Project Manager to lead our basketball R&D project with NBA
Tonsser has since its launch in 2015 become the leading app and community for European youth football players, focussing on powering players to capture their performances, compete and unlock their potential. Behind the Tonsser app, used by 2 million players, we've spend 8 years of building a new data collection model to make youth football transparent and connected, and allow players to compare and possibly be identified.
We are now excited to start a new phase of our journey. 5 years after meeting the NBA strategy and innovation team, and slowly learning more about the global demand, challenges and exciting opportunities for empowering basketball athletes, we are both humble and fired up to start a possibly very impactful collaboration with NBA through the NBA Launchpad program.
Initially, we team up for a 6-month R&D phase to explore, test and prototype data models and products, inspired by what Tonsser has created for footballers, intended to power the global young basketball community to compare, compete, be identified and get access to opportunities.
We are looking for a Project Manager to lead the R&D phase from start in February 2024 to conclusion of the project in July 2024, where we will be presenting the results, prototype and recommendations to NBA, investors and other members of the basketball world in Las Vegas as part of the NBA Summer League.
The R&D phase will consist of two parts: 1) The data collection and testing phase and 2) the prototype phase. You, in collaboration with existing team members, will lead the first phase before collaborating with designers and product team to create the app prototype. While this is a pilot project and as a result a project role to demonstrate and test the potential of the product, we are hopeful that we together can unlock a long-term plan for the product and the role can turn into a full time position.
The opportunity
- Lead the Tonsser x NBA R&D project
- A rare opportunity to build the first steps towards a possibly very impactful product for young basketball players
