About the Role

The BU Manager, Goalie is a high-impact leadership position within CCM’s Commercialization team. Acting with a general manager mindset, you will own the full strategic and commercial lifecycle of the Goalie category — from long-range product vision through to handoff to the Go-To-Market team. You’ll lead a cross-functional team spanning Product Management, Design, and Development, and serve as the category’s senior voice across the organization.

This is a role for a strategic manager who is equally comfortable in a boardroom presenting to executives, on the floor with product developers, and in deep conversation with athletes and retailers.
