Role Summary

Fanatics Collect, the trading card marketplace and collector platform within Fanatics Collectibles, is looking for a Product Marketing Lead, Topps Experiences. Reporting to the Senior Director, Product Marketing, this person will own product marketing for this area end-to-end: understanding collectors and shaping what gets built, then turning that into launches that drive awareness, adoption, and repeat engagement across Tier A releases Red Rookie Redemptions, the broader redemptions program, and Instant Packs. This position will be

responsible for handling a wide variety of duties, which include, but are not limited to the ones listed below.

What you will be doing...

Lead collector feedback and research efforts around redemption and checklist experiences, translating friction points into personas and JTBD for the Topps on Collect roadmap.

Collaborate cross functionally to champion the collector's voice on Topps releases across Fanatics Collect & Live and redemptions across Product, Topps stakeholders, and leadership.

Partner with Product to shape the Topps on Collect roadmap, value proposition, and early GTM planning for major releases, Red Rookie Redemptions, and Instant Packs.

Build integrated launch plans for major Topps releases, Red Rookie Redemptions, the broader redemptions program, and Instant Packs, with clear goals, timelines, and roles across Product, Topps.com, and Studio.

Develop clear, differentiated messaging for every Topps-branded moment on Fanatics Collect that stays consistent with Topps.com.

Equip CX, AM, and seller-facing teams with playbooks and talking points for Topps releases and redemptions.

Define and track launch and product-marketing performance including awareness, adoption, retention, and redemption completion rates, iterating and optimizing post-launch.

What you will bring...

8+ years of product marketing experience supporting consumer technology products, with demonstrated ownership of digital product launches and end-to-end go-to-market strategy. Experience with mobile apps, marketplaces, streaming, fintech, gaming, collectibles, or consumer commerce is strongly preferred.

Comfortable running qualitative research (interviews, feedback loops, journey mapping) and translating it into personas, JTBD, or roadmap input, not just briefs.

Proven ability to build and lead an integrated launch plan end-to-end, from positioning through cross-functional enablement through post-launch measurement.

Strong cross-functional collaboration skills; comfortable driving alignment across Product, Growth, Creative, and Commercial without direct authority.

Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, equally comfortable writing an insights memo and a launch brief.

Ability to work autonomously while taking direction from leadership.

Familiarity with trading cards, redemption programs, or licensed sports/entertainment products is a strong plus.
