Job Description

Senior Principal Product Manager, Sports Commerce at Disney Entertainment and ESPN Product & Technology leads cross-functional commerce initiatives to grow acquisition, monetization, and retention across sports commerce, balancing scalable platform work with sports-specific needs. This onsite role is based in San Francisco, CA, with an annual salary range of USD 227,200 to 304,700. A Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 12 years of product management or leadership experience are required.

Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end product strategy for sports commerce, identifying the highest-impact opportunities to drive growth across acquisition, monetization, and retention.
Serve as the product point of view for the broader sports commerce roadmap.
Balance platform-scale thinking with vertical-specific needs, ensuring sports use cases are well-served without fragmenting the core commerce stack.
Drive cross-functional execution with Engineering, Design, Marketing, Analytics, and partner product teams, often without direct authority.
Define clear product vision, problem statements, and roadmaps for initiatives such as:
- Sports-related subscription flows and upgrades
- Bundles, add-ons, and premium access
- Retention and re-engagement mechanics for sports fans
Establish success metrics and measurement frameworks, and own outcomes, not just outputs.
Make principled tradeoffs between speed, impact, complexity, and long-term strategy.
Communicate clearly and concisely with senior leaders, synthesizing complex information into actionable decisions.

Requirements

12+ years of product management or product leadership experience, ideally in consumer media, sports, commerce, or subscription businesses.
Proven ability to lead highly cross-functional initiatives across multiple teams and organizations.
Strong strategic thinking paired with hands-on execution; you can zoom out to define vision and zoom in to ship.
Experience building or scaling commerce, payments, subscription, or monetization platforms.
Deep understanding of consumer acquisition, pricing, and retention dynamics.
Exceptional communication and influence skills; comfortable operating with ambiguity and navigating complex org structures.
Data-driven mindset with experience defining metrics, running experiments, and using insights to drive decisions.
Bachelor's degree required.
