What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Technical Product Manager position at Arena Club?
About Arena Club
If you’re fascinated by sports cards and memorabilia, your search ends here. Arena Club is pioneering the collectibles domain by introducing the first-ever digital card show. Spearheaded by 5x World Series Champion Derek Jeter and serial entrepreneur Brian Lee, Arena Club has developed a fully digital marketplace. This innovative platform is built on trust, transparency, and fun, featuring grading & authentication, vaulting, and digital pack openings for collectors to build and showcase their collections in a personalized online showroom from anywhere in the world.
About The Role
We are seeking a Senior Technical Product Manager who thrives at the intersection of technology, product vision, and execution. You’ll own high-impact initiatives across our platform—building the systems and capabilities that power Arena Club’s marketplace, vaulting, and trading experiences.
This role blends strategic product thinking with technical depth. You’ll define the roadmap for backend platforms and integrations, partner closely with Engineering and Design to deliver scalable solutions, and ensure every release pushes the product—and the business—forward.
You’re as comfortable discussing API schema and data models as you are aligning stakeholders on product goals. You’ll be the connective tissue between product strategy and technical execution, driving initiatives from concept to launch.
What You Will Do
Life at Arena Club isn’t for the faint of heart — and that’s by design. We’re building products and experiences the collectibles world has never seen. This is a proving ground. It demands your best every single day, because anything less means you’re falling behind.
From day one, you’re in the game. Trusted to deliver, expected to own outcomes, and driven to raise the bar higher than you thought possible. We don’t just execute — we innovate, compete, and win together.
If you want routine or predictability, you won’t find it here. But if you’re ambitious, relentless, and hungry to prove yourself on a team built to dominate — step into the arena. You’ll discover growth and reward here, unlike anywhere else.
