#WeAreParamount 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.

Overview

Own the product direction for one of the largest sports sites on the internet.CBSSports.com is the front door to CBS Sports for tens of millions of fans. It is where scores, live gametrackers, news, fantasy, and bettingcome together during the biggest moments in sports: the NFL, March Madness, The Masters, college football, Champions League, andmore. This role owns the product strategy for the full web experience. You will lead a small PM team, work directly with design andengineering 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.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Set product strategy for CBSSports.com and translate it into clear priorities teams can act on. Own the web 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.
• Treat web as the reach and discovery engine for CBS Sports. Grow organic and direct traffic, sharpen high-intent surfaces like
  gametrackers and scores, and turn anonymous visitors into registered users.
• Own the role web plays in the broader portfolio: growing registered users at scale and converting web audiences into sticky products
  like the CBS Sports App.
• 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 to 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.
• Partner with editorial to make web the place where great storytelling and great product meet.
• Represent product to executive leadership. Turn fan behavior, competitive dynamics, and product performance into a clear narrative that builds trust.

How We Build (The Builder Culture)

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 acton what you learn without waiting for permission.

What success looks like:

• The web product strategy is coherent.
• People across the organization understand what we're building, why, and what we're choosing not
  to do.
• Web reliably grows reach, grows registered users, and feeds the rest of the portfolio.
• The funnel from anonymous visitor to registered user to sticky-product user gets measurably stronger.
• High-intent surfaces like gametrackers and scores get sharper and convert better, especially during tentpole events when traffic peaks. 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.

Basic Qualifications

• 10+ years in product, with meaningful time in a leadership role. Consumer web at scale, ideally high-traffic and real-time. You've ownedthe strategy, shipped against it, and developed other PMs.

Additional Qualifications

• Strong prioritization instincts. You can hold site-level strategy and problem-level detail in the same day.
• Fluency with the levers that move large-scale web: discovery and SEO, performance, identity and authentication, and conversion.
• 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 accountability.
• An AI-native working style. You already use LLMs to think through problems and accelerate your own work, and you have a point of view
  on how AI changes what a product team can do.
