- Develop a deep understanding of how sports organisations operate, building strong relationships with customers and internal stakeholders to stay close to the problem space

- Define and manage a prioritised roadmap, ensuring the team is always focused on the highest-impact work

- Actively monitor the competitive landscape and emerging market trends in sports performance technology, using those insights to sharpen prioritisation and inform product strategy

- Partner with engineering and design squads to translate insights into well-scoped, outcome-driven deliverables

- Foster the principle of building the smallest valuable thing and iterating based on evidence and feedback

- Define clear success metrics for your product area and use data to guide decisions and measure outcomes

- Build and communicate a commercial case for your roadmap investments, demonstrating clear linkage between product decisions and business outcomes such as retention, expansion and customer value

- Communicate progress, risks, and decisions clearly to stakeholders across the business

- Collaborate with Sales, Customer Success and Marketing to support successful go-to-market execution

Experience and skills we're looking for:

- Track record in a Product Manager role within a B2B SaaS environment, owning a product area end-to-end

- Strong understanding of the full product development lifecycle, from discovery through to release and ongoing iteration

- Excellent client-facing and stakeholder management skills, with experience translating complex user needs into clear product requirements

- Strong background in building products with design at the centre of the approach

- Customer-centric mindset with the ability to incorporate both qualitative and quantitative inputs to inform decision-making

- Commercially minded, with a clear understanding of how product decisions influence revenue, retention and customer value — and the ability to articulate that to senior stakeholders

- Demonstrated ability to track and analyse the competitive landscape, synthesising market signals into actionable product insights

- Proficient in using AI tools, such as Claude, Gemini or similar, to accelerate discovery, research, prototyping and decision-making, and have an understanding of how AI/ML capabilities can be applied within a product context

- Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, design, sales and customer success to drive results

- Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and managing trade-offs across scope, quality and time

- Entrepreneurial, self-motivated and highly organised

Ideally, you will have:

- Familiarity with sports performance, sports science or athlete health workflows

- An understanding of how performance staff, such as coaches, sports scientists, physiotherapists or analysts, use technology in their day-to-day work
