Job Description As a Senior Product Consultant embedded with our client in sports entertainment, you will be responsible for driving the delivery of world-class video and advertising experiences across web, mobile, and connected devices.

You will be an active contributor to product strategy: leading roadmap conversations, identifying new opportunities, developing use cases, and helping define initiatives from the ground up. You'll own meaningful scope across the product lifecycle — from discovery and problem definition through to launch — with direct exposure to and influence with senior product and business leadership at one of the world's most recognized sports entertainment brands.
