The NFL is looking for a passionate product manager who will be responsible for evangelizing and driving the use of fan-facing data and statistics in the NFL’s digital product ecosystem and leading the delivery of new experiences that take advantage of the League’s unique data assets.

Data and statistics are an increasingly important part of the football fan’s experience and as such are a core component of what NFL products must deliver. As the Product Manager for data and stats experiences, you will execute your product vision to continuously improve how the NFL leverages data and statistics across all of the NFL’s digital products such as mobile apps, websites and connected TV devices, doing so in lockstep with your product and technology team colleagues. You will be asked to understand the fan and how they use data and statistics to enjoy and understand the game, go deep on their favorite teams, players, matchups and more. You will build an in-depth understanding of the NFL’s data and stats assets and connect those assets to customer needs through compelling experiences that deliver timely, accurate, useful, and insightful stats and tools.

You have demonstrated experience leading digital product initiatives from start-to-finish and developing product opportunities focused on driving key metrics around engagement, conversion, and retention. You are detail-oriented and someone who relentlessly drives product improvements through user testing, data analysis, and A/B testing. You also understand the nuance between a metrics-driven approach and an opinion-based approach to the overall product development process. You are a user at heart and have strong opinions on providing the best user experience possible to football fans everywhere.

This is a position that requires someone who is a self-starter with excellent communication skills who can develop a unique product vision. More importantly, you can sell the vision both internally and externally to rally stakeholders, partners, and your coworkers around a shared set of goals.

A strong interest in sports and the NFL is required.
