What the job involves
- For many decades, the way fans experience and enjoy sports changed very little
- Sports fans would travel to stadiums/arenas to participate in the live experience or carved out a few hours to sit down in their living room (or the local pub) to tune into the game
- While the internet and mobile devices have made it easier to consume sports from anywhere, technology has, for many years, limited innovation around new ways to engage with sports
- Today, computers have caught up with our imagination driving shifts in consumer behavior that are redefining the way fans enjoy sports almost overnight
- This has paved the way for a new era of intelligent sports, one where fan experiences are more intelligent, interactive, individualized, and immersive than ever before:
- Intelligent: Over the past several decades, data, statistics, data science, and increasingly machine learning/AI have changed the way players train, the way teams get built, and the way tickets/games are priced, and the way fans watch sports
- Immediate: When it comes to sports, moments matter
- Placing a bet a second too late matters
- Watching a highlight after all your friends have told you about it matters
- Today’s fans expect near-real time information and experiences
- Immersive: Sports experiences will become more immersive on the web, on our phones, on our smart TV’s, and on smart glasses
- It will no longer be enough to be watching the action; fans will want to experience and participate in it from the court, pitch, or field
- As a Product Manager, Fan Engagement - Widgets & Websites, you will support the VP of Product and collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance and optimize our fan engagement offerings across these two key product areas
- Your primary focus will be on managing the development and maintenance of innovative widgets and a platform that allows for the creation of websites for Genius's clients
- Optimize and evolve our web and mobile offerings used across the globe by leagues, teams, and sportsbooks looking to engage their fans in sports experiences
- Develop new widgets and embeddable content that leverages real-time sports data and next generation statistics/insights to drive repeat fan engagement
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure our fan engagement products meet the highest standards and user needs
- Identify opportunities to improve existing products and introduce new features to increase fan interaction and satisfaction
- Leverage data and user feedback to guide product decisions, prioritize initiatives, and refine the product roadmap
- Stay informed on market trends, competitive products, and industry advancements to keep our offerings cutting-edge and relevant
- Focus on creating intuitive, seamless, and personalized experiences across our widget and website products
Our take
Genius Sports is a sports data and technology provider that acquires precise data about worldwide sports events. It then delivers data in the form of video streaming and integrity services to the sports, betting, and media ecosystem in order to empower them to create unique fan experiences.
The company differentiates itself through the fact that it has exclusive rights to access the official data of its over 240,000 covered events, being the official provider of critical data about these events. Since launching they have become the trusted partner of organisations such as the NFL, NBA, FIFA, EPL and NASCAR.
Genius Sports operates in a competitive field, with the likes of Sportradar and Stats Perform. However, the company's range of strategic acquisitions, partnerships, dMY Technology Group merger, and its impressive NYSE valuation have further increased its stake in this competitive industry.
