretch goals in an innovative and fast-paced environment.
• Top-notch written and verbal communication skills. Understanding of how to adapt your language for the audience. Comfortable communicating with everyone from the C-Suite down.
• Experience working on an agile development team.
• Highly organized, with a knack for crystal clear documentation
• Smart, confident, highly competent, and humble. An all-around good person.
• You welcome candid feedback, and can constructively give it as well.

BONUS POINTS:

• Prior experience in sport data is a huge plus.
• Experience in media, especially OTT media is a plus
• Experience working with live production teams, especially in sports
• Understanding of best practices of effective API development
• Experience working with remote teams 
• Experience or interest in one of the many sports we cover
