You'll own instrumentation outcomes across ESPN digital products driving measurement strategy, schema design, and end-to-end delivery across web, mobile, and connected TV. The scope runs the full lifecycle: from defining what gets measured and why, through implementation and validation support, to ensuring downstream teams have the reliable, well-documented data they can build on. Own data collection outcomes for ESPN's digital products - accountable for completeness, accuracy, and usability across your instrumentation domain.

Fluency with AI tools in your own work, and a track record of raising that bar across the PMs you influence. Familiarity with the modern cloud data stack and how collection quality and schema choices affect downstream analytics, ML, and BI. Proficiency in SQL and/or Python for data validation, schema verification, and troubleshooting.
