About Zachary Jimerson

I’m a Computer Science and Business graduate from USC with experience building digital products across both startup and high-growth environments. I bring a user-focused mindset, technical fluency, and strong cross-functional instincts to product roles—shaping everything from requirements and design to go-to-market strategy and execution. At Venu Sports, a joint venture between Disney, FOX, and Warner Bros. Discovery, I supported content and programming strategy during the platform’s design and build phase. I collaborated with product, engineering, and marketing to improve content discovery, user engagement, and live event delivery—informing key editorial and merchandising decisions with data, sports trends, and consumer behavior insights. At Goaler, I joined as the first product hire, working directly with the CEO to define the v1 product scope and roadmap. I conducted market research to identify target user segments, created wireframes with design and engineering, and led go-to-market planning—including lifecycle messaging and onboarding flows. Through hands-on experience at Venu, Goaler, and USC, I’ve developed skills in product definition, user research, design collaboration, and execution across mobile platforms. Projects have included building a social app around platonic shared interests, analyzing GameStop’s evolving business model, and helping launch a personalized subscription box business. I thrive in fast-paced environments where ideas turn into products that make a real difference. I’m especially drawn to teams that value innovation, craft, and the kind of deep collaboration that brings great ideas to life. Whether shaping a first release or evolving an existing product, I focus on building user-first experiences that drive measurable growth and business impact. That blend of product thinking, execution, and customer empathy is where I do my best work: Product Management • User Research • UX Design • iOS & Android Development Wireframing • Strategic Analysis • Go-to-Market Planning Cross-Functional Collaboration • Figma • JIRA • GitHub • Airtable • Google Analytics

   As a Product Management Contractor at Goaler, I worked closely with the founding CEO and development team to define the requirements for the v1 product release. I conducted thorough market research to identify key user segments and developed a positioning strategy to meet their needs. I also played a pivotal role in creating wireframes and collaborated with designers to refine the app layout, notification flows, and overall user experience. In addition, I led the development of the go-to-market strategy, which included planning the product launch, designing lifecycle messaging, and creating welcome email templates for users.
