Director, Product Management

#We Are Paramount  on a mission to unleash the power of content… you in?

We’ve got the brands, we’ve got the stars, we’ve got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet – now all we’re missing is… YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co‑create moments that matter – both for our audiences and our employees – and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.

Own the product direction for one of the largest sports apps in the country. The 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.

• Set product strategy for the CBS Sports App and translate it into clear priorities teams can act on.
• Own the app's plan. Decide what we’re building, sequence the work, balance risk, track outcomes, and make the hard calls on what to continue, change, or stop.
• Prototype 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.
• Coach and develop 1–2 PMs through structured feedback, calibration, and deliberate growth planning.
• Partner with design and engineering directors on cross‑squad alignment, delivery cadence, and how we evolve our process.
• Represent product to executive leadership. Turn fan behavior, competitive dynamics, and product performance into a clear narrative that builds trust.

We’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.

AI 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.

The 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.

• The app’s product strategy is coherent. People across the organization understand what we’re building, why, and what we’re choosing not to do.
• Ideas are tested before they’re committed. Teams prototype, learn from fans, and start building with real clarity. Fewer false starts, less rework.
• PMs on your team grow their craft visibly and operate with stronger judgment over time.
• Prioritization decisions are defensible, tied to measurable fan impact, and adjusted when the signal says so.
• Stakeholders trust your perspective because you bring receipts, not just opinions.

• 10+ years in product, with meaningful time in a leadership role. Consumer environment, ideally mobile‑first and ’ve owned the strategy, shipped against it, and developed other PMs.

• Strong prioritization instincts. You can hold app‑level strategy and problem‑level detail in the same day.
• Comfort 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.
• Fluency with product analytics, experimentation, and outcome…
