We create for every age and audience, anchored by the strength of our content and experiences and the depth of our connection with fans. We are creator-first, audience-focused, tech-forward, globally scaled.\nHere, you’ll work with talented teams that move fast, think boldly and collaborate with purpose to deliver results. We aim high, champion the best ideas and win together, earning the trust of our employees, creators, partners and audiences every day.\nIf you’re energized by the opportunity to help build the next-generation global media and entertainment company powered by creativity and technology, we’d be thrilled to welcome you aboard. LET’S GO!\nNYC and Los Angeles are also possible locations in addition to Nashville\nOverview:\nOwn the product direction for one of the largest sports apps in the country.\nThe CBS Sports App is home to some of the biggest sporting events in the world: The Masters, NFL, March Madness, Champions League, and more. This role owns the product strategy for the full app experience. You will lead a small PM team, work directly with design and engineering leads across squads, and stay close to the work. This is a player-coach role. You set the direction, and you’re in the details.\nResponsibilities include, but are not limited to:\nSet product strategy for the CBS Sports App and translate it into clear priorities teams can act on.\nOwn the app's plan. Decidewhat we're building, sequence the work, balance risk, track outcomes, and make the hard calls on what to continue, change, or stop.\nPrototype 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.\nCoach and develop 1-2 PMs through structured feedback, calibration, and deliberate growth planning.\nPartner with design and engineering directors on cross-squad alignment, delivery cadence, and how we evolve our process.\nRepresent product to executive leadership. Turn fan behavior, competitive dynamics, and product performance into a clear narrative that builds trust.\nHow We Build (The Builder Culture):\nWe'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.\nAI is how we make this possible. 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. This is the operating expectation, and as a Director, you'll model it and push what's possible further.\nThe result is that we move faster than our size suggests. Small teams, short cycles, real signals from real fans, and the autonomy to act on what you learn without waiting for permission.\nWhat success looks like:\nThe app's product strategy is coherent. People across the organization understand what we're building, why, and what we're choosing not to do.\nIdeas are tested before they're committed. Teams prototype, learn from fans, and start building with real clarity. Fewer false starts, less rework.\nPMs on your team grow their craft visibly and operate with stronger judgment over time.\nPrioritization decisions are defensible, tied to measurable fan impact, and adjusted when the signal says so.\nStakeholders trust your perspective because you bring receipts, not just opinions.\nBasic Qualifications:\n10+ 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.\nAdditional Qualifications:\nStrong prioritization instincts. You can hold app-level strategy and problem-level detail in the same day.\nComfort 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.\nFluency with product analytics, experimentation, and outcome accountability.\nAn AI-native working style. You already use LLMs to think through problems and accelerate your own work, and you have a point of view on how AI changes what a product team can do.\nCBS Sports, a year-round leader in cross-platform sports coverage, broadcasts a portfolio of events on the CBS Television Network, including THE NFL ON CBS; college football, including the Big Ten ON CBS; college basketball, including the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship; golf, including The Masters®, PGA Championship and PGA TOUR; soccer, including the UEFA Champions League and NWSL; and CBS SPORTS SPECTACULAR.\nIn addition, the division includes CBS SPORTS NETWORK, the 24-hour cable home of CBS Sports which televises live sports programming throughout the year, including college football and basketball games, UEFA Champions League and Europa League action, Italy's Serie A matches, Concacaf national team competitions, as well as a full slate of original programming and studio coverage.\nCBS Sports also delivers an extensive lineup of global soccer coverage on Paramount+, including every UEFA club competition match, all Serie A matches as well as Concacaf national team competitions, and produces INSIDE THE NFL for Paramount+.
