Location: New York

Who We Are: LeagueApps is the operating system and community for youth and local sports leaders, equipping them with the technology, tools, and professional network they need to grow, scale, and play for the future. Our platform powers thousands of clubs, tournaments, leagues, camps, and facilities, serving over 10 million participants nationwide. Backed by professional leagues, teams, and athletes as investors and partners, we're helping modernize the youth sports industry with our best-in-class SaaS platform.

We operate at the intersection of sports, technology, and community. From registration to payments to communications, our platform makes running sports seamless for organizations across the country. Beyond software, we foster a community of leaders, sharing insights on critical issues like increasing girls' participation in sports, preventing youth injuries, and understanding how technology is shaping the future of play.

Mission-driven at our core, our purpose is to create amazing sports experiences for all. To further this mission, we founded and continue to support the FundPlay Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to strengthening sports-based youth development organizations. FundPlay helps bring meaningful sports opportunities to hundreds of thousands of underserved kids and communities every year.

Role Mission: As Senior Product Manager, Financial Services, you will own the end-to-end financial experience for sports organizers, from how money flows into the platform to how it is managed, reconciled, deployed, and scaled. Reporting to the Head of Product, you'll set the strategy and execution for the financial services domain, building a cohesive, compliant, and scalable system that supports organizers' full financial lifecycle.

This role is deeply hands-on and execution-oriented. You will operate at the intersection of fintech, SaaS, and sports operations, building integrated financial workflows that enable organizers to collect revenue, manage expenses, reconcile accounts, and access capital, all within a unified platform experience. While you won't have direct people management responsibilities, you'll be expected to operate with senior-level judgment, cross-functional influence, and full ownership of one of the company's most strategic growth areas.
