Consensys is the leading blockchain and web3 software company, and they are seeking a Staff Product Manager to lead the Sports vertical within their MetaMask platform. The role involves owning the product vision and strategy, designing a sportsbook-native UX for web3, and driving user acquisition, engagement, and retention.
Responsibilities:
- Own the Sports product vision & strategy
- Define the north star for sports within MetaMask Trade: target users, core use cases, and product thesis (why on-chain, why prediction markets, why MetaMask)
- Map the competitive landscape across Web2 sportsbooks and Web3 prediction markets; identify where we should be familiar vs. where we should be different
- Build a clear multi-phase roadmap that gets us from v0 → v1 → scaled product, with explicit tradeoffs and milestones
- Design a sportsbook-native UX for web3
- Work with design to create intuitive sports flows:
- League and event discovery (NFL, NBA, MLB, global football/soccer, F1, etc.)
- Market displays (moneyline, spread, totals, props, parlays) that feel native to bettors
- Bet slip, confirmation, live updates, history, and cash-like UX expectations
- Make sure the experience is welcoming for Web2 sports fans who may be new to wallets, gas, and on-chain concepts, without dumbing down the product for degens
- Drive acquisition, engagement, and retention
- Define the funnel for sports:
- From existing MetaMask users discovering sports
- To net-new sports users being onboarded into MetaMask
- Partner with PMM and Growth to design campaigns, promotions, and retention loops (e.g., seasonal events, big tournaments, ongoing incentives—within regulatory and policy guardrails)
- Instrument the product with clear metrics (active bettors, handle, repeat usage, retention, unit economics) and run experiments to improve them
- Collaborate deeply with engineering & sports experts
- Work with engineering to define:
- How markets are created, updated, and settled
- Performance and reliability expectations for odds, market states, and settlement flows
- Translate discussions with sports consultants, quants, and traders into product requirements (market types, minimum/maximums, parlay logic, edge-case handling)
- Ensure the product is designed with compliance, risk, and user protection in mind (in partnership with Legal/Compliance)
- Execute with rigor
- Run end-to-end product cycles: discovery → spec → design → implementation → testing → launch → learn
- Define and enforce a clear Definition of Done for Sports features:
- Edge cases in odds display, settlement, cancel/void rules, and bet slips
- Performance and reliability thresholds for live events
- Telemetry and alerting for critical failures
- Lead post-mortems when incidents happen; turn them into durable improvements in process, tooling, and UX
Requirements:
- 6–10+ years of product management experience, including ownership of a core, revenue-impacting surface (not just side features)
- Direct experience in at least one of: Sportsbook / sports betting products (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, etc.), or Prediction markets / event-based markets (Polymarket, Kalshi, etc.)
- Deep, practical understanding of sports betting mechanics: bet types, odds formats, settlement rules, edge cases
- Sports fan behavior: how and when people bet, what they care about, how they evaluate trust and value
- Proven track record of shipping impactful features end-to-end with measurable results
- Collaborating tightly with engineering and design on complex UX and system behavior
- Strong analytical skills: Comfortable defining KPIs, reading dashboards, and running experiments
- Excellent written and verbal communication; you can explain complex flows simply to engineers, executives, and external partners
- Web3 / crypto experience: Prior work with wallets, DeFi, on-chain data, or prediction markets
- Familiarity with self-custody concepts and on-chain UX constraints
- Experience working with market makers, trading teams, or quants
- Regulated or semi-regulated financial/sports products
- Previous role at a high-growth consumer product where you shipped rapidly while maintaining quality
