The Role

As a Senior AI Product Manager on the AI Solutions Development and Product Team, you'll sit at the intersection of sports and AI, partnering with sports organizations to identify high-impact opportunities where AI can elevate athletic performance, optimize operations, and unlock new revenue streams.

You'll work across a unique landscape: TWG Global's own professional sports franchises serve as both partners and proving grounds for AI innovation, while our solutions extend well beyond our owned properties to serve professional leagues, collegiate athletic programs, and sports organizations of all sizes. This gives you a rare combination of direct access to elite sports environments and the opportunity to scale what works across the broader sports ecosystem.

Your primary responsibility will be translating the real-world needs of coaches, front offices, performance science teams, and league operations into AI-powered products that actually get used. You'll own the product lifecycle from discovery through delivery, applying a product operating model that prioritizes user adoption, measurable outcomes, and design excellence.

This role goes well beyond roadmap management. You'll need to understand the nuances of sports performance data (biomechanics, player tracking, injury risk modeling, game strategy) and work shoulder-to-shoulder with data scientists and engineers to turn those inputs into scalable, production-grade AI solutions. You'll also drive integration of advanced AI capabilities like time series forecasting, computer vision, and conversational AI into our sports product suite.

You'll be the connective tissue between our technical teams and our sports partners, internal and external, ensuring that what we build is grounded in how organizations actually operate, from the training facility to the front office to game day. This is an onsite position with time split between our downtown LA and Santa Monica offices.

What you'll do:

• Own the product vision and roadmap for AI solutions serving sports organizations-including TWG's owned franchises, professional leagues, and collegiate programs-with a focus on performance optimization, injury prevention, scouting and talent evaluation, and operational efficiency.
• Build deep relationships with sports organization stakeholders across professional and collegiate settings (performance directors, coaching staffs, analytics leads, front office executives) to understand their workflows, pain points, and strategic priorities.
• Drive end-to-end product development from discovery and requirements through design, build, and launch, ensuring solutions are built for real-world adoption, not just technical capability.
• Lead the integration of AI technologies, including time series forecasting, computer vision, reinforcement learning, and conversational AI, into the sports product suite, ensuring components are modular, scalable, and interoperable.
• Work across data science, engineering, design, and business development teams to deliver robust, high-quality AI solutions aligned with organizational standards and partner expectations.
• Define and track success metrics tied to user engagement and business outcomes, using data to continuously improve product-market fit across professional and collegiate sports verticals.
• Ensure all sports AI products adhere to responsible AI practices, including athlete data privacy, algorithmic transparency, and regulatory compliance.
• Manage product budgets and development timelines, ensuring investments align with revenue goals and deliver measurable ROI for both TWG and our sports partners.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in product management, AI solutions development, or a similar technical leadership role, with meaningful exposure to sports, sports technology, or performance science.
• Proven track record building and shipping AI/ML-powered products, ideally across domains like player tracking, biomechanical analysis, predictive modeling, or sports analytics.
• Deep understanding of how sports organizations operate and the ability to translate that context into product decisions.
• Experience working with cross-functional technical teams and external partners to drive strategic AI initiatives from concept to production.
• Familiarity with AI/ML governance frameworks, athlete data privacy considerations, and responsible AI practices.
• Experience with cloud-based AI platforms and partnerships with major AI and data vendors.
• Strong communicator who can move fluidly between a conversation with a head coach and a technical architecture review.
• Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Sports Science, Business Administration, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
