Senior Director, Platform Product

The posting, as Rts wrote it

RTS works across gaming, creators, and brands. We produce global live events, develop original content, and build experiences that bring fan communities closer to the worlds they care about.

Our team spans partnerships, production, events, talent management, media, and community building. We’re operators and builders who enjoy solving hard problems together and moving quickly when opportunities arise.

As RTS continues to grow and expand globally, we’re investing in the technology and product infrastructure that will help us create better experiences for players, fans, organizers, partners, and the broader communities we serve.

Role Overview
We’re looking for a Senior Director, Platform Product to lead the product vision, strategy, roadmap, and execution of the Evo Tech Platform.

This person will serve as the senior internal product leader for the initiative, responsible for shaping the vision, understanding business and user needs, translating those needs into clear product priorities, and driving the roadmap from concept through launch and continued evolution.

You will work closely with stakeholders across the company to understand requirements, align priorities, and ensure the product supports both user needs and business objectives. You will also serve as the primary product counterpart to external technology partners supporting the initiative, helping set direction, make product decisions, and drive delivery against agreed goals.

This is not an engineering leadership role. You will not be expected to manage an engineering organization or own software architecture or infrastructure. You should, however, be technically fluent enough to work effectively with technical teams and partners, understand tradeoffs, ask the right questions, and translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders.

At our size, this is a hands-on product leadership role. The right person is comfortable moving between long-term strategy, stakeholder alignment, product requirements, prioritization, partner management, and launch execution.

Although we are a remote company, this role must reside in the Greater Los Angeles, Greater San Francisco, or Greater Las Vegas area.
