# Scores Product Specialist

**Location:** United States **Type:** Full Time **Department:** Audience & Experience **Experience Level:** Entry Level

## What You'll Do

You're the person who makes sure Prep Scores actually works, and then makes it better. Day-to-day, that means owning the operational health of scores data across 45+ markets and multiple sports, and keeping the in-season machine running for football and basketball. You'll coordinate scout engagement, manage classification update cycles, and build the processes that turn good-enough into genuinely reliable. But this role isn't just about keeping the lights on; it's about pushing the product forward. You'll dig into user behavior data, analyze traffic trends, and bring real product-level thinking to the evolution of Scores from a data-aggregation foundation into a system that leverages user-reported data, live scoring, and community features. If you like owning something end-to-end, operations and product, process and vision, this is your seat.
