Responsibilities
As the Director of Product for Sports & Entertainment, you will define and execute the strategy for two high-impact and high-traffic verticals within Yahoo Search.
Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Product for Search Verticals & Growth, you will lead the vision and roadmap to create compelling, authoritative, and engaging experiences for millions of users seeking sports and entertainment content every day.
This is a senior individual contributor (IC) role focused on product strategy and execution, requiring strong cross-functional leadership and influence across engineering, design, editorial, data science, and business teams.
Sports is a mission-critical property for Yahoo, with Yahoo Sports representing a cornerstone of the company’s brand and ecosystem.
Entertainment, spanning celebrities, movies, TV, music, and cultural moments — similarly generates sustained, high-volume search interest and real-time spikes tied to news, premieres, interviews, and live events.
You will own the end-to-end product vision for these verticals across Yahoo Search, building rich, dynamic experiences that satisfy high-intent queries, deepen engagement, and support monetization opportunities.
