• Work cross-functionally with engineering, computer vision, machine learning, analytics, design, research, commercial teams, and other EA SPORTS stakeholders to shape solutions, manage trade-offs, and bring high-quality products to market.

• Use customer feedback, product data, market insight, prototypes, and experiments to validate opportunities, measure success, and continuously improve products.
• Use your elite-football expertise to add credibility and insight in customer discussions, product demonstrations, and proofs of concept.
