Description
We’re looking for a Group Product Manager to join our Fan team. You and your team will help define the future of all fan engagement products at Hudl. To succeed, you'll need initiative, resilience, and a customer-first mindset.
As a Group Product Manager, you’ll:
- Own Hudl’s fan engagement roadmap. You’ll work with your leadership team to create a coherent product strategy and vision, connecting those to the wider company strategy. Our fan products include livestreaming, ticketing, advertising, and team engagement platforms. You’ll help determine what success looks like for your teams and products, and work across functions and departments to achieve that success.
- Lead continuous improvement. You’ll help improve delivery capability and enable the team to scale across a broad surface area.
- Foster transformation. You’ll strive for a better collaboration between business units, challenging the status quo when necessary. You’ll lead Engineering and Design in making decisions that balance cost, timeline and customer benefit. You’ll also work with Marketing to develop and support go-to-market plans.
- Advocate for the product. You’ll establish mutual respect and trust with each stakeholder, including Hudl’s senior leadership. You’ll develop a deep understanding of our customers and our business needs. You’ll motivate and inspire your squad, release team and any others in the company who contribute to the product.
Our priority is to hire someone for this role who lives near our office in Lincoln, Nebraska, but we're also open to remote candidates who live in the following states: AL, AZ, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MA, MI, MN, MO, NE, NH, NC, NV, OH, OK, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WI, WY.

Must-Haves
- Experience. You have a bachelor's degree in a technical discipline (e.g., engineering or science), and more than five years of experience in product management with a strong track record of shipping customer-facing software products.
- A proven people leader. You’ve spent at least two years managing a team of product managers, hiring key talent, and coaching a high performing team to deliver against the roadmap. You care deeply about your team and want to help them be successful. You’re also able to roll up your sleeves and help get the job done.
- A communicator. You’re very comfortable presenting and can effectively share your product roadmap and high level strategy.
- Cross-functional relationship management skills. You understand the importance of building strong relationships with Product, Sales, Marketing, Support and others. You can get buy-in on your ideas without resorting to command-and-control tactics.
- Creative. You have experience tackling complexity at all levels and can coach and guide teams to consider out of the box solutions.
- Naturally curious. You never stop learning—you’re eager for knowledge and new ideas, and can show how that improves the way you work. You love building prototypes, testing, learning and evolving.
- Pragmatic. You know how to balance the needs of the customer with business goals. You understand business models, forecasts, budgets and can bring it all together for your product line(s). You make your decisions by diving deep into the data whenever possible, but also know when to take calculated leaps of faith.
Nice-to-Haves
- Industry experience. You’ve spent time at a high-growth SaaS company specifically building streaming, ticketing, advertising and/or engagement platforms.
- Trend awareness. You pay attention to what’s happening in the sports industry. You’re able to adapt to market/tech trends when needed, and can guide your teams to do the same.
Our Role
- Champion work-life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
- Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas.
- Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
- Provide an environment to help you succeed. We've invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech stack and hardware to do your best work.
- Support your mental and physical health. We care about our employees’ wellbeing. Our Employee Assistance Program, employee resource groups and fitness partner Peerfit have you covered.
- Cover your medical insurance. We have multiple plans to pick from to ensure you’ll have the coverage you (and your dependents) want, including vision, dental, fertility healthcare and family forming benefits.
- Contribute to your 401(K). Yep, that’s free money. We’ll match up to 4% of your own contribution.
