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.

What We Build (The Builder Culture)

• We've moved past feature factories, PRDs, and slow-motion handoffs. We work in small, cross-functional squads with fixed timeboxes, clear ownership, and a focus on outcomes over output.
• When we need to figure out whether an idea works, we build a prototype and put it in front of fans. The goal is not a finished feature. It's removing ambiguity fast enough to make better decisions.
• PMs prototype in code using tools like Claude and Cursor. Not to ship production features, but to make ideas tangible, test them with users, and learn before we commit.
• Designers do the same. Engineers ship with AI as a pair programmer. We build internal tools with prompts when a workflow can be automated.

Basic Qualifications

• 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.

Additional Qualifications

• Strong prioritization instincts.
• You can hold app-level strategy and problem-level detail in the same day.
• You're comfortable 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.
• You're fluent with product analytics, experimentation, and outcome accountability.
• You have an AI-native working style.
