The Role - Staff Product Manager, Digital Match Capture

The Genius Sports Product Team is looking for an exceptional Staff Product Manager to lead our digital match capture products. As part of the Data & AI product team, you will work with leading global sporting leagues (e.g., NBA, EPL, NFL, and others) to build, enhance, and maintain the products that capture, process, and deliver tracking data to teams, leagues, and external developers around the world.

You will own positional tracking for both first-party and third-party use-cases across the entire product lifecycle, from ideation and discovery through build, launch, and ongoing growth and improvement. You will identify opportunities to lead the market, improve positional tracking, and determine the best ways to use match capture to deliver value to the Genius Sports product portfolio and its customers. Positional tracking forms the bedrock of Genius tracking-derived products, including performance, officiating, automated data collection, media visualizations, and emerging digital recreation use-cases.

You will also help shape what comes next in match capture. The lines between positional tracking, computer vision, digital twins, and 3D capture are blurring quickly, and you will explore where they meet: running prototypes and early deployments with our engineers and partners, learning what works, and bringing the most promising ideas into the core match capture platform.

The ideal candidate is seasoned at delivering modern, data-driven B2B SaaS products, is comfortable owning a product used both as a customer-facing offering and as a platform for the broader Genius portfolio, and can move fluidly between deep technical/data conversations and strategic, executive-level discussions. You will define and evangelize a clear product roadmap, manage cross-functional stakeholders, and drive measurable outcomes using both qualitative and quantitative data.

• Domain experience in sports, computer vision, real-time systems, developer/platform products, 3D capture, or digital twins is a plus; familiarity with WebGPU, Unity, Unreal, or comparable engines/runtimes is a plus.

What Success Looks Like

• Digital match capture is a uniform, market-leading product across basketball, soccer, and American football.
• Tracking is a core platform feature that can be used by any first-party or third party developer as a core data service.
• Product decisions are consistently grounded in customer needs and data to drive our Genius revenue streams, with clear KPIs tracked and acted on.
• Next-generation capture ideas are tested with real evidence from prototypes and early deployments, and the best of them make the tracking platform stronger.
