About this role:



The USGA is evolving the GHIN platform-one of the most widely used digital golf products in the U.S.-into a modern, data-driven, and engaging experience for all golfers. As Senior Product Manager, youʼll play a core role in driving this evolution.

Youʼll report directly to the Director of Product and lead high-priority initiatives across the mobile and web experience-owning features from idea to launch, shaping key UX decisions, writing detailed functional requirements, and collaborating with design and engineering to ship thoughtful, user-centered work. This is a hands-on, high-impact product role designed for a strong executor who thrives on clarity, cross-functional teamwork, and continuous improvement.

You'll help shape the digital future of golf, work on a platform used by millions of passionate golfers, and work on a small, high-impact team where you'll have real ownership and visibility.

What you'll do:

• End-to-end feature ownership across core parts of the GHIN experience- including:
  
  
  • Post & Play Flows (score posting and in-round UX)
  • Stats & Analytics (data-driven insights and visualizations)
  • Gamification (virtual leaderboards and challenges)
  • Social & Community (friends, groups, and sharing)
  • Onboarding & Education (new user experience)
• Write and maintain clear, detailed product requirements and user stories (PRDs/JIRA) for development teams
• Partner with design to ensure features align to the GHIN design system and elevate the brand experience
• Support QA, user acceptance testing, and post-launch iteration
• Use data, research, and user feedback to drive product decisions and continuous improvement
• Help define and document internal product processes as the team scales

Where you'll be:



This role will be based at our Liberty Corner, NJ campus on a hybrid schedule. Employees are expected to spend 3 days per week working in the office, between Monday - Thursday.

What you bring:

• 4+ years of product management experience, ideally on mobile user-facing products
• Proven ability to write clear, actionable functional requirements and work directly with engineers
• Comfortable juggling multiple features in parallel while maintaining quality and clarity
• Experience using JIRA, Confluence, Figma, and product analytics tools
• Strong collaboration skills-able to work closely with design, engineering, and stakeholders
• Bias toward clarity, systems thinking, and user-centered design
• Familiarity or interest in golf, sports tech, performance tracking, or wellness is a strong bonus
