Product Manager, Special Events

RTS · New York, NY, USA · Remote ·

Job type:
Full Time

Role Description
We’re hiring a Product Manager to help define and build new products at Evo, with an initial focus on Evo Legends. This is a product role first. You’ll set direction, prioritize work, and drive execution across a mix of live, content, and fan-facing experiences.

Your primary focus will be Evo Special Events, including traveling live events built around exhibition matches, player storytelling, and fan experiences (E.g. Evo Legends and Evo Showcases). You’ll be responsible for shaping how this product is defined, how it shows up in different markets, and how it evolves over time. At the same time, you’ll be expected to think more broadly about how Evo builds and scales products that serve players, organizers, and fans. This will include consumer experiences across both internally and externally produced events and programming.

This role requires strong judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to move between strategy and execution.
