• Review live and non‑live content performance to ensure a polished experience for fans.
• Support development of sport‑specific user journeys, personalisation, and engagement ideas.
• Be an internal ambassador for NFL, bringing fan expectations into every discussion.

What You'll Bring:

• Deep passion, knowledge, and understanding of NFL — teams, leagues, scheduling, culture, and how fans consume the sport digitally.
• Strong interest in digital products, UX, apps, streaming, or sports technology.
