Who We Are
At Brooks, we believe movement is the key to feeling more alive. That’s why we’re driven to create gear and experiences that take people to the place that makes them feel more alive — whether it’s a headspace, a feeling, or a finish line.
Everyone who works at Brooks is propelled by a company culture that sparks excitement, fuels collaboration, inspires creativity, and ignites innovation.
Our brand values help bond us together and drive our success:
Your Job
As Brooks evolves its direct-to-consumer business, our digital platform must become faster, more
reliable, and easier to build on. This role exists to shift foundation and platform work from reactive
delivery to intentional product ownership — enabling teams to move faster, make better decisions, and
deliver meaningful value to runner.
As a Senior Digital Product Manager, Foundation & Platform, you will link runner needs, business
strategy, and product and engineering efforts by treating Brooks’ digital foundation and platforms as
products. Grounded in runner needs, business priorities, and technical realities, you will partner with
business and technical leaders to create a streamlined, performant, and scalable platform that enables
teams to build, deploy, and operate solutions efficiently.
You will be an effective communicator of objectives and priorities in a persuasive manner that builds
support, consensus, and commitment across cross-functional teams to execute our product, platform,
and business strategies. You will bridge the gap between technical and business engagement and serve
as an advocate of the enterprise to advise our platform providers and delivery teams to bring solutions
and enhancements that solve customer problems and deliver value to the business.
