• Lead with a deep understanding of sports fans—behaviors, emotional drivers, engagement patterns, and expectations across live, social, and on‑demand experiences.
• Bring a strong understanding of the Bleacher Report audience and brand voice, and advocate for fan‑centered product decisions that resonate with the modern sports fan.
• Present and advocate for product design ideas and solutions to senior leadership with clarity, confidence, and strong rationale.

• Champion the responsible and effective use of AI across the design lifecycle, balancing innovation with user trust, transparency, and ethical considerations.
• Drive high‑quality product design work across the full lifecycle, from concept through launch and iteration.
• Help ensure the team consistently delivers differentiated, fan‑first experiences that reflect the speed, energy, and cultural relevance of sports.

• Build strong partnerships and collaborate closely with internal stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Research, Editorial, Content, Marketing, Brand, and key business stakeholders.
• Partner cross‑functionally to align design priorities, solve complex product challenges, and deliver impactful fan experiences.
• Work closely with business stakeholders to understand goals, priorities, constraints and success metrics, and translate that understanding into clear, effective product design decisions.
• Navigate cross‑functional and business dynamics thoughtfully to build alignment, establish trust, and move work forward effectively.
• Balance user needs, technical feasibility, brand expression, and business priorities to deliver cohesive, high‑impact experiences.
