Who We Are: LeagueApps is the operating system and community for youth and local sports leaders, equipping them with the technology, tools, and professional network they need to grow, scale, and play for the future. Our platform powers thousands of clubs, tournaments, leagues, camps, and facilities, serving over 10 million participants nationwide. Backed by professional leagues, teams, and athletes as investors and partners, we’re helping modernize the youth sports industry with our best-in-class SaaS platform.
We operate at the intersection of sports, technology, and community. From registration to payments to communications, our platform makes running sports seamless for organizations across the country. Beyond software, we foster a community of leaders, sharing insights on critical issues like increasing girls’ participation in sports, preventing youth injuries, and understanding how technology is shaping the future of play.
Mission-driven at our core, our purpose is to create amazing sports experiences for all. To further this mission, we founded and continue to support the FundPlay Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to strengthening sports-based youth development organizations. FundPlay helps bring meaningful sports opportunities to hundreds of thousands of underserved kids and communities every year.
Role Mission: As a Senior Product Manager, you will own one of the most critical areas of the LeagueApps platform.
You will operate as the business owner for your product area. That means developing a clear point of view on where we should invest, understanding the economics behind those choices, making difficult tradeoffs, and being accountable for the outcomes. You will understand how your area influences retention, expansion, adoption, customer value, cost-to-serve, and the broader performance of the LeagueApps platform.
You will lead an empowered cross-functional squad across Product, Engineering, and Design, but your ownership extends well beyond the squad. You will work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Finance, and company leadership to ensure we are solving the right problems, making sound investments, and delivering measurable business and customer impact.
We are not looking for someone to manage a roadmap or feature queue. We are looking for someone who wants to run a product area like it is their business.
What You’ll Do:
Own the business and product strategy for your area. Develop a clear strategy for how your product area creates value for customers and LeagueApps. Understand the market, customer needs, competitive landscape, and economics of the area, and translate those insights into a focused set of priorities. Connect product decisions to measurable outcomes including retention, expansion, adoption, engagement, operational efficiency, and platform value.
Understand the customer deeply. Spend meaningful time with club directors, league and tournament operators, coaches, administrators, and families. Understand how they plan seasons, run programs, respond to change, communicate, and operate their businesses. Push beyond feature requests to identify the underlying problem, its importance, and whether solving it creates enough value to warrant investment.
Make investment decisions, not feature decisions. Evaluate opportunities based on customer value, market opportunity, business impact, effort, and strategic importance. Build the case for where LeagueApps should invest, and where we should not. Be comfortable sizing opportunities, evaluating ROI, understanding tradeoffs, and defending your recommendations to Product leadership, Finance, GTM leaders, and executives.
Drive commercial outcomes. Understand how your area contributes to the broader LeagueApps business. Partner with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and Finance to understand how the product affects acquisition, retention, expansion, adoption, and competitive differentiation. Help…
