FloSports, a leader and innovator in digital sports media, is currently seeking a Senior Product Manager to join our Sport Data team.
About the Sport Data 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 ingesting and collecting data from disparate sources, cleansing and normalizing them, and making them readily available via API to the various front end clients (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 roadmap for sport data at FloSports, aligning engineers, designers, and other product managers. Your 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 role can be based in Austin, TX or remote.
