Role
Who you are
- If you thrive in ambiguity, love building new products from first principles, and want your work to directly move the top line, this role is for you
- You’ve led complex product initiatives with high ambiguity and high impact, ideally owning major 0-to-1 efforts
- You balance qualitative user insight with quantitative decision-making and are fluent in defining success metrics and evaluating results
- You don’t need to be an ML engineer, but you understand how to turn AI capabilities into real user value and business outcomes
- You know how to move fast without sacrificing quality, and you’re comfortable making decisions with imperfect information
- You can clearly articulate strategy, influence without authority, and bring cross-functional partners along with you
- You treat the product like a business and feel personally accountable for its success
What the job involves
- Gametime is building the future of how fans discover, decide on, and experience live events. As we enter the next chapter of our product evolution, AI is unlocking entirely new ways to create value for users—and entirely new growth opportunities for the business
- We’re looking for a Principal Product Manager to lead this transformation. This is a rare opportunity to define and launch multiple 0-to-1, AI-enabled products that will materially impact Gametime’s growth
- You’ll operate with significant autonomy, partner closely with design and engineering, and shape new value propositions that drive step-change improvements in conversion, engagement, and GMV
- Lead the end-to-end product lifecycle for new AI-enabled experiences—spanning discovery, experimentation, launch, and iteration—both within and adjacent to Gametime’s core mobile and web products
- Identify and execute opportunities that unlock meaningful improvements in conversion and open up new growth channels. You’ll be accountable for outcomes, not just output
- Translate emerging AI capabilities into clear, compelling user value that meaningfully improves how fans discover and purchase tickets
- Design and prioritize experiments, partner closely with design and engineering, and rapidly learn what works (and what doesn’t) through real user feedback and data
- Deeply understand user needs, behaviors, and decision-making, and ensure those insights drive product strategy and execution
- Work closely with engineering, design, data, marketing, and leadership to align strategy, execution, and measurement
- True 0→1 ownership: You’ll define products that don’t exist yet, not incrementally optimize ones that already do
- Massive surface area for impact: Even small wins can translate into meaningful GMV gains at Gametime’s scale
- AI at the core, not the edges: This role is about building fundamentally new experiences enabled by recent advances in AI
- Visibility and influence: Your work will directly shape Gametime’s product direction and growth strategy
- Strong cross-functional partners: You’ll work alongside talented designers and engineers who are excited to build what’s next
Our take
Gamtime is a last-minute event ticketing platform that aims to stand out from the myriad of other similar apps by allowing customers to buy a ticket after the event has started. The reason for this is that ticket prices for sports often fall dramatically after the game has started, making the most of the easy-to-use, quick-buy app's features.
Though this may only cater to a small percentage of its customers, it exemplifies a certain boundary pushing from the company. This is clearly something that the market supports, given its substantial fundraising from the likes of Bolt Ventures and Maven Ventures. In addition, Gametime’s position as both a seller and buyer marketplace has placed it in a great position as a commentator on live events, collecting valuable data.
With the demand for great-value event tickets likely to continue to grow, Gametime is in a prime position to capitalize on this trend. Although the company only sells tickets for the North American continent, it is seeing huge revenue across the sports, theatre, and music concert markets - and aims to use its funds to further enhance its products and market its app to younger eventgoers.
